Whose faces are we carrying in our pockets every day?

We break down how U.S. currency honors slave owners, colonizers, and architects of Native genocide, and how that daily symbolism reinforces power and erasure. We also talk about Indigenous economies before the dollar—wampum, trade, livestock, and the teachings that defined real wealth long before capitalism.

From the faces on coins and bills to the jewelry our people wore as wealth and protection, this episode challenges listeners to rethink money, memory, and value. What it really means to carry history in your wallet.
