In this edition of the Workers Cauldron, we are headed over to the strange world of TikTok, where a new folklore is developing around creatures appropriated from indigenous American spiritualities.  These spirits, oddly euphemized as “Flesh Pedestrians” and “Windy Bois," are said to steal unwary hikers off trails and into the deep forests of North America. We break these stories down, and discuss how this form of appropriation sidesteps the very real history of colonialism, to the horrors of Canadian residential schools to Kit Carson's brutal attempt at ethnic cleansing in the American Southwest.Bonus Material: Deer that are not deer.

To kick off the new season of the podcast, Alina Utrata and Shikha Srinivas discuss space colonization and the tech billionaires in outer space. Why are Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk obsessed with getting to the moon and Mars? How are climate change and the quest to become an interplanetary species related? Who will unaccountable private corporations in space ultimately harm? Should we be afraid of cascading satellites and colliding space junk? And how can indigenous principles and knowledge-holders lead us in understanding our obligations to earth and space, and caring for our shared celestial commons? Since we talked a lot about indigenous communities on this episode, we want to highlight the work and knowledge of indigenous scholars, activists and communities:Sense of Place Series: Indigenous Perspectives on Earth and SkyAll My Relations: a podcast by three native women, as well as the specific episode about the fight to protect Mauna KeaThe Polynesian Voyaging Society, Hokule'a and more on Polynesian navigation practices.Native Appropriations, a blog by Dr. Adrienne KeeneMore Indigenous Scholars and Scholarly WorkDr Mark RifkinElizabeth ReeseProfessor Linda SmithDr. Sarah DeerNative science : natural laws of interdependenceMore about indigenous communities, colonialism and space:The impact of satellite constellations on space as an ancestral global commonsAnger after Indonesia offers Elon Musk Papuan island for SpaceX launchpadAstronomers May Not Like It but Astronomy and Colonialism Have a Shared HistoryThe legacy of colonialism on public lands created the Mauna Kea conflictOther articles:Mars is a hellhole.New York Times article about the social life of forestsThe myth of the tragedy of the commonsWhat if Space Junk and Climate Change Become the Same Problem?A rough sketch on some advanced carbon capture technologyAstronomers are very frustrated with Elon Musk's satellitesElon Musk and Jeff Bezos's space ideology:Billionaire battles are shaping our future in spaceElon Musk, once again the world's richest person, is selling all his possessions so people know he's serious about colonizing MarsElon Musk's Satellite Internet Project Is Too Risky, Rivals SayElon Musk's War on Regulators:The Tesla and SpaceX chief courts conflict with an alphabet soup of government agencies—and generally gets away with itElon Musk's SpaceX violated its launch license in explosive Starship test, triggering an FAA probeJeff Bezos' Rocket Company Challenges NASA Over SpaceX Moon Lander DealJeff Bezos Lifts Veil on His Rocket Company, Blue OriginNowhere Land by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4148-nowhere-landLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, All My Relations explores the topic of cultural appropriation—it’s become such a buzzword, but what is it, really? Adrienne and Matika care deeply about Native representation, and talk constantly about this subject. Here, you'll have the opportunity to listen into that conversation, as we reveal our feelings about the infamous white savior photographer Edward S. Curtis, Halloween, answer listener questions, and more. Appropriators beware.

In 2018 there are still over 2000 schools and professional sports teams with Native mascots, despite decades of activism and academic research demonstrating the harms of these images. Today Matika and Adrienne are in conversation with Amanda Blackhorse, Navajo social worker and mother, who was the lead plaintiff in the supreme court case against the Washington Redsk*ns, and Stephanie Fryberg, who is the top psychological researcher on these issues and has demonstrated through lab experiments and surveys how harmful these mascots are to Native youth and how they reinforce negative stereotypes.Guest BiosDr. Stephanie Fryberg is a member of the Tulalip Tribes, and an expert on the psychological and educational affects of social representations of race, class, and culture. She got her PhD in Psychology at Stanford University, where she is a member of the Multicultural Hall of Fame. Just last month, she was appointed as a Gerberding University Professor at the University of Washington, recognizing her exceptional research, contributions, and accomplishments in the field of American Indian Studies and Psychology. Dr. Fryberg’s research on stereotypes, race, class and psychological development led her to testify in front of the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on the impact of racist stereotypes on Indigenous people. My favorite title of a recent paper would be hands down: “We’re honoring you dude: Myths, Mascots and American Indians.” She is also one of the hardest workers I have ever known, and one of my most influential thought leaders.Amanda Blackhorse is from Big Mountain on the Navajo reservation, and is a Dine’ a social worker, activist, and mother. She was the lead plaintiff in Blackhorse vs. Pro Football Inc, a 2012 case which sought to revoke trademark protection of the term Washington R*dsk*ns. She attended haskell and received her Bachelor’s degree in social work at the University of Kansas and her Master’s degree at Washington University in St. Louis. While her training and work history includes focuses on substance abuse treatment, health care, and adult mental health in the Native communities, she has fiercely fought against the use of Native American imagery and stereotypes as sports team mascots. After filing her case against Pro Football Inc., Amanda founded Arizona to Rally Against Native American Mascots, and later launched the website NoMoreNativeMascots.org. Both entities are dedicated to spreading education, organizing protests, and working towards the elimination of sports mascots based on Native American imagery. She is a badass warrior woman, and this week was standing on top of a car in Arizona protesting Native Halloween costumes.ResourcesStephanie FrybergArticle: Monuments that Romanticize ConquistadorsNPR Article: Experiencing Discrimination in AmericaTalking about invisibility & representation around the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65LT8pwD8xkStereotypes Panel Lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOHDcJe4BC0Amanda BlackhorseContact: https://www.facebook.com/ablackhorse/2017 RulinSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/amrpodcast)

“Our voices will not be centered unless we fight for Native voices to be heard.” Dr. Adrienne Keene (Cherokee) will begin a position at Brown University this fall as a tenure track Assistant Professor in the American Studies Department. She also is the author of Native Appropriations, her website that “is a forum for discussing representations of Native peoples including stereotypes, cultural appropriations, news, activism and more.” Each of these accomplishments alone is impressive. The fact that Keene accomplished both in recent years is pretty amazing. I was excited to have Keene on NextGen Native. Given her experience in academia, and her blog often being the first insight many have into Native cultures, she has a unique position in Indian Country. Most of you probably know her work, but I was excited to learn more about Keene as an individual and her personal journey. Keene grew up in Southern California. During the summers, her family would make trips back to visit the Cherokee Nation. It was in high school where she first experienced interactions with people based on their perceptions of what a Native person should be, and not what Native people are. After acceptance into Stanford University, people questioned whether she “deserved” admission into the school or whether she was accepted because of her tribal citizenship. She dove into academics and the Native community once on campus. Keene thought she was heading towards work in a museum, but she gradually realized that her interests were skewing towards ethnic studies and education. After graduating, she spent some time working in academic admissions. This is where Keene really found her inspiration for her next step. While working in admissions, Adrienne Keene decided she wanted to pursue her Ph.D in education. She realized while traveling through Indian Country there was a lack of data and information about Native Americans in the education system. She enrolled at Harvard and began her research. It was during a shopping trip that Keene’s second project presented itself to her. It was in a store that she realized she needed to create Native Appropriations. A trip to Urban Outfitters “inspired” Keene’s first blog post. That was in 2010. That’s a long time in Internet time. She’s built a great following, forced difficult conversations, and provided a voice for Native peoples across the country around an issue that began to find its focus around the same time. I’ve constantly wondered how she keeps the energy to write on the topics she covers through Native Appropriations. But in the course of our conversation I realized that her experience is what many of us experience on a regular basis! She endures it through the magnifying lens of the Internet. But she’s not alone in her experience. Keene recently completed her Ph.D and is beginning her new post later this year. What’s kind of cool is to hear how her blog and her academic work have merged in certain areas, and how the blog will evolve in the future. No blog post will do this conversation, or Keene’s experience, justice. So, I’m going to to finish by saying you need to listen.   A few resources discussed in this episode:   College Horizons Op-Ed Project Overcoming impostor syndrome Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Graduate Horizons Tricks for fancy dinner etiquette Carina Miller on NextGen Native Natives in America

NO_Episode 18_"Native Invisibility" This episode explores the concept of "invisibility" as felt and experienced by native american people. Dave and Mike take current relevant examples from mainstream media and other sources to try to draw attention to how Native people, and our culture are used to highlight, then ignore our existence. "You can't have it both ways" states co-host Michael Kickingbear from the show. "For example, take JK Rowlings, the author of Harry Potter books, in her new work "History of Magic in North America" (Read for context) where she tries to draw on some false comparison of our medicine men and their healing practices to that of wizards and witches." Michael States. "Rowling Cites in her insultive current work "In the Native American community, some witches and wizards were accepted and even lauded within their tribes, gaining reputations for healing as medicine men, or outstanding hunters. However, others were stigmatized for their beliefs, often on the basis that they were possessed by malevolent spirits." But then, when you call her out on it.... crickets..... not a peep from the author to answer to our requests for comment or to answer our questions, such as to where she drew this conclusion? What tribal people did she speak or consult with? This is an example of both cultural MIS-appropriation AND ignorance. This is a contributor to our invisibility" This episode also quotes from an article produced by Author Adrienne K of Native Appropriations.com of her reaction to Rawlings recent work. The article entitles "Magic In North America Part 1 Ugh..." just goes deeper into why this work is offensive. well worth the read! We also look a how many native communities are being shut out of the voting process this election year through rule changes, and other methods of rights infringements. At least 10 different tribal nations are in court over these types of offenses by different states and their governments.
