What can we learn from water?In this live conversation from Tidelands in Seattle, Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg writer, musician, and scholar Leanne Betasamosake Simpson joins All My Relations to discuss her new book Theory of Water: Nishnaabe Maps to the Times Ahead, our second selection for the All My Relations Book Club.Leanne invites us to listen to water as both teacher and theorist, “Water changes forms from a solid to a liquid to a gas. It expands our understanding of time. It always escapes the container, and it connects us all.” Instead of centering land as the primary orientation point, she turns to water to imagine how we might build beyond the limits of the present.Together we explore grief, creation stories, Indigenous resurgence, and the difficult work of world-making in a time shaped by colonialism, racial capitalism, and ecological crisis. As Leanne reminds us, “Listening to water and thinking through world making means that we have to collaborate with each other… building against this present moment. That's a struggle, but it's a relational struggle to give birth to something different.”At its heart, this conversation asks what it means to create futures rooted in Indigenous intelligence, care, and responsibility—and what water might already be teaching us about how to begin.A/V Production by Francisco “Pancho” Sánchez @videosdelsanchoMusic by Mato Wayuhi @matowayuhiProduced by Matika Wilbur @matikawilburEpisode Artwork by Kitana Marie @creatortwahnaVideo Edit/Social Media by Mandy Yeahpau @dontguacblocText us your thoughts!Support the showFollow us on Instagram @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Do you know the true narratives that shape the people, animals and lands of the Salish Coast?This episode of All My Relations explores Lushootseed creation stories as living knowledge, used to understand the past, guide us through the present and prepare us for an uncertain future.Make your face still and quit moving your tailbone as you listen to our conversation with Puyallup Tribal Language Director Amber Hayward and Tidelands co-curator Ashley Frantz (Makah). Amber Hayward walks us through how Lushootseed creation histories were documented in the English language, and only fully understood contemporarily through the movement to revitalize Lushootseed, the language of the Salish Coast. Through this episode we begin to understand the importance of these histories, how to tell and listen to them in a good way and even hear part of the creation story told in Lushootseed.Ashley Frantz joins the conversation to talk about the upcoming art gallery exhibition at All My Relations' home base Tidelands. A group exhibition co-created with the Puyallup language department and in collaboration with 8 other Tribal Lushootseed language departments (and Lummi).  The exhibition will be opening February 7th at 6 PM. All are welcome to the opening reception as well as to see the exhibition which runs through July 2026. Tidelands gallery hours are 11am - 5pm, Wednesday through Sunday, no stairs are required to enter Tidelands or to access the entire exhibition.

What does it mean to survive—and who carries the story afterward?When writer and filmmaker Julian Brave NoiseCat talks about survival, he does not begin with abstraction. He begins with a story. On this episode of All My Relations, Julian joins us to discuss his new book, We Survived the Night, a father–son narrative shaped in the tradition of a Coyote story—layered, funny, painful, and exacting in its truths.The book traces Julian's relationship with his father through ancestral structure rather than Western memoir form. Coyote appears not as metaphor but as guide: a trickster forefather who teaches through contradiction, humor, and refusal. Julian describes dark Indigenous humor as a survival strategy honed over generations and carried forward through oral tradition.Throughout the conversation, Julian challenges the language often used to contain Indigenous knowledge. These stories are not myths or folklore. They live and change, told differently depending on who listens, who tells them, and what the moment requires. Multiple truths coexist within them, held in relationship rather than resolved into a single meaning. Indigenous languages, Julian explains, do more than preserve these teachings—they shape how knowledge moves through the world.That insistence on truth also shapes Julian's filmmaking. The episode turns to Sugarcane, his award-winning documentary co-directed with Emily Kassie, which investigates the legacy of St. Joseph's Indian Residential School. The film refuses easy closure, instead asking what responsibility looks like after harm, and how survivors and descendants carry grief alongside love.Across writing and film, Julian returns to the same question: how Indigenous people endure without flattening pain into spectacle. Basket Lady and Coyote emerge not as figures of the past but as living teachers—offering guidance for a present still shaped by trickster energy, rupture, and repair.These stories survived attempted erasure.They survived the night.May the stories of Basket Lady and Coyote live on.++++Resources:Purchase We Survived the Night today:https://shoptidelands.com/products/books-rooted-in-fire-copy?_pos=1&_psq=We+Survived+the+Night&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Watch Sugarcane on Disney+ and HuluNational Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition:https://boardingschoolhealing.org/Tribal Boarding School Toolkit for Healing:https://acf.gov/sites/default/files/documents/ana/NPAIHB_Thrive_BoardinSchoolToolkit.pdfText us your thoughts!Support the showFollow us on Instagram @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

What happens when food becomes a blueprint for liberation? On this episode of All My Relations, we're joined by Chef Sean Sherman (Oglala Lakota) and journalist/co-author Kate Nelson (Tlingit) to talk about Turtle Island—a cookbook, a history lesson, and a future-facing manifesto for Indigenous food sovereignty. We get into what it means to remove colonial borders (and colonial ingredients), why Indigenous foodways are global and relational, and how Sean's nonprofit model is moving real resources back into Indigenous communities—from Native producers to Native jobs. Along the way: moose stew, fir tips, colonized palates, seed keepers, Buffalo Bird Woman's garden, and a clear-eyed conversation about ICE, labor, and who actually feeds this country. Food is the entry point—but sovereignty is the goal. Just change everything. Feed your people.++++ResourcesPurchase Turtle Island Today:  https://shoptidelands.com/products/books-whereas-copy?variant=47505083924728 To learn about Sean's work and North American Traditional Food Systemshttps://natifs.org/ https://seansherman.com/  Kate's Work: https://www.kateanelson.com/ Esquire Article: https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/restaurants/a36474711/chef-sean-sherman-owamni-indigenous-minneapolis-restaurant-profile/ Text us your thoughts!Support the showFollow us on Instagram @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

This week's conversation with Cochemea Gastelum brings our season to a close. The saxophonist and bandleader joins us to discuss his beautiful LP Ancestros Futuros, out now on Daptone Records. Mining his Indigenous roots, soul jazz, and funk, it's a fantastic album, and it completes a trilogy that began with 2019's All My Relations, continued with 2021's Baca Sewa, and now concludes.  Cochemea's resume is lengthy. He worked extensively with the late soul singer Sharon Jones as part of her Dap Kings ensemble and has played with the Budos Band, Antibalas, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Archie Shepp, Public Enemy, the Roots, David Byrne, and more. Genre-hopping comes naturally to the San Diego-raised saxophonist, but the cultural conversation that occurs on these records is especially unique, and it was a pleasure to have him join us to discuss it.  Transmissions is created in partnership with the Talkhouse Podcast Network. We're brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquarium Drunkard⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an independent music media crew headed by Justin Gage.

We're closing out this season of All My Relations with something new and something we're deeply proud of: the launch of our Author Talk series — the first step in the All My Relations + NDN Girls Book Club.In this debut Author Talk, Matika and Temryss sit down with poet and memoirist Sasha LaPointe (Upper Skagit, Nooksack), whose work explores trauma, healing, punk rock, and the power of ancestral memory. Together, they dive into Sasha's acclaimed books Red Paint and Thunder Song, weaving in stories of lineage, belonging, and the courage it takes to write the things we're told not to say.This tender conversation is an intimate exploration of Sasha's life as an author, where we deep dive into storytelling as a form of Indigenous resistance and remembrance, and the challenges of writing through trauma with clarity and care. Sasha reflects on what it means to be a prolific Indigenous woman author and, reveals the hidden histories beneath the tulip fields of the Skagit Valley, and shares how the stories of her ancestors—and sea maidens—still live in her writing and spirit.This episode is not only the season finale—this episode is big medicine, and it's also an invitation. We hope you'll read along with us, join our hybrid book discussions, and help us build a community that supports Indigenous authors.

Today, we have the privilege of having Chaplain Harold Roscher from the Edmonton Healing Center to lead us in worship. We will reflect on 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 & Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, All My Relations. 

We are so proud to introduce our newest collaboration: The Old Growth Table, a brand new podcast hosted by Valerie Segrest (Muckleshoot), launching from our home at Tidelands Studio in downtown Seattle. It's something we've been manifesting for years and it's finally here! In this very special episode, we invite you into the first season of The Old Growth Table by airing its premiere episode right here on All My Relations.Valerie Segrest, Native nutritionist and food advocate, invites us in with teachings about springtime, a season of awakening, when the first wild foods emerge after months of winter stillness. She introduces us to two early spring greens—nettles and dandelions—and shows us how they offer more than nutrition. These are ancestral foods that carry teachings, stories, and ceremony.With humor, honesty, and deep care, we talk about what it means to rekindle relationships with these foods, especially when those relationships have been disrupted or shrouded in shame. Valerie reminds us that food is not just about nutrients— they offer us wisdom, remembering, and healing.Valerie also welcomes two powerful voices in Indigenous food sovereignty—Mariah Gladstone of Indigikitchen and Sean Sherman, author of The Sioux Chef—who join the conversation to reflect on what it means to say: Our food is our medicine.So come join us. Let's listen, gather, and nourish.

In this episode of All My Relations, Matika Wilbur (Swinomish and Tulalip) and Temryss Lane (Lummi Nation) are joined by Gina Amato Lough, Directing Attorney of Public Counsel's Immigrants' Rights Project, to unpack the realities of ICE in Indian Country. We dive into the self-made crisis at the southern border of what is now known as the United States, and the dangers that face not just (im)migrant and Native communities, but everyone living here.With the expertise of someone who has over 20 years of experience working in direct service with asylum seekers, immigrants in detention, survivors of violent crime, unaccompanied children, and victims of notario fraud, Gina guides this conversation with grace in contextualizing where we are right now. She reminds us that the inhumane actions taken by the Trump Administration like the implementation of Remain in Mexico Program and the removal of the CBP App, which eliminated the only lawful way for people to enter the border through – is rooted in U.S. imperialism and has devastating consequences for us all. We explore the unintended consequences and ongoing ramifications of our rapidly eroding democracy; how Trump's deportation machine, if successful, ensures catastrophic consequences for our economy, our education systems, and the base of what supports all our communities. We are reminded that this is not a single issue. ICE in Indian Country impacts all of our livelihoods at every level. So, what does it mean to be a good relative right now? We must return to solidarity with one another. Gina reminds us that focusing on our shared history, cultures, goals and values binds us, and it is by design that communities of color are pitted against each other. The Trump administration's “shock and awe” tactics are not just policy decisions—they are deliberate strategies meant to exhaust us, burn us out, and keep us on the defensive. So start by staying informed, knowing your rights, and sharing resources in the community. From a monetary standpoint, there are organizations you can support like Public Counsel or ACLU – links to all resources mentioned are listed below. This is a call to all relatives—Indigenous and non-Native alike. Keeping our communities safe requires knowing the tactics being used against us and resisting together. We must move beyond defense and take the offensive—leveraging our power through advocacy, spending, voting, and boycotts. Our creativity is more crucial than ever. Together, we are powerful.Public Counsel Donation: https://publiccounsel.org/donate/ACLU: https://www.aclu.org/ Northwest Immigrant Rights Project: httpSend us your thoughts!Support the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Today is the Super Bowl, and while millions gather to watch, we're here to ask: What are we really watching? In this episode of All My Relations, Temryss Lane (Lummi Nation) and Matika Wilbur (Swinomish & Tulalip) dive into the deep, complex relationship between Native communities and sport.American football is more than just a game—it's a battlefield. From its origins at the Carlisle Indian School to its modern-day spectacle of billion-dollar profits, colonial metaphors, and racialized labor, the sport reflects a larger American story. “Football is about violence. It's about territory. It's about power,” Temryss reminds us.We discuss how sports have been both a tool of oppression and liberation for Native athletes, the NFL's plantation-like structure, the devastating impact of CTE on Black and Indigenous players, and the erasure of Native identity through mascotry (looking at you, Chiefs fans).“I can't unsee it. Football is a game where predominantly Black players put their brains on the line for white owners to get richer,” says Matika. “And yet, I grew up watching it with my grandma, pretending to care at Super Bowl parties, and even playing fantasy leagues for years.”We hold the contradictions of loving sport, recognizing its harm, and pushing for better. “Sports teach us belonging,” Temryss says. “It's why Native people are damn good at them.”Watch the Super Bowl if you must, but listen to this first. And for the record—Go Eagles.

In this episode of All My Relations, Matika Wilbur (Swinomish and Tulalip) and Temryss Lane (Lummi Nation)—sit down with Indigenous rights attorney Gabe Galanda (Round Valley Indian Tribes) to discuss the mounting legal threats to Tribal Nationhood, citizenship, and sovereignty. As executive orders and court cases attempt to undermine Native status and question our birthright citizenship, we unpack what's happening and what's at stake.Together, we explore the legal history behind Native Citizenship, from Elk v. Wilkins to the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and how the Supreme Court continues to challenge the political status of Tribal Nations. Gabe highlights the ongoing erasure of Indigenous identity under U.S. law, warning that Native people remain "sub-citizens," not universally protected by the U.S. Constitution, and that our status exists at the mercy of an act of Congress. He raises the unsettling reality that if a simple majority of Congress were to revoke the 1924 Citizenship Act, we could once again be placed in legal limbo.We also turn inward, examining how Tribal policies around blood quantum and disenrollment are eroding our sovereignty from within. Gabe points out that over 70% of Tribal Nations still use blood quantum—a colonial, racialized construct—to determine belonging. We ask ourselves how we can continue to argue for our political status while using a racial measurement to determine our own citizenship? If we don't address these internal challenges, are we eradicating ourselves before the government even has the chance?This episode is an urgent call to rethink Indigenous citizenship and belonging before external forces dictate our future.Join us in this critical conversation.

Send us a textReproductive Justice: Birthing The Next 7 GenerationsIn this episode, we sit down with Camie Jae Goldhammer (Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyaté), BirthKeeper, Reproductive Justice advocate, and founder of Hummingbird Indigenous Family Services, to define, discuss, and explore how Indigenous birthing practices, breastfeeding, and community care intertwines to combat colonial and capitalist systems of oppression that disproportionately affect Indigenous, Black, and, Brown people. The maternal mortality rate of American Indian and Alaska Natives is 8 times higher than white Americans, with 80% of deaths being preventable. Before Hummingbird was founded, there were no resources in the Pacific Northwest specifically for Native parents and families. Camie shares her own birth journey and how it led to her career serving over 3,000 Native moms and parents.This conversation with Camie is a love letter to Native mommas, parents, and communities as she shares her wisdom as an Indigenous Lactation Consultant and Full Spectrum Doula, having co-created the first and only lactation counselor training created for Native people by Native people. Hummingbird's mission is to have healthy Indigenous babies being born into healthy Indigenous families being supported by healthy Indigenous communities. Our Indigenous reproductive justice is healing not only the future generations but also the ones that have come before us. This conversation is especially close to our hearts at All My Relations as Matika's baby #2 is on the way, and resources like Hummingbird Family Services are so crucial to the reclamation of our birthing stories and practices.Tune in for an unforgettable episode on reclaiming Indigenous birthing practices and reproductive justice . +Episode artwork by Ciara Sana & Matika WilburEditing by Teo Shantz Films by Francisco SánchezSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Send us a textThis episode highlights the incredible Native women at the forefront of the efforts to bring about President Biden's recent apology for the harm caused by the federal Indian boarding school system.We sit down with Deb Parker (Tulalip) to uncover the behind-the-scenes journey of this apology, break down its significance, and dive into the Truth and Healing Bill [HR.7227/S.1723]. This bipartisan bill, unanimously approved by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on June 7, 2023, strengthens Tribal sovereignty and centers survivor voices, offering a path toward truth and reconciliation.✨ Special guest Freddie Lane (Lummi) reflects on his time at Chemawa Indian Boarding School and his reaction to Biden's historic speech. His heartfelt story reminds us of the countless children who never made it home and the resilience of those who carry their legacy forward.

To rematriate is to return the sacred to the mother. Join us today as we talk about the collective work of Rematriation with Dr. Dian Million (Tanana Athabascan), Michelle Schenandoah (Oneida Nation) and Marquel Musgrave (Nanbe Owingeh). In this episode, we acknowledge that rematriation IS the work of decolonization; we talk through Indigenous Feminism, Sky Woman, and we even make the connections between Ruth Bater Ginsberg and The Doctrine of Discovery.Dr. Dian Million, is Tanana Athabascan,  and is a Professor in American Indian Studies at the University of Washington. She recieved her Ph. D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 2004.  She is the author of Therapeutic Nations: Healing in an Age of Indigenous Human Rights, as well the author of “Felt Theory: An Indigenous Feminist Approach to Affect and History,” “Intense Dreaming: Theories, Narratives and Our Search for Home,” and most recently “A River Runs Through Me: Theory from Life”. She teaches courses on Indigenous politics, literatures, feminisms and social issues.Michelle Schenandoah is a Rematriation Activist, media maker, and inspirational speaker. She belongs to the Oneida Nation, Wolf Clan, of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Michelle is the host of Rematriated Voices with Michelle Schenandoah, an upcoming talk show highlighting the untold stories and contributions of Indigenous Peoples in Turtle Island. She is also the founder of the nonprofit Rematriation, an organization dedicated to uplifting the Indigenous women led movement of rematriation. Marquel Musgrave is a mother, auntie and tribal citizen of Nanbé Owingeh and currently works for the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center.

She is currently a member of the Tewa Language Committee for her pueblo, and serves on the Board of Directors for Pueblo Action Alliance. They are also co-founder of the Rights of Mother Earth and Water Beings Coalition.The Library Rematriation Project defines this topic, and they say, “By “rematriate” we mean “give back,” but unlike the legal term “repatriate,” which signifies a simple transfer of ownership, “rematriate” means something more profound: a restoration of right relationships and a true action of decolonization, aimed not just at righting a past wrong but transforming our collective future.+++Shout out to our All My Relations team that makes this possible.

Sterlin Harjo (Muskogee/Seminole) and Ryan Redcorn (Osage), join All My Relations for a live podcast to discuss how Native representation in Hollywood can be done right (or Rez-dogged). The conversation is packed with giggles, the importance of sharing opportunities with your community,  the power of creating all Native spaces in entertainment and the journey from the 1491s to now.The tone of this episode is slightly different than some of our more narrative episodes, mostly because you get to hear Matika and Adrienne try to hold it together and not bust up into laughter every two seconds! But also because this series of episodes are from our live recordings at Santa Monica College. The event was part of Matika's year-long artist-in-residency Santa Monica College Barrett Gallery, curated by Emily Silver and developed by an incredible team of students. We're so grateful for all the time and effort that went into making these live recordings happen!Huge thank yous to Santa Monica College and everyone there who made this possible, thank you to the AMR team: Jonathan Stein, Max Levin, Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower,  Darrien Camarillo and Charlie Stavish.

This episode delves into higher education for Native students. While colleges and universities around the US are releasing land acknowledgements, the Indigenous students who come from these lands make up only 1% of college students nationally. We know college can be a source of power and strength for our communities, but we also know the experiences of Native students in college can be difficult and heartbreaking. If higher education in predominantly white, colonial, western institutions is potentially very dangerous for Native people: why should we still look to college as a goal for Native students?To help us explore this question, we talk with Dr. Amanda Tachine (Diné), Assistant Professor, Mary Lou Fulton Teacher's College, Arizona State University; Dr. Bryan Brayboy (Lumbee), President's Professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University; Carmen Lopez (Diné), Executive Director of College Horizons; and Dominick Joseph (Tulalip), a graduate student at The University of Washington.Dr. Tachine's book, “Native Presence and Sovereignty in College:Sustaining Indigenous Weapons to Defeat Systemic Monsters” can be found here: https://www.tcpress.com/native-presence-and-sovereignty-in-college-9780807766132Dr. Brayboy's most recent book, “The School-Prison Trust” can be found here: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-school-prison-trustFind out more about College Horizons at https://collegehorizons.orgAnd check out Dom's podcast, “DomJoseph Podcast” at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dom-joseph-podcast/id1452117571  Huge thanks to the AMR team:·       Does All The Things- Teo Shantz·       1st Editor- Jonathan Stein·       2nd Editor- Darrien Camarillo·       Social Media- Lindsey Hightower·       Production Management- Will PaisleyMusic for this episode was provided by Black Belt Eagle Scout. https://www.blackbelteaglescout.com/In this episode we focus solely on white, western institutions, but we want to acknowledge there is also an entire alternative system of Native higher education already in place we hope to explore in a future episode: Tribal Colleges and Universities!

When Adrienne took time away from All My Relations to focus on her academic obligations, Dr. Dr. Dez stepped into the co-hosting role with Matika. Since then, we have had some great conversation, laughs, and cries with our favorite data warrior, sociologist, demographer, and friend. Desi has been an invaluable member of the team and it was incredible to hear her stories, thoughts and feelings. Now, another time of flux is upon us and we will once again be hearing from the iconic Adrienne and Matika duo that AMR started with. In this episode, Desi will reflect on her time on the pod and Adrienne will reflect on her time off it. We hope you enjoy this short and bittersweet episode and ponder over the growth that has occurred in the past year and a half. As always, thanks for listening and flourishing with us.+++ Keep up with Desi & Data Warriors Lab Adrienne's Book - Notable Native PeopleSupport the showPlease consider becoming a Patreon subscriberFollow us on Instagram+++Thanks to the AMR team that worked on this episode:   Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower, Darrien Camarillo, Jamie Marquez-BratcherThank you to Ciara Sana from Art By Ciara  for our amazing episode artwork.#AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcastSupport the show

All My Relations is proud to offer the third episode in our series on Afro-Indigenous topics, “Black & Native Futures: Liberation and Sovereignty”, a conversation with Nikkita Oliver, hosted by Matika Wilbur and Dr. Dr. Desi. Nikkita is a scholar and activist who works at the intersection of arts, law and education. They have supported social justice efforts from No DAPL (No Dakota Access Pipeline) to working in the CHOP/CHAZ (Capitol Hill Occupied Protest/ Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) during the racial justice movements after the murder of George Floyd.This discussion centers the importance of the collective power that Black Peoples and Indigenous Peoples have to change the systems that support racialized capitalism and oppression. We talk about real world solutions that activists and organizers like Nikkita are taking to actualize empowered Black and Native futures. We know and reiterate that our stories are intertwined and it is possible to work towards shared collective futures.Resources mentioned in the episode:Website for Nikkita Oliver3 Pillars Of White Supremacy Support the showPlease consider becoming a Patreon subscriberFollow us on Instagram+++Thanks to the AMR team that worked on this episode: Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower, Darrien Camarillo, Jamie Marquez-BratcherThank you to Ciara Sana from Art By Ciara  for our amazing episode artwork. #AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcast #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #afroindigenousSupport the show

Buckle up for a deep, DEEP dive with multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter Will "Young Blood" Evans. We dig in to Will's early years growing up in New England. He reflects on catching the music bug at his first solo acoustic performance, how Dispatch influenced his decision to go to college in Vermont, his band Barefoot Truth, how being a father affects his songwriting, and we share war stories from our Europe tour in 2010.

Back in 2020, after the murder of George Floyd and during the Black Lives Matter uprisings that followed, All My Relations started a journey to support the Black community and Afro Indigenous relatives through having conversations on police brutality, anti-blackness, Indian Country's connection to chattel slavery, and Afro-Indigenous history. This first episode in the series features an interview with Harvard professor Tiya Miles. Professor Miles is a scholar, historian, and writer whose work explores the intersections of African American, Native American and women's histories. With Dr. Miles, we focus specifically on the history and structure of Black and Native interconnection. Through the lens of early Cherokee interactions with Black people, we talk about Black and Indigenous peoples first relationships that were shaped in a settler colonial landscape. We talk about how some southeastern Tribes like the Cherokee bent to colonial standards and acted in ways antithetical to Indigenous values by owning enslaved Africans, and how this legacy of pain and abuse has effects today for the descendants of those who were enslaved, and our communities as a whole. We touch on current conversations around the recognition of Freedmen Descendants by the Five Tribes. Our stories are intertwined, and we need to examine the past to determine how best to more forward. +++ Resources mentioned in the episode:Website for Dr. Miles: TiyaMiles.com The Cherokee Nation has put out a call for freedmen descendants to share cultural artifacts, family photos, and other memorabilia for an exhibit:  Call for Freedmen DescendantsCreek Freedmen descendants have a gofundme to raise funds to support the community and legal efforts to gain recognition: GoFundMeDr. Keene made a reading list on my blog two years ago on Anti-Blackness in the Cherokee Nation, which has a wide range of academic and non-academic resources on the topic: Dr. Keene's Reading List#AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcast #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #afroindigenousSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/amrpodcast)

We're back for what might be the most chaotic episode yet! join us for our discussion of Son of A Trickster by Eden Robinson. Attempting to summarize this book is an exercise in futility (you'll understand when you hear k try to give an on-the-fly synopsis…). While this book can get categorized as YA (the protagonist, Jared, is 15-16), there is a lot of explicit violence, so it would be better for a mature teen reader or adults. Content warning for discussions of self-harm, suicide attempt, familial abuse, drug use, and alcoholism. This book was chosen by our wonderful Patreon patron Grey! They are fantastic and wonderful.

It's found about halfway through episode 2 where she says, “If you're making goals that you're going to see in your lifetime, then you're not dreaming big enough.”https://www.allmyrelationspodcast.com/podcast/episode/32c173eb/ep-2-food-sovereignty-a-growing-movement

Here's a snippet: “Consider Harriet Tubman's standards for white friends and collaborators. The only officer in the Union Army she trusted enough to collaborate with on the Combahee Uprising had ridden with John Brown on Harper's Ferry. She refused to meet with Abraham Lincoln (even when he sent a special invitation for her to visit the White House through SOJOURNER TRUTH!) because she could see that he wavered on his commitment to Black freedom and she felt he had used her people as a pawn. She had standards. And these standards came out of necessity. For years Harriet Tubman was a fugitive. The ONLY white people she could safely associate with were people who were willing to use their privilege to literally stand between her and the law. They were active abolitionists who had already decided it was worthwhile to risk their lives, standing and livelihood in the service of Black freedom. She could not afford to be anywhere near white people who had not yet made their decision to live and die for her freedom and our collective freedom. She could not risk her life to politically educate them. She had to KNOW they were on the freedom side.” Recommended further reading/listening All My Relations (podcast) by Matika Wilbur and Adrienne Keene.

MINNESOTA NATIVE NEWS: AMERICAN INDIAN MONTH KICKS OFF IN THE STATE, SHIFTS EVENTS DUE TO PANDEMICThis week on Minnesota Native News, it's May, and the 51st American Indian Month has kicked off in Minnesota! But this year… things are going to be celebrated a bit differently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's reporter Cole Premo with how the month will be celebrated this year -- and more.ROBERT (:30): “It is an honor to welcome you all to the Indian Month celebration”That's White Earth Ojibwe Nation's Robert Lilligren, the CEO of the Native American Community Development Institute, or NACDI… NACDI has helped organize past parades celebrating the month, typically held on May 1 in Minneapolis. Of course, the coronavirus pandemic changed that.Instead, Lilligren kicked off a month of celebration with a live Facebook video on May 1.ROBERT (0:40): “Our theme this year is, ‘We are still here -- honor life.' And things are very different this year then they've been in the past...we only care about what we look like from the waist up.”American Indian Month in Minnesota goes back to 1969, when it was just a week-long event. It began as an effort from the native community to change the way native history was taught in school.ROBERT: 2:10 “This year, we'll be celebrating in different ways… we'll be online.”Minnesota's Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan also helped kick off the month on May 1, echoing the month's theme and reminding those of another important issue at hand.PEGGY (0:42): “Native people are here and will be here… it's important as ever to make sure we're counted by taking part in the census…chi-miigwech.”As NACDI's Robert Lilligren said earlier, many activities have shifted online this year and a full month of events are planned. Part of those online events are being facilitated with Twin Cities community radio station KFAI. I spoke with KFAI personality and Leech Laker, Melissa Olson, who talked to me about the special programming and how plans shifted due to the pandemic.MELISSA: (03:23) it was a shift for us too, because usually we just covered parade on May 1st. We have one entire day of programming. Right. We do it from like eight until midnight. Well, obviously we can't cover the parade. It's not happening. Um, so Kathy, I contact committee, um, just you know, out a month ago, I said, what if we spread programming throughout the month?Things are getting planned and situated still, but special programming will run on Mondays and Saturdays during the afternoons. On Mondays, part of the focus will be “open houses”... basically giving native organizations who would have normally held an open house during the month… to have a voice on radio and online that day. Some of the participants will be the Minesota Fund and Dream of Wild Health.Saturdays will be more focused on current affairs, as well as arts and culture. Topics will include census mobilization, health issues.. And on May 23rd, there'll be a “memorial program.”MELISSA: (07:50)“Talk about, um, relatives we've lost during the pandemic and to the pandemic. Um, and the idea is that because people can't gather for wakes and funerals, but it might be appropriate to memorialize, um, family members and relatives that have been lost during this time so that people, um, are able to memorialize in their own ways at home if they listen.”On the same day, the 23rd of May, they'll feature an “All My Relations” panel for artists who were going to showcase their work at the All My Relations gallery… that has been canceled due to the pandemic. The talk will also include, according to Melissa Olson…MELISSA: “To some degree on how cancellation due to COVID-19 impacts artists.”A lot of information on events happening during American Indian Month in Minnesota can be found on Facebook. Check out the American Indian Month in MN 2020 Facebook page AND the American Indian Month on KFAI Facebook page for the latest events happening during the month.MELISSA :“I think it's how native people lead in this moment, right? … ”So, I asked Melissa Olson, and yes, these radio events will be live streamed on Facebook, too, if you'd like to get involved, leave comments and connect with the presenters -- that's there for ya.BIIDAAPI MUSIC PLAYSAND…. before this Minnesota Native News episode concludes, I'd like to remind listeners that Minnesota Native News has a new podcast series, called Native Lights: Biidaapi. My sister, Leah Lemm, and I catch up with those in the native community… finding connection during these social/physical distancing times. We've spoke with Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Ojibwe Word of the Day's James Vukelich, author Marcie Rendon, and many, many more great individuals already, and we're keeping it going during the pandemic. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.Not only that… we also recently released the second season of Native Lights: Where Indigenous Voices Shine. We're so excited. Our second season is filled with amazing guests, telling their stories about finding their gifts and sharing them with the community. These are stories of joy, strength, history, and change from Native people who are shaping the future and honoring those who came before them.Check that out AND Native Lights: Biidaapi. Go ahead, binge it! We won't judge.Miigwech. I'm Cole Premo.

Kanyon Sayers-Roods "Coyote Woman"  (Mutsun-Ohlone, Chumash, EuroMutt) is a two-spirit steward of Indian Canyon, an artist, activist and educator. Kanyon teaches truth in history and envisioning indigenous futures to diverse audiences. Kanyon's work has been featured at the De Young Museum, SOMArts Gallery, Gathering Tribes and many indigenous powwows and gatherings. Episode Highlights Kanyon shares how she first started her business, Kanyon Konsulting, to provide education on decolonization and reindigenization for non-native people, particularly in the Ohlone territory (San Francisco Bay Area, California). Kanyon helps us understand what it means to do the work of decolonization and reindiginization. She shares about the practice and importance of land acknowledgement and recognition. We also talk about the practice of offering “land tax” donations to help native peoples get land back. Kanyon shares why it is important and helpful to get familiar with the native peoples in your own territory. We break down the label of “two-spirit” and other labels native folks use to talk about their queer experience.
