Indigenous cuisine can serve as a form of resistance against colonial food systems. Cooking is not just about nutrition; it's about familial relationships and connection to the land. Restoring indigenous knowledge requires making it accessible and engaging for all. Approachability in indigenous cuisine encourages more people to try new ingredients. Experimenting with wild foods opens up a new world of culinary possibilities. Indigenous food systems are diverse and abundant, offering unique ingredients. Community engagement is essential for the revival of traditional food practices. Food was historically used by colonial governments to control indigenous peoples. The loss of food sovereignty has led to a loss of political power for indigenous communities. Food education is essential for promoting healthier eating habits. Connecting with nature through foraging can enhance well-being. Podcasts serve as a modern platform for sharing knowledge and culture.

In the thirteenth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar interacts with Dr. Archana Purushottam about the Gurukul model of education and how the Indian Knowledge Systems can naturally lead to pedagogical systems that facilitate comprehensive teaching and learning. Bharat underwent colonization on multiple fronts at the hands of successive imperialist powers - political and economic primarily, but also on the intellectual front. A major way that this was effectuated was using the two-pronged approach: firstly, by demolishing indigenous Bharatiya institutions of wisdom and education, such as Nalanda and Vikramshila, and secondly promoting foreign value s and ideas as the foundation of a `progressive' education model, such as done by the likes of Macaulay. In an increasingly polarized world, the comprehensiveness and cosmopolitanism of Bharatiya knowledge generation and dissemination may just be the need of the hour, with a vision for the future rooted in the civilizational heritage of Bharat.

Historians have tended to view the Cold War as a global ideological confrontation between an expansionist communist Soviet Union and a capitalist United States which sought to contain communism. And this confrontation was fought out by their proxies in the Third World. But in recent years, a new generation of scholars, many of them from Asian countries that were “hot” battlegrounds for the Cold War, have rethought this paradigm. They give much more agency to local political actors, pursuing local political agendas.  In her provocative new book, Indigenizing the Cold War: The Border Patrol Police and Nation-Building in Thailand (U Hawaii Press, 2023), Sinae Hyun argues that in the case of Thailand, local political elites skillfully used the Cold War to achieve their own political ends. The book is a case study of Thailand's Border Patrol Police, a unit which was initially set up with the assistance of the CIA, and which later developed a close relationship with the Thai monarchy. Besides promoting anti-communism, the Border Patrol Police played a key role in nation-building in the rural regions of the country. The Border Patrol Police is also notorious for its involvement in the massacre of leftist students at Thammasat University on October 6, 1976.

But in recent years, a new generation of scholars, many of them from Asian countries that were “hot” battlegrounds for the Cold War, have rethought this paradigm. They give much more agency to local political actors, pursuing local political agendas.  In her provocative new book, Indigenizing the Cold War: The Border Patrol Police and Nation-Building in Thailand (U Hawaii Press, 2023), Sinae Hyun argues that in the case of Thailand, local political elites skillfully used the Cold War to achieve their own political ends. The book is a case study of Thailand's Border Patrol Police, a unit which was initially set up with the assistance of the CIA, and which later developed a close relationship with the Thai monarchy. Besides promoting anti-communism, the Border Patrol Police played a key role in nation-building in the rural regions of the country. The Border Patrol Police is also notorious for its involvement in the massacre of leftist students at Thammasat University on October 6, 1976.

Right now we are being called to embrace our ancestral roots and shape a collective identity that respects the past, embodies indigenous hospitality, and kindles the light of cultural awakening, all with a steadfast commitment to nurturing a world fit for our future generations. As we build a stronger community rooted in the ancient wisdom of indigenous cultures, we emerge as stewards of the Earth, embracing uncertainty, and fostering a world in which our ancestors would be proud to see their legacy carried forward. This week, we hosted Kale Ka'alekahi, a cultural innovator, spiritual activist, visionary, and storyteller. From his roots in Hawaii, Kale possesses the ability to bridge ancestral wisdom with modern challenges, fostering a profound connection to the environment and the human spirit. You won't want to miss this electrifying episode that offers a unique perspective of what it means to be human.   Quotes: "We live in a society that does not offer our young ones rites of passage and initiations into adulthood. And we also do not offer them guidance." – Kale Ka'alekahi "We have history, that's why genealogy is important. We already know what has happened, and we're facing our future." – Kale Ka'alekahi "People who came from people is the extent of generation. It's dimensional, spiraling, not just a circle. It's informed as human beings by the animal or the plant, and then they shape to it." – Kale Ka'alekahi "Let's not disrupt what nature already wants to do. That's inherently part of why we exist. Rather than continuously taking from that, we want to give back into it so that the loop closes, that feedback loop closes." – Kale Ka'alekahi "Water is the earth, water is human, water is nature, and it's not municipal." - Dr. Stanton Hom   Key Takeaways: Understanding and honoring your ancestral heritage is crucial for building a better future. Connect with your roots, as they provide the foundation for who you are and what you can become. Traditional wisdom and practices are not outdated. They offer timeless lessons that can be integrated into modern life. Embrace the old ways and make them relevant to the present. Embrace the idea of regeneration, revitalization, and indigenization. These concepts can help you restore and rejuvenate your connection to your heritage and the world around you. Recognize the need for regeneration and composting old ideas of permanence. Understand that there is a cultural awakening taking place, and it requires a collective willingness to evolve and change. Reflect on the consequences of human actions on the environment. Recognize that mismanagement of natural resources can lead to severe and long-lasting impacts on both the land and the people. Act as a bridge between the past and present, bringing forward the wisdom and traditions of ancestors and applying them to create a vision for the future. It's about evolving without losing touch with your roots.   Highlights/Timeline: [5:28] How can cultural revitalization and indigenous knowledge play a role in creating a better future? [12:17] How important is decolonization, adopting indigenous perspectives, and unlearning harmful practices? [16:51] How does Kale balance rationality and emotional intelligence for a more harmonious future? [24:19] What is the importance of women's health and understanding the moon cycle for our well-being? [27:52] What is the significance of cultural awakening and grieving for lost traditions in our journey forward? [36:40] How do issues related to indigenous identity, colonization, and hospitality affect the prospects of a better future? [41:58] What does Kale see in Hawaii's history, colonization, and environmental impact in shaping how we approach our future? [48:11] How can we address water scarcity by drawing from indigenous knowledge and practices? [52:14] What role does indigenous knowledge play in disaster preparedness and resilience? [58:03] How can redefining masculinity and fostering a sense of community contribute to shaping a better future? [1:04:12] What does Kale offer to embrace uncertainty and connect more deeply with the natural world as we look to the future?   Conclusion: Cultural revival and the need to grieve for lost traditions lead us to a deeper understanding of who we are and the world we want to create. It is a call to action, a reminder to appreciate the wisdom of our ancestors, and a motivation to nurture the world for future generations. Embark on a path of healing, regeneration, and resilience, embracing the challenges and uncertainties that lie ahead as we craft a future rooted in cultural richness, environmental stewardship, and interconnectedness.   Resources: Learn more about Kale Ka'alekahi on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kale.kaalekahi/?hl=en  Website: https://www.kalekaalekahi.com/    Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/  Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast: Instagram: @futuregenpodcast, @thefuturegensd and @drstantonhom_ Facebook: Future Generations Podcast and Future Generations | Clinic of Chiropractic Website: Future Generations | Clinic of Chiropractic If you would like to learn more about the truth behind the pandemic, please check out The End of C0V1D.  Click the link to sign up: https://theendofcovid.com/ref/352/    Get the Heart of Freedom III Replay here: https://hof3replay.thefuturegen.com/hof3recording Join the Future Generations Community here: https://community.thefuturegen.com   Remember to Rate, Review and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify Follow us on Instagram: @futuregenpodcast   San Diego area residents, take advantage of our special New Patient offer exclusively for podcast listeners here.

In today's transmission, Zahara connects with her friend, the author, ceremonialist, and child of magic, Christine Olivia. After losing her father at a young age, Christine felt that she had lost a part of herself that she would never be able to connect with again—her indigeneity. After discovering Mayan cacao from Guatemala, paralleled with the ceremonial use of other traditional plant medicines, Christine began reuniting with her own heart and ancestry. In this episode, Christine shares how she's continuing to use magic, cacao and sensuality to heal herself and the world at large.In this episode of The Dojo:Christine's process of reclaiming her indigenous rootsOwning her sense of sensuality despite criticism from elder indigenous folksMaking intentional tantrums a part of her emotional process The freedom granted when we let go of attachment to the outcomeContinuing the tradition of extracting the magic of cacao in its purest formConnect with Christine:Instagram: @christineolivia_ Website: iamchristineolivia.com Connect with Zahara:Instagram: @zaharazimringThe Dojo IG: @thedojocouncilWebsite: zaharazimring.comEmail: zahara@zaharazimring.com Sign up for The Dojo ImmersedThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

The passage of the Indian Child Welfare Act in 1978 was an important step in repairing the harm done to Indian families for centuries before. As ICWA now faces a challenge in the Supreme Court, we hear from two indigenous advocates, Ann Haines Holy Eagle and Melissa Sampson-Grier, about the history behind this legislation and the ongoing trauma experienced by indigenous families because of the lack of accountability in child welfare systems. They call on us to pivot beyond just acknowledging the history of harm – and move towards open truth-telling about the impacts on families today and shared commitments to re-indigenize communities through community-based efforts like the Wolves Den. They remind us that true prevention requires that we share power and listen to those who are directly impacted by the policies and practices we implement. Learn next steps you can take to pivot in this direction.https://www.icwlc.org/

In this episode, we welcome back Lorcan MacGiolla Bhrighde and Helen Henderson, collaborators on Indigenous Ireland.In this episode, Luis, Lorcan, and Helen discuss what it means not just to decolonize, i.e. remove constructs of colonization, but to re-indigenize their lives, i.e. reintegrate elements of their indigeneity.The three of them share how immersing themselves in indigenous languages and folklore has supported their journey to re-indigenizing. Similarly, they share the impact of re-indigenizing in their lives such as an appreciation and awareness of the balance of femininity and masculinity, a greater sense of connection to humans and other-than-human beings, the ability to find beauty in death, expanding from just biological relationship to social relationships, and gleaning wisdom from the seasons as to how to best support their bodies.

Crystal Worl is fresh off of two big projects. A mural in downtown Anchorage and a commission for Google. The mural depicts and applies traditional Alaska Native traditions and symbols — the formline art of the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian, for example. It's 120-feet long, the largest thing she's ever designed. The Google skin, titled “Primary Ravens,” depicts ravens, which represent the Creator and are always playing tricks. What she likes most about these pieces is that they're public. They don't belong to just one person, they belong to the communities that they're made for. So, anyone has access to them. Both designs utilize traditional and modern techniques, something Crystal makes a point of combining in her work, and they're part of a larger idea to indigenize public spaces. Crystal says that having her murals displayed downtown is significant because that's where people come together. It's where locals hang out, do business, have dinner, and it's where visitors are often introduced to Alaska. In many ways, art helps us understand a city, the land and the history of both. She says that the art of formline can help us understand the future of Alaska. It can help us visualize and plan for the future of a state that reflects our ideals and our values. Her mentor, Haida artist Robert Davidson, taught her about the power of visualization. He told her to focus on the end goal, not the process because so many things will test your strength along the way, so it's important to be persistent. To imagine herself standing in front of the finished piece and celebrating it.

Good Fire podcast is back! This is a bonus episode where we get to listen to the very knowledgeable, very passionate, and very engaged Bhiamie Williamson. We talk about cultural fire in Australia and the difference between western and Indigenous perspectives on fire, and our relationship to it. Episode highlightIn this podcast, Bhiamie Williamson discusses the connection of Indigenous peoples to the land, and how cultural burning is a way to preserve the environment and cultural heritage.

He studied environmental and political sciences at university, and discovered the benefits of cultural burning. Land is at the center of healing (11.26)Bhiamie points out that fire plays an important role in Indigenous healing practices. Cultural burning can also prevent wildfires, thus preventing the trauma of losing ancestral lands.Sharing the load (19.04)Bhiamie has written an article that has inspired governments and agencies to provide trauma-informed support to Aboriginal peoples after natural disasters.The land is a living museum (24.42)Bhiamie informs that Aboriginal peoples have connections to land, and the animals, trees, stones, and petroglyphs are all part of the cultural heritage. “The best form of protecting is prevention” (30.22)Bhiamie recommends engaging Indigenous peoples in emergency management and prevention conversations which can help in high-pressure conditions. “Think ahead and be happy to be unsettled” (38.37)Bhiamie comments on the impacts of colonization and “centuries of oppression”, and the need to overturn it. True reconciliation (46.59)Bhiamie expresses his preference to have Indigenous peoples design their own emergency management programs across different lands in Australia.Children of the future (59.19)A majority of the Aboriginal population is young, which brings up the need to provide educational and developmental support along with family and social support. “It's just not good enough to ignore us anymore” (1.02.37)Bhiamie observes that even when Indigenous peoples are invited to share their opinion, they are marginalized, with tokenized opportunities that contain the impact they can have. Indigenizing masculinity (1.08.41)Bhiamie's Ph.D. research is on Indigenous men and masculinity, exploring masculinity from an Indigenous perspective. “You can call that decolonization, I just call that common sense” (1.14.13)In Bhiamie's opinion, the first step to decolonization is to employ Indigenous peoples in senior roles. Land justice and repossession by Indigenous peoples, as well as cultural burning to manage climate change, are the next steps.

As a last generation Colombian, her upbringing under the 7 Train in Queens, NYC, was mostly in Spanish. As with many Central, South American and Caribbean countries, both of her Grandmothers were influential and always had a plant for every ailment. From very young, Johanna's passion was creating. Her drive and determination lead her to graduate with a BFA from Parsons School of Design, only a couple months before Sept. 11. This global event would not only change the course of history but also propel her freelance design career into a full service branding studio with clients like Time Inc., CUNY, Afropunk, Department of Education, HighTimes and Sony Japan. In 2008, during the collapse of the housing bubble which led to the Great Recession, she closed up her design studio and decided to travel the world with her then partner SirRoan. These travels very synchronistically turned into studies of sacred plant medicine, Ayurveda & Curanderismo with different masters from Brazil to New Mexico to heal personal emotional traumas. Johanna has also received certification in Reiki Level 2, Integrated Energy Technique Advanced , a Wasteskun Meztli Canada Moon Dancer and a Vision Quester in Atlantida, Colombia.

150 years after Congress established Yellowstone National Park, it remains the jewel of a system that comprises some 400 national parks. But for Indigenous Americans, the history is bitter. Thousands were forced to leave, families were massacred, and the Army was brought in to exclude Native Americans. Today, as droughts, floods and fires threaten the parks, many are calling for Indigenous control. Indigenizing the National Parks wouldn't just be morally and legally right, but it just might be what saves the parks for future generations. Wes Martel of the Eastern Shoshone, and Valerie Grussing, Executive Director of the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers — fill Laura in on a recent Inter-Tribal Gathering that examined this question. And we'll hear closing remarks and a water prayer from Faith Spotted Eagle of Yankton Sioux Nation. Should non-Indigenous people even go to Yellowstone? Laura asks, and what do Indigenous people want for the future?“We're in this together for reconciliation and healing. When one of us isn't whole, then none of us are whole. It impacts all of us — the healing that needs to happen to address generational trauma.” - Valerie Grussing“We must let people know we're still here. We're going to be here forever. And we want our rightful place in this, this country's economic and social picture.” - Wes MartelGuests:Valerie Grussing, Executive Director, National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation OfficersWes Martel, Eastern Shoshone/Northern Arapaho; Senior Wind River Conservation Associate, Greater Yellowstone Coalition-Ft.

An all-Native send-up of the Tony Award-winning musical-turned-hit-movie “Grease” is connecting with audiences in Canada and playing in selected theaters in the U.S. “Bear Grease” is the brainchild of Crystle Lightning (Cree) and MC RedCloud (Huichol), a husband and wife hip-hop duo who go by the name Lightning Cloud. It's a follow-up to their “hip-hopera” “Dr. Sioux's The Neech Who Stole Christmas.” With songs like “Boarding School Dropout”, this is not the nearly all-white musical depicting the fun-loving 50s era. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce talks with MC RedCloud as well as Nipîy Iskwew (Cree and Beaver First Nation), fashion designer, entrepreneur, and performer, and Teneil Whiskeyjack (Cree), artist, playwright, and entrepreneur who plays Marty in the show, about Indigenizing the classic plot, lyrics, and fashion of “Grease”.

True reconciliation (46.59)Bhiamie expresses his preference to have Indigenous peoples design their own emergency management programs across different lands in Australia.Children of the future (59.19)A majority of the Aboriginal population is young, which brings up the need to provide educational and developmental support along with family and social support. “It's just not good enough to ignore us anymore” (1.02.37)Bhiamie observes that even when Indigenous peoples are invited to share their opinion, they are marginalized, with tokenized opportunities that contain the impact they can have. Indigenizing masculinity (1.08.41)Bhiamie's Ph.D. research is on Indigenous men and masculinity, exploring masculinity from an Indigenous perspective. “You can call that decolonization, I just call that common sense” (1.14.13)In Bhiamie's opinion, the first step to decolonization is to employ Indigenous peoples in senior roles. Land justice and repossession by Indigenous peoples, as well as cultural burning to manage climate change, are the next steps.

From Muppets to movies to musicals, meet Indigenous people who are braiding together mainstream and Indigenous stories DerRic Starlight always loved the Muppets, so much so that he learned all the voices – and then some. Today, the comedian and puppeteer performs over 500 voices, including those of the Nuppets, an Indigenous cast of characters based on people from the Tsuut'tina First Nation reserve. Carol Anne and Tom Johnson first made headlines when their Mi'kmaq overdubbing of the Dreamworks film, Chicken Run, took off. Fast forward to today and the couple cannot keep up with the demand for translation and overdubbing services. That's why they're creating a studio in Eskasoni, Nova Scotia to encourage others in their community to get involved with this unique form of language revitalization. Think poodle skirts but also ribbon skirts. Think doo-wop but also hip-hop. A Cree couple in Edmonton, Alberta is giving Grease the Musical an Indigenous Treaty Six twist with the creation of Bear Grease The Musical. Co-creator, Crystle Lightning, reminds us of the importance of Indigenous storytelling that focuses on humour and having fun.
