On this episode of Along The Seam, Rachael is joined by Cliff Sebastian who is a member of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation in Connecticut – one of the oldest Native Tribes in the New England area. Cliff shares his experiences growing up on a reservation, his reflections of being at Standing Rock with fellow water protectors and insight into community conversations about their history. Through the revitalization of the Pequot language, Cliff tells us how modern generations are finding new words to describe old wounds.
