Decolonizing and Healing: Catholic Church and Mexican Colonization | Drum Circle News

In this impactful 15-minute episode of Drum Circle News, Dylan Aubrey sits down with Sean Milanovich, an elder from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, to discuss crucial issues surrounding decolonization and healing for Native families. Dylan asks Sean what advice he would give to Native families struggling with resentment against the Catholic Church and fellow Natives who practice Catholicism.

Sean shares a heart-wrenching story about his Aunt and the atrocities committed by Father Hahn at the boarding school on his reservation, shedding light on the profound trauma inflicted by the Catholic Church.

The conversation then shifts to the often-overlooked topic of Mexican colonization of Native lands before European colonizers arrived.
