Town Destroyer | Reframing George Washington and History

Season 11 Episode 8

About the Episode

George Washington's legacy is based on his role as one of the Founding Fathers and the first president of the United States. But for the Iroquois and tribal nations, he is known as the Town Destroyer (Hanodaga:yas). At San Francisco's George Washington High School, the Victor Arnautoff murals expose his harm to Native Americans and slaves, and has laid controversy to students and the community.
