Podcasts about indigenous youth

We sit down with Patrick Lucas, founder and director of the Indigenous Youth Mountain Bike Program, to unpack how riding and trail building can become a doorway to confidence, health, and a renewed relationship with the land. What starts as kids building “stupid looking jumps” turns into something much larger: community-designed trails, youth skills training, and outdoor spaces that people actually use every day. Patrick shares what he's learned about consent and respect in outdoor recreation, plus the real-world partnership work that trail clubs can do when building on Indigenous territories. We explore surprising outcomes like women-led running groups becoming the biggest trail users, and how schools and community members use the same trails for language learning, harvesting, and wellness. Support the show***********************************************The Bike Sense podcast with Peter Ladner is produced by the BC Cycling Coalition – your voice for safer and more accessible cycling and active transportation in British Columbia.

In 2023 and 2024, four out of six dams on the Klamath River were taken out, in the largest dam removal project in US history. Tribes in the Klamath Basin had been fighting for dam removal for more than a century. This summer, a group of Indigenous youth from multiple tribes made the first descent of the river from its headwaters in Southern Oregon to the Pacific Ocean in Northern California since the dams came out — by kayak. Many of the kayakers had trained for over two years with the program Paddle Tribal Waters.   Jessie Sears, Karuk tribal member and OPB “Oregon Field Guide” producer for Indigenous communities, was there for part of the 300-plus mile, 30-day journey to help document this historic moment. She joins us to talk about the First Descent, how the river has changed, and what it all meant to the Indigenous youth carrying on their ancestors’ work.   -   For more episodes of The Evergreen, and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

What does it mean to reconnect with your river, your culture, and your courage — all through the power of kayaking? In this episode of The Discomfort Zone, I sit down with Ruby Williams, a Quartz Valley tribal member and Kuduk person raised along the banks of the Klamath River in Happy Camp, California. Ruby's paddling journey began in 2022 with Paddle Tribal Waters, and has since taken her from the first full descent of the 310-mile Klamath, to training in Chile, Canada, and Africa. Ruby shares how kayaking has transformed her relationship with fear, taught her the power of choosing her own challenges, and deepened her connection to community, leadership, and her ancestral river.

A group of Native American youth recently completed the first full descent of the Klamath River since the four largest dams on the river were removed last fall. Kayakers traveled more than 300 miles over 30 days on the source-to-sea trip, which was organized by the Paddle Tribal Waters program. Julian Rogers and Kiahna Allen both participated in the trip.

In this episode, we chat with human rights advocate, singer, storyteller, and University of Minnesota-Twin Cities American Studies doctoral student Wakinyan LaPointe. Wakinyan, a Sicangu (Burnt Thigh) Lakota citizen of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, focuses his studies on Indigenous rights, human rights, and youth organizing. He describes how his work with Indigenous young people, Indigenous people across the globe, and water scholars has informed his understanding of how to generate a sustainable future. One strategy he shares is the deepening of Indigenous youth's relationship with their ancestral waterways, which has shown to improve water and land health. For Wakinyan, having his parents share stories and cultural traditions with him during his childhood – spent in Washington, California, and the Rosebud reservation before landing in Minneapolis – was foundational to his understanding of self and the world. Today, Wakinyan uses these teachings and those embedded within the songs he sings to reclaim his time from the “weeds of academia” and establish a healthy grounding to his days.  Tune in for an engaging conversation with one of today's most vibrant, Indigenous artist scholars!

DeShawn Davis is a young environmentalist exploring traditional O'odham Jewedga (O'odham lands) in Southern Arizona. He currently works as a Next Generation Ranger at Saguaro National Park and is also an involved participant in the Eco Truths for Indigenous Youth. His passion for science-based programs and work experiences have provided him with the knowledge and the tools to excel in the STEM world. He also embraces his deep cultural connections and access to ancestral lands. The critical role we have as Native/Indigenous people to protect sacred sights, nature, animals, etc. is important especially when working in the National Park Service; to educate and share historical facts, and cultural perspectives, and update the narrative that local tribes are more than just a chapter in history books, but that we are still here evolving and thriving while still holding on to our cultural inheritance.Recorded: January 2024Background music by: Guustavv “Barranca” and Bomull “älv”For more information about Deshawn's involvement, check out these articles and interviews!Next-generation ranger camphttps://www.nps.gov/sagu/getinvolved/next-generation-ranger-corps.htmEco Truths for Indigenous Youthhttps://ironwoodtreeexperience.org/community/projects/ecotruths-for-indigenous-youth-2/

Sexual violence is often used as a weapon of war. Unfortunately, claims of sexual violence are also used to declare victimhood in the face of legitimate allegations of war crimes, as is the case with Israel. As more and more details emerge from Israel's flimsy reports from October 7th, the issue of mass rape is a glaring example of how those perpetuating genocide weaponize rape claims in order to deflect from their own war crimes, some of which include sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners.  Meanwhile here at home, kids are living in abject poverty while forces like the NYPD get $29 million A DAY (you read that right), and cop cities are popping up in almost every state to protect the failing empire from its own demise.  PLUS the FBI targets Indigenous youth, and plastic waste colonialism means poor countries are drowning in blame and plastice as rich countries ship away problems and claim green futures.

Colombia, the Philippines, Mexico, and the Standing Rock Reservation — ”resource colonization”, as today's guest puts it, is a worldwide issue. But how often do we get the global picture? In the documentary "Powerlands", director Ivey-Camille Manybeads Tso meets Indigenous communities across three continents and speaking seven languages, to explore the global resistance against corporations such as Peabody Coal and BHP Petroleum. In the film, she discovers that their struggles are connected; is what she's tracing a trans-local and trans-generational Indigenous movement that is building? Our guests say Indigenous resistance across national borders can beat back corporate assaults on nature, people and our climate. Joining Laura for this Indigenous Peoples' Day special are Ivey-Camille Manybeads Tso and Kim Smith, both from the Diné (Navajo) Nation. Manybeads Tso is a self-described queer director and Smith is a community organizer who appears in the film. Plus a commentary from Laura on the Amazon monopoly — it takes one individual to hoard power, and many people to topple them down.“We're seeing this huge transcontinental movement that is forming in Oaxaca with wind power . . . The win that happened last October in Columbia, requiring mining corporations to clean up after themselves, that's huge for every place on the planet who is currently affected by mining . . .” Ivey-Camille Manybeads Tso“Standing Rock showed us what is to come, especially when you look at the police state, the military force and imperialism in this country . . . You're seeing it all over the world, [police] have all of this heavy machinery to take and kill what they see is in their path.” - Kim SmithGuests:Kim Smith (Diné): Community Organizer, Nihi Ké Baa (For Our Relatives) Mutual Aid; Co-Founder, Indigenous Goddess Gang PublicationIvey-Camille Manybeads Tso (Diné): Director, Powerlands; Award-Winning Filmmaker Full Episode Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more.Music Included- "In and Out" and "Steppin" by Podington Bear.  FOLLOW The Laura Flanders ShowTwitter: twitter.com/thelfshow Facebook: facebook.com/theLFshow Instagram: instagram.com/thelfshow/YouTube:  youtube.com/@thelfshow ACCESSIBILITY - The broadcast edition of this episode is available with closed captioned by clicking here for our YouTube Channel

Hundreds of people turned out for the opening of the new MIGIZI facility for Indigenous Youth in Minneapolis. The previous building was burned in the disturbances following the police murder of George Floyd. And Minnesota United, the Twin Cities MLS team, parted ways with its first and only coach, Adrian Heath.This is an MPR News afternoon update hosted by Hannah Yang. Music written by Gary Meister.

The land and its waterways have long been sacred to Indigenous people and they know how to care for it well, considering the land used to be theirs. Now, some groups are recruiting indigenous youth to restore and protect these areas.

For the first time since the start of the pandemic, Native American tribes and First Nations from around the Salish Sea resumed their annual canoe journey to Seattle this summer. They converged last week on the powow grounds of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe near Auburn.
