USET/USET SPF Senior Staff's Favorite Podcasts, Television Series, and Films

Native American Heritage Month offers an opportunity for Indian Country to achieve greater visibility and to create a new reality; rooted in truth, in the exertion of our sovereign authorities, in holding America accountable for honoring and fulfilling its promises, and in our cultural values and principles that reflect our special place and understanding of these sacred lands. This week’s theme for NAHM is Art and Culture. While we are grateful that the month of November provides a moment of education about our culture and traditions, we encourage you to stay on this journey all year long. One of the ways to keep celebrating and learning about the lives of Native Americans is to listen to podcasts and watch television and film that speaks to indigenous issues and features Native American speakers, writers, directors, and actors. Below is a list of USET/USET SPF senior staff’s favorite podcasts, television series, and films.
