About this episode

Trevor unpacks the Columbus Day debate and whether it's honoring a genocidal colonialist or erasing history. In the field, Michael Kosta explores the conflict between wealthy Hamptons dwellers and the Shinnecock, an indigenous tribe nearby, and Aasif Mandvi reports on Native American sports mascots. Also, actor Jason Momoa discusses "Gather," his documentary about Native American communities' fight to reclaim their food and land.
