Tallie Jones | New Beginnings
In this new podcast series, we explore what Land Back can look like in practice while challenging the lack of cultural awareness surrounding the history of Whatcom County. Through conversations with community members, we aim to share a fuller and more truthful understanding of this place and the Indigenous peoples who have called it home since time immemorial.
In this episode, we speak with Tallie Jones, former Executive Director of Mindport Exhibits, about growing up in Whatcom County, her evolving understanding of Indigenous history, and the role education plays in shaping public awareness. She also reflects on closing a meaningful chapter at Mindport Exhibits and the conversations that led to the building being gifted to Setting Sun Circle.
