America.

This one’s for you.

We know you’re getting up there in age and feeling a little weathered, but as you approach your semi-quincentennial, let’s make sure the world remembers what you’re all about.

What’s that?

Your memory isn’t what it used to be and, lately, you’ve been retelling reenacting some of the more troubling chapters of your past, dragging everyone around you into a settler-colonial fever dream?

That’s ok.

First America is here to remind you that your origin story is a little more complicated than the version you’ve been telling yourself.

Have you ever wondered whether there’s more to the American Revolution than taxation without representation?

Could the story of resistance and self-governance also be a story about Native nations fighting to survive a revolution that threatened their own futures?

At a time when history is being reexamined through fresh eyes and long-standing narratives are facing renewed scrutiny, First America explores American foundations from a perspective too often left out of the story.

As you tune in to unravel these complexities, shedding light on the very foundation of what many consider America's birth story, you’ll discover that America’s founding wasn’t simply the birth of one nation.

You may not agree with every interpretation, but you’re almost guaranteed to come away questioning just how complete your understanding of America’s founding really was.

Have a listen, and let us know what you think.
