Podcast Overview

Native Stories with E. Salvador Chapman was created to showcase Indigenous stories that have been shared with the world through a variety of sources: some written, some spoken, always meaningful. Each week, I read a different Indigenous story from across Native land, always citing the original source and offering links, when available, for listeners who want to explore more from the authors and communities who originally published these works. I offer thoughtful, measured reflections each episode, focused on meaning, context, and connection rather than critique or controversy. This podcast is part of a larger mission: to honor Indigenous storytelling traditions, both traditional and contemporary, and to keep these stories alive in the hearts and imaginations of listeners and future storytellers.
