Hi guys. sovereign accidentally forgot to upload this episode.  This week, Sovereign syre and Ela Darling finish their two part episode about Juana Maria, the last Nicoleno. Today we focus on what happened to her story long after her death when it was reimagined as the popular children's novel Island of the Blue Dolphins.  Since its publication, Island of the Blue Dolphins, a fictionalized telling of the story of a Nicoleno woman abandoned on San Nicolas Island for twenty years, often credited as the last of her tribe, the book has been a staple in American curriculum. The very sanitized story told in the book, featuring a twelve year old girl who learns to survive on her own by finding harmony with the land and animals that surround her, manages to tell the story of the Lone Woman, without telling us anything about her at all. In effect the book serves as colonialist propaganda. And today, we’re going to correct the record.
