From Borders to Borderlands: A Conversation with Colette Denali Montoya-Sloan
On this episode, we're joined by Colette Denali Montoya-Sloan, a member of the Pueblo of Isleta and a descendant of the Pueblo of San Felipe. A librarian interested in oral history and issues of Indigenous identity, Colette shared a wealth of experiences with us in this fun conversation! We heard about her earliest memories of American Girl, her first introduction to Kaya, and what she makes of Kaya's story now as an adult collector exploring questions of identity and narrative in her excellent Inky Marina blog (https://blog.inkymarina.com/) and Instagram account (@inkymarina). This episode will leave you with lots of great reading recs, resources, and questions, including what music should be played at Borders?
