It’s almost Indigenous Peoples’ Day. To mark the holiday, we’re revisiting a conversation between City Cast’s Elizabeth Kauma and Miguel Sague from the Council of Three Rivers Indian American Center. The Steel City loves to revel in its own history, but many of those stories are rooted in colonialism and the generations of immigration that followed. Sague joins us to talk about the Indigenous Peoples who preceded them, and whose land we’re actually on.
