This week, we talk about bioessentialist familial claims, the metaphorical home renovations you need to do if you want to rekindle an intimate relationship with your estranged children, and gay math. Also, Lulav fails to pluralize in a language she doesn't know, and we touch the merest surface of the topic of punishing Jeff Bezos.Transcript available here. The podcast otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, a.k.a. Métis in Space, is hosted by Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel and is on the Indian & Cowboy Podcast Media Network. Listen to it if you wanna hear two ladies make fun of indigenous stereotypes in sci-fi while also building visions of indigenous futurism.We also reference the books Catfishing on CatNet by Naomi Kritzer, Piranesi and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family by Sophia Lewis, Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters, and Watership Down by Richard Adams. We read a lot of disparate books, and also feel fine talking about books we haven't read but have simply osmoted via social media or other podcasts! You can buy at least some of those books (probably all of them, if you order ahead of time) at Next Chapter Booksellers in Minneapolis, where Lulav's friend Em works, and you can follow Em on Twitter @eudaemaniacal. This week's reading is Isaiah 49:14–51:3. Next week's haftarah reading would be Isaiah 54:11–55:5, but we already read that whole selection for Episode 52, so to avoid repeating ourselves and boring you, we're going to be talking about Shabbat selections like the kiddush, the amidah, and Lecha Dodi.  Support us on Patreon or Ko-fi! Our music is by the band Brivele. This week, our audio was edited by Ezra Faust, and our transcript was written by JJ Jensen, who you can follow on Twitter @pantspossum.

Today we bring you the first installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. This is a shortened version of the Calls to Action, a complete version of which - as it appears in the Executive Summary - will be released later this summer. These are the 94 specific calls to action which the TRC called for and it is essential reading/listening for settlers on this land we now call Canada. If you want to learn about how the 94 Calls to Action have and have not been implemented since the TRC Report, please check out resources here. This is a project we will be unveiling throughout the summer of 2021, thanks in no small part to the many people who offered to volunteer to guest read. We will be providing a podcast format version of the entire Executive Summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report, in addition to other TRC content.

Transcript available here.This episode sets off our mini season within a season in which we unpack issues facing Indigenous communities in Canada. In this first episode, we're breaking down the first chapter of Chelsea Vowel's formative book, Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis & Inuit Issues in Canada , "The Terminology of Relationships". We discuss issues around language, some of the nuances of naming, and what we as non-Indigenous folk need to consider in our language use when referring to Indigenous peoples.  Resources:Chelsea Vowel's blog: https://apihtawikosisan.com Whose territory are you on? https://native-land.ca Adrienne Keene's blog: http://nativeappropriations.com Other Indigenous scholars to read: Kim TallBear, Zoe S.

Bid adieu to 2020, that hell year, and kick off Season 6 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk with Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel as they review "Recipe For Seduction," a 15-minute KFC and Lifetime mini-movie featuring "a young heiress struggling to choose between a wealthy suitor chosen by her mother, and the new house chef Harland Sanders." Somehow this also involves a lot of discussion about the work of trophy wives, and comparisons to various Star Trek series.

Writer/director Jeff Barnaby sat down with discussant Chelsea Vowel and Moderator Tyler Morgenstern to discuss his subversive zombie plague film, Blood Quantum. This discussion explored how the film took the contagion narrative and flipped it on its head. The speakers explored how the film confronts the violent history of Canadian settler-colonialism through its thoughtful use of genre, language, and narrative.

In this pandemic hell year 2020 season interlude (season 6 coming soon!) of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel provide an exciting update to their Back 2 The Land: 2Land 2Furious project!

In this Season 5 Episode 10 finale of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel finally watch the most requested movie of their existence as podcasting duo - "The Indian in the Cupboard", where "a boy receives a wooden cupboard, antique keys, and an Iroquois warrior figurine for his birthday. The figurine comes to life overnight in the cabinet."

In Season 5 Episode 8 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel introduce the world to one of their many premoirs; a film depicting actual events involving the two intrepid hosts, events which have not yet happened in this timeline. The buddy comedy, "The Spy Who Dumped Me," details the adventures Molly and Chelsea will have in Europe once this pandemic is finally over. They also discuss dicks and full frontal nudity of all sorts for a really, really long time.

In Season 5 Episode 9 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain, Chelsea Vowel, and guest Daisy "Shania" Swain, review Jeff Barnaby's "Blood Quantum" where "the dead are coming back to life outside the isolated Mi'kmaq reserve of Red Crow, except for its Indigenous inhabitants who are strangely immune to the zombie plague." Atmospheric background noise (actually Molly's computer fan as her laptop gives up the ghost) adds annoying ambiance to this episode, making listeners want to rake jagged nails across their ears, but no amount of filters could get rid of it. Feel free to buy us a laptop for the show if you hate the awful damn buzzing.

In Season 5 Episode 7 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Chelsea Vowel and Molly Swain reject all copaganda in favour of cops and Nazis getting smashed up by The Blues Brothers. Part 2 of a 2 part special pandemic interlude, your intrepid hosts showcase their Favourite Movie of All Time time time. Just over two hours focusing on Chelsea's love of The Blues Brothers. Extra EXTRA heretical (despite getting the Vatican seal of approval), more F-bombs than usual get dropped, maybe as many as the cop cars that get smashed in this film, so beware, this episode is NOT for the faint of heart!

In Season 5 Episode 6 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Chelsea Vowel and Molly Swain put the otipêyimisiw in "their own bosses" and toss away the imaginary limitations of genre. Part 1 of a 2 part special pandemic interlude, your intrepid hosts showcase their Favourite Movie of All Time time time. This extra verbose 2 hour episode focuses on Molly's love of Jesus Christ Superstar. Extra heretical, blasphemous, and scatological, this episode is not for the faint of heart.

In Season 5 Episode 5 of otipêyimsiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Chelsea Vowel, Molly Swain, and special guest Wyatt "Put A Fiddle On It" Schiefelbein review The Neverending Story, where, "A troubled boy dives into a wondrous fantasy world through the pages of a mysterious book."

An Interview with Chelsea Vowel and Molly Swain, hosts of Métis in Space to chat about storytelling in the podcasting medium.

Chelsea Vowell, author of the book Indigenous Writes, activist, and language teacher joins us for a conversation about learning and teaching Cree. From the mechanics of teaching language, through what language itself means for culture and community we talk about the process of learning and teaching. The ways in which we teach, whether it is language or ceremony, must be ways that draw people in, that are safe spaces. Because if these spaces are violent and people don't feel welcome, then what are we doing? transcript available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1COoW2I0kGD7PprQDW2-Ne4DW2-UEvXN_/view?usp=sharing

It’s ending with volume 25, and I’m kind of sad about that. The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye (2016) by Sonny Liew Despite really liking this, I don’t think it should have won the Eisner for “Best U.S. Edition of International Material - Asia” The Private Eye (2015) by Brian K.

As we enter sci-fi blockbuster season, we reached out to Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel, hosts of the Métis in Space podcast. We talked about the colonial politics of mainstream science fiction, how they're pushing back against it, and the importance of envisioning decolonial futures. [This episode was recorded on November 27th]

In this episode of Stories From The Land we are blessed with a story from Chelsea Vowel, a Metis woman from Lac St. Anne, AB. In this story Chelsea shares the story of a her families war on a family of skunks during one of the coldest winters in memory. Sometimes we have to venture out on the land to learn about ourselves, but sometimes the land comes to us to teach us about ourselves.

In this episode of Red Man Laughing we sit down with Metis Lawyer, Educator, mother & ass kicker - Chelsea Vowel. From the Lac St. Anne Metis community in Alberta, Chelsea is based out of Montreal and is currently running a Cree Language Immersion program (http://sakihitowinlearning.ca/) and is the owner of the Apihtawikosisan website - an incredible tool for all things Indigenous in Canada. Chelsea's website was integral to the reeducation of the mainstream when it came to Indigenous Issues in Canada at the height of Idle No More (it still is integral, work with me here) and her work has been published by Indigenous and mainstream publications alike. In this featured chat we talk about her website going from 300 hits a month to 100 000 hits in a day and what kind of crazy responsibility that was to take on and the blowback that came with it. We talk about language immersion, relearning our languages and the struggle that comes with that. We work through obstacles around Indigenous Feminism and why Settler Femisism tends to bump heads with women from our communities, AND, finally - we talk about raising kids in an Urban environment and the types of specific challenges that presents through our kids' educations and our own sense of responsibility to our children as parents in the Indigenous context.
