Houma Nation: Place of Many Tongues

Abstract

Monique Verdin is a daughter of southeast Louisiana’s Houma Nation. In this conversation with Pradnya Garud, Pushpendra Johar, and Noel Didla she discusses the complex interconnectedness of environment, economics, culture, climate, and change that have inspired her to intimately document Houma relatives and their lifeways at the ends of the bayous, as they endure the realities of restoration and adaptation in the heart of America’s Mississippi River Delta.
