Emmy also offers mentorship for yoga teachers and semi-private or family yoga classes. Land acknowledgment is just a tiny but important step within a much larger journey. Emmy and Jessica share why emotions like pain, guilt, fear, and anger are high for everyone with this topic and how we can deal with them. They also explain why deepening our connections to the land we inhabit is important and how we can learn about and honor different traditions, including yoga and indigenous healing traditions. Key Takeaways: [3:14] Shannon introduces her guests for this episode - Jessica Barudin and Emmy Chahal [11:26] What do Jessica and Emmy do? [15:07] Shannon shares why she was nervous about approaching the topic of land acknowledgements. [17:12] Why is it important to share land acknowledgements and who needs to be doing it? [23:23] Many people may start to feel defensive when talking about land acknowledgements. Why is that, and what can we do instead? [29:20] Jessica highlights the importance of continuing these conversations even as we may feel hesitant or uncomfortable about them, and how we can move forward from there. [32:54] How can we strengthen this practice of giving land acknowledgements beyond just paying lip service? Where can we start with this, especially if it may feel uncomfortable? [37:38] Shannon shares a clip of a short conversation she had with a yoga teacher about OfferingTree. [43:13] Jessica shares some insights about her particular geographical location and the history and connection she has to the land. [50:38] There may be no easy way to wrap up land acknowledgement and lineage acknowledgment into one or two sentences that encompass the entire history. [54:36] One key thing Emmy would like to see is people of European descent remembering their ancestors and going back to their earth-based embodiment and spiritual practices. [56:44] How has yoga helped indigenous communities? There is a lot of cross cultural learning, rather than blending or merging traditions and systems. [65:02] Jessica and Emmy share more about how you can work with and learn from them. [70:46] Shannon shares her reflections and takeaways from this discussion with Jessica and Emmy.

Quotes from this episode: "Land Acknowledgments - I feel like it's the tip of the iceberg. It's one tiny tiny gesture that is an invitation for people to really look at their complacency, complicity in colonialism." - Emmy "Emotions are always part of this conversation and I think it's really important to be gentle with yourself and forgiving and to sit with the complexity and the pain and the guilt and all of that." - Emmy "When we acknowledge the land, is it just a token gesture or is it something that we're deepening our relationships with where we are and what time in history." - Jessica “It has to be heartfelt and it has to be honest and it has to point towards deeper action." - Emmy "When people tell me they're nervous or they're scared or hesitant to say the wrong thing, I always take that as a good sign. That means that you care, and have the courage to make mistakes and try and try again. I think that's really important." - Emmy

C'est parti pour un tour... en partenariat avec Exploration du Monde ... tu vas nous emmener au Canada ... c'est vaste, le Canada ! Le film réalisé par André Maurice effleure aussi la diversité culturelle et ethnique du Canada et notamment les relations très délicates entre les Premières Nations et les descendants des colons. Les Premières nations commencent à trouver leur place, mais sans rentrer dans la complexité des relations politiques entre les peuples autochtones et leurs contemporains d'aujourd'hui, on peut tout de même dire que les choses s'améliorent progressivement. L'histoire des premières nations est très riche ... Impossible dans cette chronique d'évoquer tout ce que les descendants de ces premières nations continuent de cultiver tant sur le plan humain que sur le plan de la relation de l'homme à la nature qu'ils vénèrent autrement que la plupart de leurs contemporains. Et où peut-on se confronter à leurs cultures ? Justement les Premières Nations comptent sur le tourisme pour communiquer une culture d'abord bâtie sur la tradition orale. Musées, centres culturels, espaces naturels, site inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité.... De nombreux lieux, où la mémoire de ces peuples est préservée à jamais, sont à visiter pour découvrir toute la richesse de la culture des Premières Nations. Un exemple ? Du côté de Vancouver ... il y a les les kwakwak-ouillac ... Répète ! Les Kwakwak-ouillac des créateurs de masques et de totems remarquables ... Une visite incontournable, c'est le Musée d'Anthropologie de Vancouver pour s'initier à la culture des Premières Nations de Colombie-Britannique... Ouvert en 1976 le musée surplombe la mer, présente une riche collection d'objets artistiques et cérémoniels des cultures amérindiennes locales. Sa superbe architecture, avec une structure à poteaux et à poutres apparents, évoque les constructions trouvées dans les villages autochtones de la côte Nord-Ouest. Et il se présente comment ? Dès l'entrée, un grand hall avec des murs en verre de 15 mètres ... on est plongés dans une autre époque, avec des canoës et un ensemble exceptionnel de totems créés par les Kwakwaka'wakw, mais aussi les Nisga'a, et les Haida. Masques, arcs, pirogues, sculptures, poteries… Le musée abrite quelque 40.000 objets ethnographiques et 535.000 objets archéologiques, offrant le meilleur panorama qui soit des cultures des Premières Nations. Au lieu de présenter les objets en fonction de leur provenance, de leur usage ou de leur type, le musée les dispose en fonction des critères indigènes. Ainsi, les objets sont regroupés selon la cérémonie pour laquelle on les utilisait. À l'extérieur, autour d'un petit étang, la promenade se poursuit sous le regard impassible des totems.

Love the Wild: Moose / Alces alces

Fossil Huntress â€” Palaeo Sommelier

Love the Wild: Moose. One of the most impressive mammals of the Pacific Northwest and the largest living member of the deer family are Moose. They are taller than everyone you know and weighs more than your car. You may encounter them lumbering solo along the edge of rivers and lakes, taking a refreshing swim or happily snacking on short grasses, water plants, woody shrubs and pinecones. You can often see them in Canada and some of the northern regions of the USA going about their business of eating and swimming. The males are called bulls and make quite a racket during mating season, also known as the Rut, using their bugle-like calls to attract a mate. Their impressive headgear can grow up to six feet and are used in displays of posturing, fighting or self-defence with other bulls — generally regarding a lady-moose or cow. Females do not have antlers but certainly, notice them. Once a mate is chosen, the new parents will produce one or two babies or calves. Fully grown, their new young will one day be able to run 55 km per hour and have excellent hearing and sense of smell. Their vision is not that good but their other senses make up for it. The scientific or binomial name for Moose is Alces alces (Linnaeus, 1758). The word moose is borrowed from Algonquian. In Narragansett, moose are called moos and in Eastern Abenaki, this large mammal is called mos. Both are likely derived from moosu, meaning he strips off. The Proto-Algonquian form was mo·swa. In the Kwak̓wala language of the Kwakiutl or Kwakwaka'wakw, speakers of Kwak'wala, of the Pacific Northwest, moose are known as t̕ła̱wa̱l's — and their large crown of antler are known as wa̱t'łax̱. I had a close encounter on the Bowron Lake Circuit with a mamma moose, her new calf and a fully grown Grizzly chasing them. I can share that whatever the guidebooks say, a motivated mother and calf can outrun a bear. Maybe not always, but they certainly did that time. Moose are ungulates, mammals with hooves. The first ungulates appear in the fossil record about 50 million years ago. The lineage split, evolving into two groups: those with an even number of toes (Artiodactyls) and those with an uneven number of toes (Perissodactyls). We see the first proto-deer about 35 million years ago. These are the proto-deer like Syndyoceras who shared features with deer, horses, giraffes and antelopes. They had bony skull outgrowths similar to antlers and were found in North America during the Miocene, some 35 million years ago. Ten million years later, we see the first animals you and I would recognize as deer. Moose first appear in the fossil record during the Upper Pleistocene, a time of global glaciation. Moose are gentle creatures if unprovoked. They sometimes ramble into town or buildings if they lose their way. We find them enjoying the water from garden sprinklers, randomly making their way into homes, barns and classrooms in Canada — and likely elsewhere. It is worth doing a Google search of their antics to see all that these massive mammals get up to. They are smart enough to know that living in the woods in hunting season can go poorly, so Moose will gather in downtown Banff and Lake Louise, hiding in plain sight to avoid becoming someone's dinner or trophy. Across Canada today, we live alongside 500,000 to 1,000,000 of their number. Another 200,000 or so live south of us in the northern United States. Across Europe and Asia are another million-plus of their relatives.

Gord Hill on Art and Resistance Gord Hill is an indigenous author, anarchist, antifascist and militant, a member of the Kwakwaka'wakw nation living in so-called British Columbia, Canada. Gord is also graphic artist and comic book author who most recently published The Antifa Comic Book, out from Arsenal Pulp Press, and runs the website Warrior Publications and sometimes publishes under the nom-de-plume of ZigZag. For the hour we speak about his writings documenting indigenous resistance history in the so-called Americas (mostly with a focus on Turtle Island), antifascist organizing, intersections of indigenous struggle and anarchism and critiques of Pacifism (see Gord's “Smash Pacifism” zine). Some of the points of resistance that we cover include Elsipogtog (Elsipogtog in 5 Minutes video at sub.media), Idle No More, The Oka Crisis (“The Oka Crisis in 5 Minutes” video at sub.media), Stoney Point/Aazhoodena (another 5 minutes video by Gord), Gustafsen Lake (we didn't talk about but another 5 minute video), the Zapatista Rebellion and the Unist'ot'en Camp resistance to pipelines in so-called B.C. (Sean Swain at 3min 55sec, Gord Hill at 11min 27sec, announces at 57min 29sec) Rayquan Borum Trial Update In a brief and sad update to last week's interview on the case of Rayquan Borum, we'd like to read a statement from the fedbook page for Charlotte Uprising: We are deeply saddened to report that Rayquan Borum has been found guilty of possession of a firearm and second degree murder with him being sentenced to 25/26 years in a cage. We knew it would be difficult to receive a fair trial in the same court that allowed Officer Randall Kerrick to walk free for the murder of unarmed Jonathan Ferrell. We know the police will continue to kill Black and brown folks and escape accountability. We suffered extreme suppression from the judge from the start of the trial. Even though the medical examiner testified there was a 51% chance that ANYTHING else killed Justin Carr, Judge Hayes would not allow any testimony naming the police. Of course, it is far easier to scapegoat a random Black man than to launch an investigation into the same police force that killed ONLY Black people in 2015. We also know that Justin Carr would be alive were it not for the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department murder of Keith Lamont Scott (no trial for that officer, of course). We know that the Mecklenburg County Courts disproportionately sentence Black and brown bodies to time in cages. We know that CMPD disproportionately arrests Black and brown folks. Black people are 30% of Charlotte's population and make up about 70% of the jail population. Heinous. We know that this is the American Way. In response, we will continue to rise up and resist this colonized nation and work toward building a more decolonized world, for all of us. Forward, together #CMPDKilledJustinCarr #CagesFixNothing #FreeThemAll #CMPD #RayquanBorum #MecklenburgCounty #NoMoreKIllerCopsOrJails Announcements A few house keeping notes about the show.

The uprising was as follows: prisoners took over Building C at the Vaughn prison in Smyrna, Delaware, and took three prison guards and one prison counselor hostage. Demands issued during the hostage standoff included that Delaware Governor John Carney investigate poor living conditions at the facility. One correctional officer who was taken hostage, Steven Floyd, would later be found dead after police re-entered the facility. The case can be followed at vaughn17support.org as it enters it's third trial group. A few words from the support site note the continued repression of some of the court-exonerated prisoners: The State of Delaware retaliated against defendants in the Vaughn uprising trial last week, by moving them out of state to Pennsylvania. Kevin Berry, Abednego Baynes, Obadiah Miller, Johnny Bramble, Dwayne Staats, and Jarreau Ayers were all transferred to solitary confinement at SCI Camp Hill, a maximum security facility. They joined Deric Forney, who was transferred weeks earlier in January. Berry, Baynes, and Forney have all been fully acquitted on all charges. “It's unusual to move prisoners with short terms left in their sentence out of state,” said Fariha Huriya, an organizer working closely with Vaughn 17 prisoners. “They're being held in solitary confinement, with no showers, no access to commissary, and limited phone calls. It's the same inhumane conditions that they faced at James T. Vaughn.” “The State's vindictiveness will cost them,” said Betty Rothstein, who also organizes with the prisoners. “The Vaughn 17 have resisted these charges, and will continue to resist and expose the corruption of the DOC and abuse on prisoners.” There are nine defendants who are still awaiting trial. New trial dates for groups 3 and 4 are scheduled for May 6th, 2019, and October 21st, 2019. . ... . .. Playlist

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony before the parliamentary justice committee on Wednesday rocked the Trudeau government. The Prime Minister said he "completely disagrees with the former Attorney General's characterizations of events." The attacks on Wilson-Raybould and her credibility have since begun while Canadians have largely expressed strong support for the former Attorney General. Roy speaks with Chief Bill Wilson, Kwakwaka'wakw hereditary chief and Jodie Wilson-Raybould's father, about how the Trudeau Liberals and others have reacted to his daughter's testimony. One of the reactions to Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony came from Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer, who declared that he was "sickened and appalled" and immediately called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign. The Conservative Party's leader joins Roy to discuss what comes next. Canadians are becoming increasingly familiar with the story around a criminal charge against Vice Admiral Mark Norman, and his removal from command. Norman has been charged with breach of trust for allegedly leaking cabinet information concerning the acquisition of a much needed supply ship for the Canadian Navy. Now Admiral Norman's lawyers—led by Marie Heinen—are zeroing in on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Gerald Butts, Trudeau Chief of Staff Katie Telford, Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, and Zita Astravas, former issues manager in the PM's Office and now chief of staff to Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan. Brian Platt covered this for the National Post. From May 2012 - November 2014, the Charbonneau Commission investigated the infiltration of Quebec's construction industry by crime groups. It resulted in 66,000 pages of transcript, with the Mafia and Hells Angels identified as major players. SNC-Lavalin surfaced here as well as the company had been illegally delivering funds to Quebec politicians it favoured. A "Strawman" practice was engaged where SNC employees and their family members, some earning as little as $32,000 per year, donated up to $1000 to either the provincial Liberals or Parti Quebecois. Between 1998 and 2010 $1 million had been 'donated.' It was understood that the company would reimburse these political party gifts at the end of the year through performance bonuses for those employees. Antonio Nicaso is an expert on organized crime who testified before the Charbonneau Commission. He and Roy now discuss corruption in Quebec, and the concerns surrounding SNC-Lavalin. How is the SNC-Lavalin Affair viewed outside Canada's borders? The New York Times published a story titled: The Strange Story Behind the SNC-Lavalin Affair, in which writer Ian Austen takes apart the Affair in point form. Ian joins Roy to explain the perception held by Americans, and how he took on the story. - Guests: Chief Bill Wilson, Kwakwaka'wakw hereditary chief, and Jodie Wilson-Raybould's father Andrew Scheer, Leader of the Conservative Party Brian Platt, Parliament Hill reporter for the National Post Antonio Nicaso, expert on organized Crime, Queen's University lecturer and author of 27 books on Organized Crime, including ‘Bad Blood: Mafia Boss Vito Rizutto's Last War' which has been adapted into the Television series ‘Bad Blood,' now on Netflix Ian Austen, reports on Canada for the New York Times See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony before the parliamentary justice committee on Wednesday rocked the Trudeau government. The Prime Minister said he "completely disagrees with the former Attorney General's characterizations of events." The attacks on Wilson-Raybould and her credibility have since begun while Canadians have largely expressed strong support for the former Attorney General.

Gord Hill: Uniting Indigenous Resistance & Anticapitalist Praxis

In this segment of my discussion with Indigenous artist, activist, and author Gord Hill, I ask Gord to provide much needed context on how radical Leftist theory and practice (for the most part, European in origin) increasingly works in tandem with anti-colonial Indigenous resistance movements across the so-called Americas, from North to South. As Gord lays out in this discussion, various strains of resistance — anti-colonial, ecological, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, egalitarian — stand to benefit from learning and working with each other -- and in great part, this is already happening. We also discuss that while different, each of these respective strains of resistance utilize a similar diversity of tactics in resistance to the State, the logic of Capital, and the Settler-Colonial culture that dominates the land up to the present moment. Gord Hill, who also goes under the pen name Zig Zag, is a member of the Kwakwaka’wakw nation along the Northwest Coast. Lord is an indigenous activist, anarchist, and artist, and is the author and illustrator of numerous books/graphic novels, including ‘500 Years of Indigenous Resistance,’ ‘The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book,’ ‘The Anti-Capitalist Resistance Comic Book,’ and ‘The Antifa Comic Book.’ Stay up to date with indigenous, anti-capitalist, and anti-fascist resistance -- as well as all the work Gord is doing -- at his website: https://warriorpublications.wordpress.com This is a segment of episode #172 of Last Born In The Wilderness “No Justice On Stolen Land: Uniting Indigenous Resistance & Anticapitalist Revolt w/ Gord Hill.” Listen to the full episode: http://bit.ly/LBWhill WEBSITE: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com PATREON: http://bit.ly/LBWPATREON DONATE: Paypal: http://bit.ly/LBWPAYPAL Ko-Fi: http://bit.ly/LBWKOFI DROP ME A LINE: (208) 918-2837 FOLLOW & LISTEN: SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/LBWSOUNDCLOUD iTunes: http://bit.ly/LBWITUNES Google Play: http://bit.ly/LBWGOOGLE Stitcher: http://bit.ly/LBWSTITCHER RadioPublic: http://bit.ly/LBWRADIOPUB YouTube: http://bit.ly/LBWYOUTUBE NEWSLETTER: http://bit.ly/LBWnewsletter SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: http://bit.ly/LBWFACEBOOK Twitter: http://bit.ly/LBWTWITTER Instagram: http://bit.ly/LBWINSTA

In this episode, I speak with Gord Hill (also known as Zig Zag) — Indigenous artist, activist, and the author of numerous books/graphic novels, including ‘500 Years of Indigenous Resistance,’ ‘The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book,’ ‘The Anti-Capitalist Resistance Comic Book,’ and 'The Antifa Comic Book.’ A major theme that runs through this discussion with Gord is the recognition that there is currently a growing intersection between what can be defined as traditionally Eurocentric Leftist political theory and practice with anti-colonial Indigenous resistance, throughout the so-called American continents, from North to South. At the beginning of this discussion, I ask Gord to provide some examples of Indigenous resistance to colonialist expansion throughout the so-called Americas over the past 500 years, from the earliest forms of resistance in the earliest days of European colonial expansion, up to the present day. Gord, having one foot in indigenous resistance movements and the other in anarchist/anti-capitalist/anti-fascist organizing, provides much needed context on how radical Leftist theory and practice (for the most part, European in origin) increasingly works in tandem with anti-colonial Indigenous resistance movements. As Gord lays out in this episode, various strains of resistance — anti-colonial, ecological, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, egalitarian — stand to benefit from learning and working with each other -- and in great part, this is already happening.

Gord is a member of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation on the Northwest Coast of so-called British Columbia, and has been active with Indigenous resistance, anti-colonial and anti-capitalist movements for three decades In this feature-length interview, we speak with Gord about the motivations for creating The Antifa Comic Book, the process of writing, drawing and inking, as well as the detailed research undertaken to create his book. We discuss in depth the process of discovering grassroots anti-fascist history, definitions of fascism, influences of fascism on wide-ranging regimes and movements globally, as well as the various internal conflicts on the political left that allowed space for fascism to thrive historically. Gord shares his views on countering the demonization of modern-day Antifa, tactical lessons from the history of confronting fascism, creating anti-fascist culture, and the necessity of self-defence against fascists.
