Join us in this insightful episode as we talk with anthropologist Krystal DaCosta about her fascinating article, "Who Are the Indigenous People That Columbus Met?" Krystal, based in New York City, delves into her Caribbean heritage, the colonial narratives she grew up with, and how her understanding of Caribbean history evolved over time. Through a personal lens, Krystal explores how historical narratives can be manipulated, the impact of colonialism on indigenous perceptions, and the importance of re-examining the legacy of figures like Columbus. She also discusses the broader themes of European colonization and the role of education in reshaping these narratives. Listen in to discover how asking questions and understanding diverse histories can challenge long-standing myths and foster a deeper sense of belonging and identity.
