Podcasts about indigenous first nation

This was a genocide. It took a lot of courage for the Pope to come out with the word genocide. It's a powerful statement, but now we need progression. We need to build a pathway forward.  Does the fact the Pope has come out mean that what happened can no longer be denied though? A way forward too is to keep talking about it, keep exploring the harsh truths, to be open about what happened. The problem won't go away, it is part of all our histories.  Bruce, who listens from Tampa, Florida, USA, certainly opens a can of worms with this question he's sent in for discussion: “Have you explored on the podcast that the Pope has said the treatment of Indigenous First Nation children, by the Catholic Church, amounts to genocide?” In the last century, a lot of children were forcibly taken from indigenous first nation indian cultures in the US, and settled with white, English speaking families, or put in homes run by the Catholic church. Seemingly with the aim of diluting the influence and power of the first nation cultures.  Many of the children's remains are now being discovered inside and outside these homes, so this can certainly be considered genocide. Genocide is a very powerful statement. There are good people in history though, and there are bad people. There's some good history, there's some bad history. It's easy to have vitriol against something, and you can turn yourself inside out and into a rabid dog about such things, but does that anger truly solve the issues fully? Speak to the person in front of you, see them as a human being, and see where the conversation goes. No issue in history has ever failed to ultimately be resolved by people coming together and discussing the harsh truths. That's what's needed here, well that's what your co-hosts feel. Some of the most celebrated American celebrities are deeply rooted indigenous cultures, so let's keep talking and valuing those different to us. What do you make of this discussion?

Kevin Schot is a Norse-Gael descendant of the "Great Heathen Army" that settled in Scotland in the 800s. Kevin works purely for environmental and social regeneration and rehabilitation, as well as being a strong ally for Indigenous First Nation rights and reconciliation. At home in Sweden, he took on the struggle to follow original dreaming and build Scandinavia's first full scale Earthship by hand (completely sustainable home invented by architect Michael Reynolds in Taos New Mexico) and is on track to design and manifest the North's smallest ecological footprint for a family. He intends working in the same way for other families on completion of this after years of cold climate sustainability/regenerative research. After receiving a double certificate from Matt Powers "Advanced Permaculture Student Online" (APSO), he offers Design and Consultation services by donation, to his nonprofit organization "The Medicine Ways Co-operative" based in Sweden. The work continues today toward completing the Earthship known as the "Midgård Blackship" and has a YouTube channel following the progress called "Babble from the Bubble." Kevin is a determined voice against colonialism, imperialism, white supremacy, slavery and the predatory form of invasive capitalism in the world.

Melaney is a Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm)/Nanoose, Snaw’naw’as woman who, from birth, was fostered out and then adopted into a White settler family during the 60s scoop. Later in her life, Melaney reconnected to her Indigenous culture, wisdom, family and way of life and now holds a unique and powerful position as a bridge between worlds and cultures - the 'Western' and her traditional Indigenous ways of living and being. When I met Melaney at a Work That Reconnects workshop on Bowen Island, we didn't share many words, but were immersed in a deep group process moving through ecological grief, and showing vulnerability with one another as we allowed our truths and personal pain over the state of our post-colonial, neoliberal, extractivist economy and culture to surface. Melaney led our entire group of over 20 people through the KAIROS Blanket Exercise - "a unique, participatory history lesson – developed in collaboration with Indigenous Elders, knowledge keepers and educators – that fosters truth, understanding, respect and reconciliation among Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples" (https://www.kairosblanketexercise.org/). This was a very somatic experience of the atrocities experienced by Indigenous people in Canada. It unzipped me, and took me from knowing about the genocide of Indigenous people on an intellectual level, to feeling it and understanding it on a much deeper more cellular level. Her leadership is powerful and she speaks her truth without fear. A medicine woman - of this, I am certain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀In this conversation, Melaney also touches on what it looks like to be an ally for Indigenous peoples and the value of relationship building and resourcing the Indigenous (First Nation, Metis, Inuit) communities you live alongside. She shares the importance of centering Indigenous cultural revitalization and healing, and how that healing is part of the healing of the whole world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This time and conversation was a gift from the moment I entered Melaney's space, the food she shared with me (I mean, homemade focaccia bread!) to the depth of her sharing, and the warmth that emanated from her deeply wise and truth-telling being.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This is a medicine conversation. I invite you to make some tea, settle in and join us.
