Malinche, Pocahontas, and Sacagawea were three Native American women who interpreted and mediated between the colonized and the colonizers during the time of first contact. In this video, students in the Master of Applied Linguistics and TESOL program at Macquarie University explore the story of these three women - both as intercultural communicators in their own right and as the symbols of culture contact into which they were molded by later generations. 

The video was produced by Brynn Quick, Lydia Liu, and Vanessa Sanchez-Guayazan for the unit "Languages and cultures in contact" taught by Ingrid Piller.
