In this episode, hear from Chief Moon Hawk of the Yamassee-Guale Nation of Georgia, and Jacob Rogers as they explore the history, heritage, and ongoing work of the Yamassee-Guale Nation.
The conversation highlights the Nation’s history in Georgia, its efforts to preserve and share its cultural heritage, and its current goal of gaining state recognition as a tribe in Georgia. Irene and Chief Moon Hawk also discuss the importance of representation and advocacy in that process and what it means to ensure the voices of Native communities are heard.
The conversation also touches on civic engagement as a year-round effort. Civic engagement doesn’t stop after an election—it happens 365 days a year through staying informed, building relationships, participating in your community, and making sure all voices have an opportunity to be heard.
