To lose your home, your language, your sacred rites — not all at once, but piece by piece, policy by policy, mile by mile?In this immersive sleep-friendly historical journey, we explore what it meant to be a Native American in 19th century America — through forced removals, broken treaties, boarding schools, massacres, and quiet acts of survival. This is not the story told in textbooks. This is the lived reality: the hunger, the silence, the whispered prayers, and the stories that refused to die.Told in a calm, slow voice meant to help you rest, this isn’t just history. It’s memory. It’s grief. And it’s survival — against all odds.
