Revisiting Indigenous Erasure: The Legacy of California Anthropology

This series tells the multigenerational story of a Coast Miwok family’s eviction from their ancestral home in Northern California, and one woman’s grassroots mission to restore their living history to the land. As we reshare this series over the coming weeks, we’re adding a new fourth episode tracing recent developments in Theresa Harlan’s work, its impact on the community, and the ongoing challenge of creating space for Indigenous history. In Episode One, Theresa Harlan shares the story of her family's uprooting from Tomales Bay, which ended their time there but did not sever their connection to the ancestral lands and waters of Tamal-liwa.

Originally released on January 25, 2022.
