609 - Why does it feel so good to see yourself on TV? Three Degrassi fans stop by The Degrassi Kid Podcast to discuss representation, identity and the power of seeing yourself on TV. Falen, an award-winning Indigneous playwright, grew up in the re-run era of Degrassi Junior High. In this interview, she shares why representation on TV can resonate with marginalized communities. Stacey highlights media that's getting Indigenous representation right. She tells us why that representation has made such a personal impact. Stevi shares what it was like to grow up without realizing they were Indigenous, how a racist joke led to them discovering their identity and what it was like growing up with a white-passing sibling who had a much different experience than them.

Rashid Hughes seeks to bridge the worlds of contemplative practice and collective care. He is a proud graduate of the Howard University Department of Music and the Howard University School of Divinity. Rashid is a certified Mindfulness Teacher, a certified Yoga Instructor, a Restorative Justice Facilitator, and currently in training to become a Fire Pujari. All of Rashid's perspectives flow from the two wisdom traditions of contemplative and restorative practices. In 2019, Rashid co-founded the Heart Refuge Mindfulness Community, a community in Washington, DC that inspires Black, Indigneous, and People of Color (BIPOC) to live with love and courage in the face of systemic inequities and ongoing racial-violence. Out of his unwavering love for community care and healing, Rashid facilitates weekly mindfulness sessions to support BIPOC in living with joy, while also understanding and resolving the impact of trauma on their bodies and lives. Due to his interest in challenging the ideas and systems that uphold a culture of patriarchy today, he also facilitates mindfulness sessions for BIPOC masculine & male identifying people who are particularly committed to addressing issues of masculinity and the culture of patriarchy. As a Restorative Justice Facilitator, Rashid holds the title of Restorative Justice Program Specialist at the non-profit SchoolTalk Inc. in Washington, DC. In that role, he collaborates with DC schools to create restorative spaces for youth to envision healing-centered approaches to school discipline, accountability and community building. When school classrooms went virtual in 2020, Rashid launched SchoolTalk's Our School Our Voice initiative, a citywide collaboration between SchoolTalk and four schools in the District of Columbia. Our School Our Voice is student-designed, student-led, and rooted in Rashid's vision of creating peer groups for students to engage with other students from different communities and elevate their voices. In 2020, during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, Rashid created a contemplative practice, R.E.S.T.-A Practice for the Tired & Weary, to provide practical means for people to find clarity and confidence in the midst of such devastating and uncertain times. In 2021, Rashid expanded the R.E.S.T. practice into a 5-Week Online Course & Practice Group. In collaboration with the Garrison Institute's Fellowship Forum, Rashid joined Dr. Angel Acosta in conversation around the intersections of the R.E.S.T. practice, liberation and contemplative practice with a particular focus on how this practice is an antidote to the systems of capitalism and white supremacy. Rashid's writings have been published by Mindful Magazine, Lion's Roar Magazine, and his first peer reviewed essay on R.E.S.T. was featured in the Journal for Contemplative Inquiry's volume, Transcendent Wisdom and Transformative Action: Reflections from Black Contemplatives, a “special edition focusing on the insights and wisdom of Black contemplative practitioners, researchers, scholars, educators and artists. Today, Rashid is devoting his time to a new interest, exploring the role of ceremony and contemplative practice in creating the conditions for a more just and caring world.In this special episode, we discuss:Freedom and liberationFear as a path to clarityPurposeSpiritual practiceAuthenticityReclamationShared realityConsuming chaosR.E.S.TA modern wisdom goddess Connect with Rashid on his website or on Instagram @justbeandbreathe.Podcast music by Charles Kurtz+ Read transcript

Carl Merrison and Hakea Hustler are the authors of the critically acclaimed novel Black Cockatoo. Carl is a Jaru and Kija man from Halls Creek. He works with young Indigenous boys focusing on improving engagement with education. Carl was nominated for Australian of the Year in 2016. Hakea is an English teacher who has taught around Australia including in remote Aboriginal communities.Deklan Archer, Dek to his friends, arrives at school to news that has shocked the community. Old Mr Henry, infamous for selling sly grog to locals, has been found drowned.To make matters worse, the bus returning the Year Twelve camp is running late. This has got Dek stressed because he and his mates were mucking around near the bus.The cops are talking to everyone and Dek is one of the first students called up. Could Mr Henry's death be murder, and if so what does that mean for the busload of missing students?From the start Tracks of the Missing draws the reader into its adventure. From Dek's perspective this a calamity; he's got family and friends on the bus and he knows the cops don't understand the country well enough to search properly.Dek wants to investigate and he and his mates are ready to ditch school and join their family. It's not that simple though. Dek has a big footy trial coming up. It's not often the big city scouts come to their remote community. If Dek misses the chance to show his skills then he might miss the only chance he has to get out of town and see the world.Dek's hand is forced when his Grandfather, a renowned tracker, enlists him to the search. Hitting the road with a reluctant police officer they head into the bush away from the main search party. Grandfather has a feeling and Dek backs him up, but there is something worrying them both this time.Carl and Hakea's style in Tracks of the Missing is sharp and pacy. When we spoke for Final Draft they described wanting to engage young readers in a way that is exciting but isn't off putting to those who feel less confident in their reading skills.Carl also talked about wanting to engage young men, particularly in the communities where he's worked with stories that relate to their personal experience.Tracks of the Missing is a thrilling mystery but at its heart Dek vacillates between the pull to solve it, to save his family and friends and to leave it all behind to follow his footy dreams. Carl talked to me about this pull and the need to walk in two worlds.The novel also highlights the relationship between Dek and his Grandfather. As they track the missing bus, Dek reflects on the skills his grandfather has taught him and how they will be lost when Grandfather dies. Dek is like so many young Indigenous people building connections with culture and worrying that the generation that carries that culture is getting older.Tracks of the Missing also does fascinating things with white conceptions of genre. If you think you know YA, or adventure, or even fantasy, Tracks will shake down your preconceptions and introduce new ways to think about these storytelling tropes.I found Tracks of the Missing a real wild ride with a strong heart. It taught me something about the legacy of colonization and dispossession and challenged my notions of the endurance of culture.Tracks of the Missing is out now from Magabala Books, and just a quick shout out to Magabala. They are an independent Indigenous publishing house that have been around since the eighties. They produce an incredible range of titles from first nations writers, most particularly books for younger readers. If you're concerned with supporting a change in the kids of stories that are told in this country and offering Indigneous perspectives to young readers they are a must and always my go to when buying books for family and young friends.Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew PopleWant more great conversations with Australian authors?Discover this and many more conversations on Final Draft every week from 2ser.Get in touch with Andrew and Final Draft.

When the push to restrict tribes and nations from living by means of traditional ways is so obvious, the only thing left to believe is the powers that be will do whatever it takes to destroy Native cultures by any means possible.

The fight against Line 3 has reached the United Nations. Now, the U.S. must respond to allegations of Indigenous rights violations related to the pipeline construction.  Tiffany Bui reports:In late March, Indigenous-led organizations writing on behalf of the Anishinaabe people asked a United Nations committee to take action against the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline. The tar sands pipeline crosses through treaty-protected lands and opponents say puts the environment at risk.Both the Giniw Collective and Honor the Earth argued that the Enbridge pipeline construction violated numerous rights of the Anishinaabe under an international convention against racial discrimination.In a win for advocates, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination wrote a letter to the U.S. requesting a response to these allegations.Kate Finn is the executive director of First Peoples Worldwide, which helped bring the case in front of the UN. Finn said the letter is a key step in acknowledging that the pipeline construction has caused harm to the Anishinaabe.“It really does plainly state these human rights violations,” said Finn. “And we can take this letter to businesses and to financial institutions and to insurers to say ‘here are the violations that are attendant to Enbridge's pipeline.'”The UN Committee asked the US to respond by October 15; as of the writing of this story, the U.S. had yet to respond publicly. A spokesperson for the United Nations said the committee can't publicize states' replies.“We know through our work that the US isn't required to respond publicly, so my assumption is that they won't,” said Finn.   Still, the United Nations' attention to Line 3 has raised awareness to an international level.Keri Iyall Smith, a professor of sociology at Suffolk University, said it is not uncommon for Indigenous people in North America to turn to the United Nations after exhausting all their legal options at the local, state and federal level.“I like the words that Walter Echo Hawk uses,” said Smith. “He calls it ‘the courts of the conqueror.' And it's very logical that it's hard for Indigenous peoples to win in the courts of the conqueror, in the courts of the settler state. More frequently, what does happen is Indigenous peoples need to lean on that international support and international pressure to assert their rights.”In some cases, the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Rights recognizes more rights to Indigenous people than what is promised under the treaties. One example is the right to free, prior and informed consent, which dictates that tribes can give or withhold consent over any projects in their territories. “Basically, Indigenous people in the U.S. would have, outside of the U.S. Constitution, anything that was explicitly spelled out in their treaties,” said Smith. “And I don't think they would have envisioned something like free prior and informed consent at that time. [It] tended to be things like protecting the rights to gather and hunt in traditional places … But that's not the same as free prior and informed consent, which really supports the autonomy of indigenous peoples,  their political and social autonomy in these types of conversations.”Line 3 began operating at the beginning of October; activists say they will continue fighting for Indigneous cultural and environmental rights. Tiffany Bui reporting for Minnesota Native News.

But for hundreds of years before this, the Sioux Nations have defended their land and fought for sovereignty. This story features the voices of some of these leaders.

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 5 - Midwives and DoulasThis podcast is a conversation with dear friend Jo Hunter, a private practising endorsed midwife based in Sydney, Australia.Jo Hunter has been a midwife as well as a doula and educator and been helping families over 20 years. She is also the co-creator of a new documentary film we are all very excited about called BirthTime.I have wanted to make this podcast for a while because so many people are often confused about the benefits of midwives and doulas. People often think that we do the same kind of work and that if you have one, you don't need the other. Also a common myth is that all midwives are the same and practice the same way in any environment.Together Jo and I discuss what midwives and doulas really do? How we differ from each other and what it is like to work with a private practicing midwife during your pregnancy, labour and postpartum. We also touch on the importance of Birthing On Country and supporting our Indigneous sisters through birth, closing the gap.You will definitely enjoy this podcast if you want to understand more about the gold standard of care that comes through employing an independent midwife. And certainly be better informed and prepared knowing the limitations midwives and doulas can have in different birth settings too.To find out more go to:http://www.midwifejo.com.auhttps://www.birthtime.worldhttp://www.waminda.org.au/birthing-on-countryI hope you enjoy our conversation and please leave us a review. xxx

There are so many divides in Alberta: rural and urban, north and south, right and left, Indigneous and settler, myth and reality. With so much diversity, how to do we find an coherent identity?

In late 2016 ACON's Board and Senior Leadership Team recognised the need to work in a more coordinated, culturally respectful and inclusive way with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, service users and organisational partners. ACON initiated work with Reconciliation Australia to develop ACON's first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which is a formal framework for organisations to ensure their work supports the national reconciliation movement.Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples remain a priority population under successive state and national health strategies, recognising that this population continues to be disproportionately impacted by poorer health outcomes across a number of areas, including HIV and STIs, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Smoking, Domestic and Family Violence and Social Inclusion.With the implementation of ACON's first RAP their intention is to build on the partnership work ACON has already been doing. We aim to create a more strategic, collaborative and whole of organisation approach to our work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
