Heritage Voices
Heritage Voices, hosted by Jessica Yaquinto, explores the intersections of Indigenous heritage, archaeology, and cultural preservation. Each episode features conversations with Indigenous professionals, culture bearers, and allies working in heritage, language revitalization, tribal historic preservation, and collaborative archaeology. The show highlights Indigenous voices and perspectives in a field historically dominated by Western narratives. Whether you're a heritage professional, archaeologist, or simply passionate about inclusive storytelling, Heritage Voices offers meaningful insights into how Native communities are leading the way in preserving and interpreting their own histories.
