About episode 035:

Paul Holdengräber is joined by Davina Two Bears on episode 035 of The Quarantine Tapes. They discuss the history of Native American boarding schools, decolonizing the fields of archaeology and anthropology, and how music can be used as a form of resistance.

Davina Two Bears is Diné (Navajo) from Northern Arizona. She has a PhD in Anthropology from Indiana University – Bloomington and is currently a Anne Ray fellow at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Two Bears grew up on the Navajo Reservation, and is a life-long listener of Native American and Indigenous music from her tribe and other Native American Nations. While a grad student, she began to volunteer as a DJ playing Native American traditional and contemporary music. She became instantly hooked and realized the breadth and depth of Native American and Indigenous musical talent from the Canadian Artic to the tip of South America. She has taught a college course entitled, “Indians Who Rock the World: Native American Contemporary Music,” and hopes to continue learning, teaching, and DJing Native American and Indigenous music. You can listen to her online radio show “Indigenous Voice”, every fourth Sunday of the month on dublab.com
