The American Indian Experience
Wednesday, November 10 2010
by Alex Granados and Frank Stasio
You may know that millions of natives were already in North America when Columbus "discovered" the New World, but you may not know that American Indian history is a story of a complicated and diverse people with cultures and societies more sophisticated than the European settlers ever knew. Host Frank Stasio honors National American Indian Heritage Month with Brandi Brooks, program coordinator for the American Indian Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Theda Perdue, professor of Southern Culture at UNC-Chapel Hill and co-author of the book "North American Indians: A Very Short Introduction" (Oxford University Press/2010).
