New Podcast Series Celebrates the Truth of America’s History

June 25, 2026

First Nations is excited to sponsor and promote the new podcast series First America, a Red Media production that tells the true story of our country’s founding and the current political environment that is 250 years in the making.

Written and reported by award-winning journalist Rebecca Nagle (Cherokee Nation), First America brings together Indigenous experts and historians to unveil the root of authoritarianism in the United States.

This week and continuing through July, we’ll highlight the latest releases of this six-episode series, starting with “Merciless Indian Savages,” which premiered Monday. Listen as Rebecca sits down with historian Ned Blackhawk (Western Shoshone) to talk about how hunger for Indigenous land drove the Revolution, and how it was intolerance of Native Americans – not taxation and representation – that led to the Declaration of Independence.
