About

Left Behind Natives is a podcast hosted by Charlie Mato-Toyela, dedicated to amplifying the voices of Native Americans who are often overlooked by mainstream media. Through in-depth interviews with artists, activists, historians, professionals, and everyday Native people, we explore the rich and diverse experiences within Native communities. We also dive into aspects of Native American history and culture that are rarely taught in schools or widely known by the general public.

Our goal is to educate both Native and non-Native audiences, challenge stereotypes, and dispel misconceptions. Whether you're looking to learn more about Native history, culture, or contemporary issues, Left Behind Natives brings forward the stories that deserve to be heard.

Join us as we uncover the voices and histories that have too often been left behind.
