In this episode, Carlton does a solo interview with Rebekah Lamb. Rebekah is pursuing her Bachelor's degree in Cultural Anthropology and Developmental Sociology and minoring in Archaeology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Zuidoost. Rebekah belongs to the Abenaki Tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy as well as being a descendant of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Carlton and Rebekah talk about her research on Abenaki tattoo practices through apprenticeship ethnography, studying both the historical and contemporary significance and the revival of traditional tattooing culture within New England Indigenous tribes. We also discuss the challenges facing New England Indigenous Nation's cultural practices and history, issues of blood-quantum, decolonizing academia.
