Why are so many undocumented migrants in the US Indigenous?

Every year, hundreds of thousands of migrants from Central America and Mexico make their way to the US border, fleeing violence, environmental destruction, persecution, and displacement. Many of these migrants are from indigenous groups. In the first episode of Season 2, host Maggie Perzyna explores the historical roots of this migration, and how the echoes of colonialism are shaping the journey of Indigenous migrants.Guests: Odilia Romero, Executive Director and Co-founder, Comunidades Indígenas en Liderazgo (CIELO); Shannon Speed, Chickasaw Nation, Director, American Indian Studies Center and Professor of Gender Studies and Anthropology, UCLA; Asad L.
