Tune in to The Graduates Tuesday December 3rd @ 9AM for an interview with Katie Keliiaa from the Department of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley.
Katie studies the Bay Area Outing Program, an early twentieth century assimilation program which took Native American women out of their tribal lands and brought them to the Bay Area to perform domestic work. Katie discusses how the Native American women in the program managed to resisted assimilation and managed to establish vibrant communities rooted in pan-Indian identity.
The Graduates, featuring graduate student research at Cal, is broadcast every other Tuesday on KALX 90.7 FM. Past episodes are available to listen and download free on iTunes or online. This episode of The Graduates is hosted by Andrew Saintsing, a PhD candidate in the Department of Integrative Biology.
