Hosts: Nehez Meniooh & Giziribtah Debasah
Guests: Elder Anthony Cole
We continue our series honoring our Elders, confronting the way we’re encouraged to devalue them. We speak to genealogist Elder Anthony Cole who teaches us how to get started in investigating in our family history. Our first and most important step must be interviewing the living Elders of our families and getting some of the wealth of wisdom and stories they have. By doing so, we start on a journey towards discovering our Ancestors, who and where we come from. Discovering our Ancestors is discovering ourselves, a critical step that must not be neglected as it expands our understanding of ourselves and the world. Elder Anthony gives advice and detailed instructions on getting started with interviewing your Elders.
