Archiving Political Histories that Shape Education

Podcast Guests: Azalea Camacho (host), Ellen-Rae Cachola (storyteller), Sandy Enriquez, Amalia Medina Castañeda, and Talea Anderson

Ellen-Rae shares an archival story of Chief Justice William S. Richardson, his experience as a mixed-race Native Hawaiian during the Territorial period of Hawaiʻi, and his efforts to lead diverse peoples during the transition to Statehood--a time of political change that is still debated today.  Guests reflect, share, and discuss how aspects of archives have settler colonial histories that impact Indigenous advocacy, ethnic relations, community histories, archival practice, and higher education.
