This is the story of the volunteers and social workers who created a place for urban Indians in Seattle. Beginning in the 1940s, a large number of Indians moved to cities from reservations. Sometimes this was through government-sponsored relocation programs. Other times, native people moved on their own initiative. But relocation came at a cost: families were broken apart, culture was lost. The effects of that dislocation continue today. And today, social workers continue to help Native people find each other, in order to maintain community and pride.

Review of Urban Indian Experience: Episode 2 - A Place to Call Home
Well done Seattle relocation stories. Compelling, well voice, mixed. Some minor inconsistencies on the history of relocation but overall listenable and interesting.
New information for many people.
