Kendra and her friend Brooke Pepe created a documentary called Daughter of a Lost Bird, which follows Kendra's journey of looking for her birth mother and reconnecting with her Native American roots. The film captures the first phone call, the letter Kendra received, and their emotional meeting. Kendra's birth mother, April, was open to being in the film and has been supportive throughout the process. The documentary has been screened at film festivals and aired on PBS World Channel. It is currently being prepared for online streaming. Kendra discusses the importance of cultural access and the revival of lost cultures. She also shares her career as a doula and the similarities between birth and death work. Kendra emphasizes the significance of holding space and being present in both these threshold moments. She talks about the pursuit of play and the need to find joy and fun in life. Kendra finds inspiration in her children and is working on unpacking the baggage of rest.

Raven, is a Kambo ceremony leader, is a blend of Hopi Indian and Mexica heritage. His great-grandmother s history as a Lost Bird kidnapped and sold into slavery ignited his mission of reclaiming his mixed-blood roots. Over 20 years, he s delved into global medicine practices, nutrition, neurology, and unified field physics. Raven crafts effective food and nutrition programs and serves as a bridge between traditions, nourishment, and healing. His work centers on guiding individuals to rediscover their hidden potential, making him a catalyst for transformation and consciousness expansion. Kambo is a healing substance derived from the secretions of the Giant Monkey Frog, Phyllo medusa bicolor. This bright green frog s neuro-toxic poison is collected and carefully applied to the human lymphatic system through small burns on the skin. In the body, this poison acts as a cleanser and boosts the immune system. Kambo has various medicinal and traditional uses, primarily due to its bioactive peptides, which catalyze physical detoxification and spiritual renewal. These peptides have antimicrobial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties, making Kambo valuable in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, and more. Importantly, Kambo is legal and does not contain psychoactive compounds, and the frogs are not harmed in the secretion collection process. Spiritually, Kambo is known for clearing psychic baggage known as Panéma, originating from personal traumas, ancestral influences, and cultural conditioning. The application involves removing layers of skin and placing medicine dots, usually on the back. It s crucial to complete all three ceremonies once started, as they constitute one comprehensive process spread over three days. Once you commit financially, it s non-refundable, as the three ceremonies are interconnected for optimal results.

GUEST BIO Teresa Suydam is a lost bird songwriter and producer of Indigenous and Filipino descent who makes cinematic pop infused with honey-like vocals. Based out of Denver, Colorado, Teresa chases their own culture and identity with their music, and is a safe haven to other multicultural individuals who don't feel at home in their own skin. In 2022, Teresa's music video for "Take Me to the Water" was nominated for the Native American Music Awards (NAMA).. Instagram | TikTok | Web DEFINITIONS Smudging is a cultural ceremony practiced by Native peoples. It involves burning sacred herbs like tobacco, sweetgrass, sage, and cedar for medicinal, practical, and spiritual purposes. The smoke carries prayers and healing powers. A vessel holds the herbs, and the smoke is guided over the body using a feather (preferably eagle) or hand. Smudging a room involves directing smoke while praying for positive energy and removing negative energy. Ashes are placed outside to symbolize removing negative energy from our lives.

A powwow is a ceremony held by Native American peoples involving feasting, singing, and dancing. Side note: You may have heard or used the term "powwow" to refer to meetings that are completely unrelated to the original Indigenous context. This is an example of cultural appropriation and is offensive to Native Americans because it strips the word from its great cultural importance. TAKEAWAYS When your people have been driven to near extinction by colonialism and constantly subjugated to brutal treatment, being alive today and occupying space is a form of resistance in itself. For people who have grown up with no connection to their roots, it can take a while to warm up to the idea but with the unrelenting, gentle support of their mentors, Teresa did start to learn more about their cultures. Sometimes we don't know what we've been missing until we experience it. Teresa had this experience both when connecting with their cultures and when reconnecting with their biological mom and described it as feeling more like themselves, more whole, and more at peace with who they are. Learning can feel overwhelming when we know next to nothing, be it a language, a culture, or music production. But it gets easier if we start small and give ourselves some grace to make mistakes in order to learn.

An interview with filmmaker Brooke Swaney and actor Kendra Mylnechuk who speak about their respective work on the documentary film Daughter of a Lost Bird. This is a write-up on the film from the Human Rights Watch film festival: This beautifully personal film documents her journey as she discovers her Native identity—finding her birth mother, April, also a Native adoptee, and returning to her Lummi homelands in Washington State. In Daughter of a Lost Bird, Kendra and April's stories show the impact of intentional government actions to erase an entire culture, including the 1958 Indian Adoption Project, which removed Native children from their families and placed them in white homes in an effort to “kill the Indian and save the man.” This poignant story shows, as James Baldwin rightfully put it: "History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us.” “I identified as white. This strange confusion of white guilt, and native anger. Where does it sit in me? And how do I sit with both of those things?” —Kendra Mylnechuk Potter, film participant, Daughter of a Lost Bird Music on this edition is by The Halluci Nation.

On this episode CIFF Speaks with DAUGHTER OF A LOST BIRD Director Brooke Pepion Swaney and Subject/Producer Kendra Mylnechuk Potter.  We discuss how Kendra recorded the worst voicemail ever, the haunting nature of 1950's Bureau of Indian Affairs propaganda films, and the differences between having an ethnicity and being a political minority.

Brittney Griner is 6 foot 9. She's an American basketball player, some say she's the greatest female basketball player of all time and she is currently being detained in Russia on drug charges that could carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Overnight Russian courts have extended her detention for two more months. All this while tensions between Russia and the States remain tense and her family worry she may be used as a political pawn. Molly McElwee, the Telegraph's Women's Sports reporter explains. To mark Red Nose Day Ena Miller visits a Comic Relief supported project helping survivors of domestic abuse. At Tower House Horses they use equine assisted learning to help women improve their mental health and recover their confidence. A woman we are calling Sophie tells her story and Susie, one of the co-founders of the project, explains how horses help women who have been through trauma. Yesterday the government set out its plans to address racial disparities in the UK with changes to policing, health and education. Inclusive Britain: the government response to the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities sets out 70 plans including ones to tackle the differences in maternal health to ones referring to police powers. There also includes a plan to get a diverse panel of historians to, as the report puts it, ‘develop a new knowledge rich History Curriculum by 2024 exploring Britain's historical past'. But how would that actually work in practice? Kendra Mylnechuk Potter was adopted into a white family and raised with no knowledge of her Native background. A new film 'Daughter of a Lost Bird' currently showing at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival follows Kendra as she connects with her birth mother April, also a Native adoptee, and discovers her Lummi homelands in Washington state. Her story has parallels with many of those children affected by the 1958 Indian Adoption project, where Native children in the US were removed from their families and placed in white homes, dubbed by some as' cultural genocide'. In the late1970s the Indian Child Welfare Act came into force which prioritised keeping native Indian children within their own tribes. Anita speaks to Kendra and to the filmmaker Brooke Pepion Swaney. The history of civil rights changed when Barbara Lisicki met Alan Holdsworth. The two were disabled cabaret performers in the 1980s when they met, fell in love and founded the disabled people's Direct Action Network (DAN). They became the driving force behind the campaign that ultimately led to the passing of the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act. A new BBC Two drama, Then Barbara Met Alan, tells their story. We hear from the real-life Barbara Lisicki, and Ruth Madeley, the actor who plays her.
