In this feature segment of asPERusual, guest listener and patient partner Kathy Smith offers a short recap and her key takeaways from last week's episode of asPERusual focused on patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network -- a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Tune in to this short (~10 minute) episode, regardless of whether you want to compare reflections or get the Coles notes of the full Can-SOLVE CKD Network episode.Episode Transcript:Anna:Hi everyone! Welcome to onePERspective - a bi-weekly segment in which patient partner Kathy Smith shares a synopsis and key reflections from the previous episode of asPERusual -- a podcast for practical patient engagement. My name is Anna Chudyk and I am asPERusual's host. In today's episode, Kathy will be commenting on S3E2 of asPERusual. In that episode, I sat down with Melanie Talson and Cathy Woods to learn all about patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network, which is a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Alright Kathy, lets turn it over to you and your onePERspective. Kathy Smith:Thank you, Anna and hello, everyone. I am speaking to you from the centre of Canada along the shores of Lake Superior, or Gitchigumi, the largest, deepest, coldest and cleanest freshwater lake in the world. I wish to acknowledge that my City of Thunder Bay is situated on the traditional land of the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Ojibwa of Fort William First Nation, signatories to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. I thank our ancestral land keepers for centuries of sustainable stewardship of this beautiful area and for kindly sharing the bounties of this rich land with everyone. I also wish to express my appreciation for the significant contribution of the Metis nation. I am sorry for the mistakes made and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by colonists in the past and I am committed to working together for truth and reconciliation. Miigwetch.If ever there was an award for a solid and sustainable engagement strategy, today's Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Px engagement platform would certainly be a strong contender. I am most impressed with how they have integrated the Indigenous voice and with their capacity-building training modules, including bi-directional Capacity Bridging.Melanie Talson & Cathy Woods from Can-SOLVE CKD: Canadians Seeking Solutions and Innovations to Overcome Chronic Kidney Disease describe their network as a national partnership of lived experience patients; learned experience researchers; laboured experience health care workers and clinicians; and leaders – the managers and policy makers. The four “Ls” work together to transform treatment and care and improve the outcome for those living with debilitating chronic kidney disease.Can-SOLVE's tagline is “the right treatment for the right person at the right time and place.” No small task when you consider CKD affects a disproportionate number of Indigenous people many of whom live in remote, even fly-in, communities. That is why I am so impressed to see that this group has a strategy for addressing that barrier to care. Can-SOLVE has an Indigenous-led partner group, IPERC -Indigenous Peoples Engagement and Research Council. IPERC's focus is on Indigenous kidney care challenges unique to this harder to reach, often underserved, group. Cathy, of the Bear Clan, is a member of Naicatchewenin First Nation in Northwestern Ontario, is the patient partner and a lead researcher of the Kidney Check Research Project which seeks to screen, triage and treat Indigenous people living in rural and remote communities in the three western provinces and British Columbia. Patient partners within both groups prioritize and co-lead research projects like this one, ensuring meaningful and relevant engagement at every stage. Furthermore, there is a Patient Governance Council – a leadership team made up of representatives of both interest groups who decide on plans and policies that affect the entire CKD community.Our speakers have done a great job describing each of the 6 Rs upon which they built their engagement platform: Respect, Responsibility, Reciprocity, Relevance, Relationships and Realness. Realness is a term I had not heard of in engagement platforms before. But I do understand and appreciate its inclusion. We need to fit our hats to the task as I like to call it. Our real life has given each of us many hats, but which shall we wear to best meet the asks of the task? Patients and providers work best when they find common ground, common interests and common language with lived experience input “as is”. Bring your real, authentic self to the table. Respect for individual differences and perspectives sees real-world impacts.Equally impactful is how patient partners like Cathy describes her involvement in CANSOLVE as healing, empowering, and deeply purposeful – creating a space for ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. As the famous anthropologist, Margaret Mead, phrased it; never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.”Finally, I'd like to acknowledge CANSOLVE's Bridging Capacity. Building capacity is an integral component of patient engagement strategies. Training modules are co-designed to buildup the knowledge and provide the necessary tools for patients to engage in a research project. These helps are unidirectional in scope. So how does Bridging Capacity differ from Building Capacity? Bridging Capacity is bi-directional. Patients and providers both learn from each other. I cant think of a better tool for bridging the power differential and creating strong work relationships!All in all, CANSOLVE and IPERC have really empowered patients to enhance research relevance to better the outcome for all with chronic kidney disease.PERsonally SpeakingMy three take-aways:Could this Indigenous Partnership (IPERC) model be used to incorporate the voice of many other underserved populations – the remote; the homeless; the new Canadians? These groups are surely concerned about their health, but they do not want to, or cannot, come to our Table. So, meet them where they are at with separate interest groups run by their own leaders and their own peers. Then the leaders of the various interest groups could come together to form an overarching Senior Team. This makes for a much more inclusive and diverse Patient Engagement Platform!Capacity Bridging This was a term I had not heard of before but I very much like it for the added emphasis it brings to an engagement platform. This bridging is a bi-directional sharing of knowledge between the lived experience experts and the learned experience experts. It stresses the importance of respecting that all members of the team bring unique experiences and skill sets. This concept guides mentorship, training, and peer review practices across the network. Patient partners are highly valued for their different hats they bring to a task on the TEAM: Together Everyone Accomplishes More. Together is better!Relationship Building is at the heart and soul of every Patient Engagement Platform. It takes a patience of time and a whole lot of money. It must be accounted for in research budgets and run by a paid, highly trained and skilled multi-tasker manager. Anything less jeopardizes the success of the engagement platform and perhaps the relevance and value of the research itself.At this time, I would like to thank everyone for the privilege and the opportunity of speaking to you on these podcasts. In particular, I want to do a huge shout out to my heroine, Anna, for including me and asking me to do these podcasts. As Anna is moving forward with the pediatric and youth groups, I want a fresh voice to help her with these podcasts. But in any case, I wish Anna all the best as she goes forward with this labor of love. I can't tell you how much time and effort Anna has shown and the passion that she has dedicated to helping all patients engage meaningfully and relevantly with academic partners in research. Thank you. And happy trails, Anna. Anna:Thanks Kathy for this, and all of the other onePERspective's to date. As you know, your encouraging emails summarizing all you learned from the release of this podcast's initial episodes were the impetus for creating the onePERspective segment. I've really enjoyed hearing your reflections and collaborating with you on the creation of these episodes. Even with all your engagement related jet setting, I could also count on you to come through on your episode… and somehow find the time for it. Big hugs to you and I'm glad we have research we're collaborating on together so it's not actually a good bye. Moving forward this season, I'm going to continue with onePERspective but it's taking a different twist. A big reason why I have chosen to focus the remainder of season 3's episodes on engaging children, youth, and families is for my own learning as I expand my research program to focus on these populations. I am currently moving in this direction through a pharmacogenetics study I am collaborating on with my colleague Abdullah Maruf, as well as work I am doing with colleagues to redesign pediatric-to-adult transition care services for youth and families living with congenital heart disease. Sasha Kullman is a talented PhD trainee working under my supervision on the congenital heart disease project. Given her passion and penchant for patient engagement and knowledge translation, I thought that it would be a great opportunity for her to take over onePERspective this season, and offer a trainee perspective on her take-aways from the episodes. She's very brilliant and I can't wait to hear her episode takeaways as her insights always make me think.In the next full episode of asPERusual, I kick off the rest of this season's focus on how to meaningfully engage children, youth, and families in health research. Guests Brianna Hunt, Onalee Garcia-Alecio, and Michelle Roy, will share their experience with engaging in the iCARE study—Canada's largest cohort of youth with type 2 diabetes. We'll also discuss what makes engagement meaningful over time, the value of lived experience, and practical tips for involving youth and families in ways that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and fun.

In this episode of Spooky Coop, Paul and Michelle guide listeners through three remarkable stories of human-to-animal shapeshifting, each coming from separate tribal backgrounds:1. Animals in the desert - An experience told to us by a Hopi Elder where, as a boy, he watched as his father, uncle and their friend perform a ceremony that transforms them. Plus, his father explains to him the reasons for pursuing  such an incredible feat of what can only be described as pure magic.2. The Miraculous Bear - From the Great Plains, this chilling account tells of a man changing into a massive bear in front of a group of tribal members during a special ceremony in the 1930's.3. Careful where you camp - A haunting experience by an Ojibwa man and his friends during a camping trip in Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada. While out traveling through the broad wilderness of the park, Steve and his friends encounter a group of other-worldly bipedal creatures and are attacked during the night at their campsite.As Paul and Michelle unpack these incredible accounts, they discuss the shared themes of sacrifice, spirituality, and the thin boundary between the physical and the supernatural. Could these stories hold clues to a forgotten connection between humans and the animal world? Or are they cautionary tales, warning us of the consequences of tampering with forces beyond our understanding?Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, these stories will make you question just how much we truly know about the mysteries of the human spirit.

'It feels awesome': Heather Boyd makes history as first woman and first Anishinaabe to lead Grand Portage National Monument 

North Star Journey

Play Episode Listen Later May 26, 2023 4:25


A few miles from the Canada border, Heather Boyd walks the grassy trail of the national monument's Ojibwe Village. She passes the soaring pointed timber of the palisade fence that encircles the recreated historic depot, what was once the famed 18th-century cultural crossroads of the Grand Portage Anishinaabe and the fur trade.Boyd then stops in the field where the National Monument hosts the annual Rendezvous Days event. Thousands of visitors flock to the remote site every August for music, camping, reenactments and craft workshops. “This is the encampment area,” Boyd says. “It's wild to see tent upon tent here.” She looks up at the nearby western hills, the site of the Grand Portage Band's annual powwow, also in August.“I'm really looking forward to blending the two events a bit more, the powwow and the Rendezvous here” Boyd says. “Well, it's celebrating both cultures, right? So, being able to encourage not only visitors here, but encourage them to go up to the powwow, too, and have that experience.”Boyd is the new superintendent of the Grand Portage National Monument. She is the first woman and first Anishinaabe person to hold the National Park Service position since the monument was established in 1958. The Anishinaabe have occupied the land since “time immemorial,” as the monument's signage points out.Today, Boyd is wearing a pin given to her by the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, the tribe that has been co-managing the site with the park service for decades. She is also wearing a traditional Native ribbon skirt, striped in red, white and black.  “The ribbon skirt represents resiliency and identity and is just empowering as a woman,” Boyd says, “and a woman in a management position — that I'm the first Anishinaabe and the first woman to ever lead here.” Many say her appointment is a historic moment in the co-stewardship of the monument, which is within the boundaries of the of the Grand Portage Indian Reservation. The Grand Portage Band donated the land to the federal government.“I understand living in a tribal community,” says Boyd, who is an enrolled member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa from Bayfield, Wis. “I think that's one of the things they saw in me.”Less than half a mile up the road, April McCormick sits in the timber building that houses the Grand Portage Reservation Tribal Council, the partner in co-management with the National Park Service. McCormick is the Tribal Council secretary treasurer.“We're really trying to have our leadership be reflective of who we are,” McCormick says.   McCormick says Boyd is a good fit because of her 14-year tenure as an administrative officer for Isle Royale National Park, the Michigan island site in Lake Superior, which is part of the Anishinaabe ancestral homelands. It's less than 40 miles from Grand Portage and on a clear day, you can see it from Boyd's new office.McCormick adds that even though Boyd is from a different Anishinaabe band, she is one of them and the community has welcomed her.“She has a deep understanding of tribal government and protocol,” McCormick says. “And also, just understanding the value of our culture, and traditions, and how we're telling our story for national parks. Whose worldview, whose lenses are we using?”Citing the efforts of the Grand Portage Band, McCormick points to the growing number of Native women working at the national monument. She says the current chief of interpretation Anna Deschampe is the first Grand Portage Band member to fill the position, within the division of interpretation and education. Boyd will work with Deschampe to refine the storytelling at the national monument, from signage and exhibitions to reenactments and workshops. The National Park Service announced Boyd's appointment last summer. She's only recently relocated from Michigan. The choice to wear the ribbon skirt regularly at Grand Portage, instead of the typical green and khaki of the NPS uniforms, is one way she's making an impact on the site's culture.  “Throughout my career with the Park Service, I don't see a lot of Indigenous people,” Boyd says. “As I go to different meetings, I'm the only one in a ribbon skirt in a room. Breaking that barrier so people feel like this is a regular thing means a lot to me.”Boyd points to other Native women in leadership, who in growing numbers in the last few years have been wearing the ribbon skirt in their official capacity in state and national government.White Earth member and Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan often wore a ribbon skirt. And Deb Haaland, who in 2021 became the first Native woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of the Department of the Interior (the department responsible for the National Park Service), wore a traditional ribbon skirt at her swearing-in ceremony in Washington D.C. While Boyd says she still has a lot to learn about the site, she knows she also wants to make an impact by doing more community events, like a recent Ojibwa language roundtable that was hosted in the monument's Heritage Center. The center houses a museum, art gallery and shop; she wants to bring more local artists into the space, too.  Joseph Bauerkemper, professor and director of the Tribal Sovereignty Institute at the University of Minnesota Duluth, says Boyd's appointment is important but not surprising. “The Grand Portage Band has really sophisticated, long-standing, consistent leadership, even when different elected officials and community leaders have come and gone,” Bauerkemper says. “Grand Portage has worked very effectively in partnership with the National Park Service for many years, and so this is not a radical shift in that relationship, but it's a significant improvement in that relationship.”He compares Boyd's appointment to the Biden administration appointment of Haaland. “It's of similar import, because Secretary Haaland brings extensive knowledge and experience to that position” he says. “Native nations don't have to explain to the Secretary of Interior who they are, what they are, what they're up to, and that's a big deal. We can see the same thing going on — sure on a smaller scale, but no less important — at the monument there at Grand Portage.” Grand Portage National Monument is considered a leader in the National Park System for its co-management agreement, which creates a sharing of power and responsibility between the federal government and local tribes. Charles F. Sams III, the current National Park Service director (and the first tribally enrolled member to hold the position), testified before congress in 2022 about Grand Portage.“The stewardship of Grand Portage National Monument exemplifies how successful co-management can be, while infusing valuable dollars into the local Tribal economy,” Sams said.  Boyd also sits on the NPS Tribal Relations Advisory Committee for the Midwest region, which includes superintendents and staff from other parks and sites and meets monthly by video call. At the May meeting, Boyd sat in the conference room of the Heritage Center. St. Croix National Scenic Riverway superintendent Craig Hansen — who is the former superintendent of Grand Portage — was on the call and said Boyd's appointment is significant. “It shows the commitment to that community and that site,” Hansen said. Also on the call was Alisha Deegan, the superintendent of the Knife River Indian Village National History Site in North Dakota. A member of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, Deegan is also working at a federal site in her ancestral homeland. “Having that connection to the land that is beyond government is huge,” Deegan said. “The pride extends beyond her and her family.” Deegan explained that, as a Native person, it can be “really difficult” to work for government, or feel welcome entering a federal building or park, because of the U.S. history of oppression, violating treaties and taking land from Native populations. “Having Indigenous people in leadership positions, there is that permission to come back to sites,” Deegan said. “Elders may come and shares stories they wouldn't have before.” Boyd sits at her desk in her office at the Heritage Center. She is framed by a window that overlooks the Ojibwe Village and the Historic Depot, with Grand Portage Island and Isle Royale appearing as purple streaks in the distance on Lake Superior.  Boyd says she feels like she's home, even though she hasn't lived on her own Red Cliff reservation for 20 years.  “So, when I first came over here, it just felt right,” Boyd says. “When I first started with the Park Service, I wasn't promoting my heritage and my culture because it didn't feel right. Here, I feel like I'm empowered to do that. It feels awesome.” The Grand Portage National Monument grounds are open year-round. The Historic Depot opens for the season Memorial Day weekend. Correction (May 26, 2023): A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the Lieutenant Governor's title. This has been fixed.

It's that time in Pennsylvania!  So while you're out scouting or hunting for turkeys, keep your eyes and nose open for these springtime plants. The pickled leeks go great on a sandwich or make a perfect quick snack.  Read the written version of this recipe as prepared by Kory Slye Rate this Podcast  Listen to our other podcasts here Buy our Small Batch Wild Food Spice Blends  About Wild Leeks: Also known as ramps, wild garlic, wood leeks, ramson, and even very erroneously as spring onion, Allium tricoccum is a type of wild onion or garlic that can be found over much of Canada and the US.  They appear in the early spring in moist and shady woodlands with rich soil and are usually one of the first spring ephemerals to actually show up.  Popping up around March in Appalachia, you can expect to see them around the Great Lakes in April and in early May if you go further north. The plant can be found from Nova Scotia down to Georgia north to Hudson's Bay, and west to around Iowa and Manitoba.  The plant starts in the spring by sending out one to three broad green leaves from each bulb, which will be shallowly buried under the soil. The leaves are usually around 20cm or 8 inches long and have a red or burgundy section between the bulb and the main leaf. Bulbs tend to grow in bunches of two to six.  Clusters of bulbs will usually put out just one flowering stem once the leaves die back and the plant will flower as early summer progresses. The flowers, a white umbel much like many other allium flowers, give way to shiny black seeds before the plant disappears again until springtime.  Ramps will always smell strongly of garlic when lightly crushed, which is a great way to tell them apart from poisonous look-alikes like lily of the valley, or less dangerous plants like trout lily. If it doesn't smell oniony or garlicky, then it's not a ramp! Both the leaves and the bulbs of ramps are edible and they have a very interesting flavor that is somewhere between garlic, leeks, and onions, but with an added woodsiness that's hard to explain.  Extremely versatile in the kitchen, they can be inserted into basically any recipe using onions or garlic and will amp up the flavor beyond what either onions or garlic could have done.  First Nations peoples would often use them medicinally, with the Chippewa using the roots in a preparation that would induce vomiting, the Iroquois using a ramp tonic to treat intestinal worms, and the Cherokee using a similar tonic to treat colds, and the juice from the bulbs to treat earaches.  They were eaten as food as well, usually boiled or fried on their own or with meat as a flavourful and healthy springtime delicacy. The Ojibwa people would dry the plants out for use in the winter. I bet the burst of flavor the dried plant would add to winter stews was highly prized! It's said that the name for Chicago actually comes from the Me-nominee Nation's word for the plant, shika'ko. Apparently, wild leeks used to be very abundant where Chicago now stands.   The people who settled into the Appalachian mountains quickly took to the ramps that covered the forest floor there. They would often fry them in animal fat, but would also use them raw in a salad, or cook them up in potato or egg dishes.  There would often be springtime festivals celebrating the ramp in Appalachia, and the plant was once known as a bit of an Appalachian vegetable even though it grew in many other places.   About Adam Berkelmans: Adam Berkelmans, also known as The Intrepid Eater, is a passionate ambassador for real food and a proponent of nose-to-tail eating.

It was a crime that shook the art world. One hundred million dollars in suspected forgeries, over 1000 more fakes seized and 8 arrests in a far-reaching forgery ring of renowned Ojibwa artist Norval Morrisseau's work. Police call it one of the largest art fraud schemes in history. But it's not just Morrisseau who has faced fakes and forgeries. Indigenous art makers and supporters all across Turtle Island say it is rampant and the cost is not just their livelihood – it is their culture. Indigenous artists say copycat art is more common than you think and copyright laws must evolve to protect them. Richard Hunt comes from a long line of Northwest Coast artists. The 73 year old Kwaguilth artist started carving at the age of 13 alongside his father, Henry Hunt. Richard says for about as long as he's been a carver, he has seen his work copied. He says it is worse than stealing art: it is stealing cultural property. It was a design meant to support Residential School Survivors but the artist who created the West Coast stylized hands says people are ripping it off for profit. K'ómoks and Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw visual artist Andy Everson and his wife Erin Brillon, Haida and Cree and owner of Totem Design House, have experienced the damage of copycats firsthand. They see websites selling inauthentic Indigenous art and design pop up on an almost daily basis. The husband and wife team work to educate others about the importance of buying authentic Indigenous art. As the first art historian to be appointed to the Senate of Canada, Senator Patricia Bovey champions Canadian art. But she also advocates for better protections for Indigenous artists' work. Currently, there are few laws preventing counterfeit and fake Indigenous art in Canada but Senator Bovey hopes to change that by pushing changes to Canada's copyright laws and setting up a fund that would help artists go after art fakesters.

Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales

Today we're going to talk about a little unknown creature to many of you, that some call the Water Panther. The Ojibwa call it  Mishipeshu. They say the entity lives near Michipicoten and Manitoulin Island in Lake Superior, and is often regarded as a symbol of the lake's power. Mishipeshu is able to cause storms, waves, and whirlpools. The water spirit as some call it travels through underwater tunnels, speaking in a roaring hiss that sounds like rushing water. Mishipeshu is an amalgamation of many different animal parts. Sort of like a Frankenstein's monster of all the animals you might find in the Great Lakes Region.  Some say Mishipeshu has the head and paws of an enormous cat, the horns of a bison, the scaly body of a snake (or the feathered body of a bird), a spiky back and tail, and any other number of contrasting characteristics.  Some say he is about the size of a lynx or mountain lion, others say he is unfathomably large.Don't forget to get in on our new sticker giveaway only on Instagram.

William Kent Krueger is the author of the Cork O’Connor series of mystery books about a detective who is part Irish, part Ojibwa and who solves crimes on the frozen tundra of northern Minnesota. Eighteen books in, it is one of the most beloved active crime series. Book eighteen, Lightning Strike, came out last fall, and the next iteration, Fox Creek, is due out autumn 2022. As with each of his last nine books, this new title is sure to be a New York Times best seller. Of course, some of you might know Krueger for his recent standalone novels, This Tender Land and Ordinary Grace—books with a touch of mystery, a dose of Americana, and a healthy serving of Krueger’s customary high-octane prose. Krueger joined the show recently to chat about the books he loves the most: the titles he loved as a kid and that inspire him as a writer today. He’s a born conversationalist and I think his love of books, stories, and his home shine through in this chat. Be prepared to add a few titles to that ever-growing TBR list you keep.

142: Understanding the Impact of Identity for Nonprofit Leaders (Nneka Allen)SUMMARYWe are all responsible for the environments we create.  And they should all be equitable. Nonprofit leaders clearly understand the impact of identity on an organizational culture and equity outcomes.  In episode #142 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, Nneka Allen, a descendant of the Underground Railroad, shares her remarkable story which began years ago with her freedom-seeking ancestors and ultimately set her on the path of community movements, social change and a desire to pursue justice. Now, after more than two decades as a fundraising professional in the nonprofit sector - a predominantly white field - Nneka embraced the powerful and tragic nature of her ancestors and founded The Empathy Agency.  As someone who understands better than most the power of storytelling, she demonstrates how intentional communication of mission and vison will deepen the connection with donors.  She also identifies three fundamental traits true leaders with a passion for change embody.  As a nonprofit leader you'll learn how to deliver more fairly on your mission through a better understanding of a dominant cultures' impact on the organizational culture. Patton and Nneka discuss how leadership teams can take purposeful steps to implement racial equity throughout the entire organization.  Finally, they discuss Collecting Courage: Joy, Pain, Freedom, Love, an anthology by 15 black nonprofit professionals and their experiences enduring racism in the philanthropic sector edited by Nneka, a powerful and enlightening must read for every leader regardless of where you are on your path.ABOUT NNEKANneka Allen is a Black woman, a descendant of the Underground Railroad, an Ojibwa of Anderson Nation and a sixth generation Canadian. Born in the 70's, Nneka was raised during a time of Black power and acute political awareness. As a lover of justice, Nneka has inspired philanthropy as a fundraising executive for over 20 years. She is the principal and founder of The Empathy Agency, where she helps organizations deliver more fairly on their missions and visions by coaching teams to explore the impact identity has on culture and equity outcomes. Nneka is the founder of the Black Canadian Fundraisers' Collective. She is also an author and joint editor of a book featuring the first-person narratives of 15 Black contributors, mainly fundraisers from the US and Canada called Collecting Courage: Joy, Pain, Freedom, Love. Nneka's ultimate joy is her daughter Destiny who along with her husband Skylar, are continuing their family legacy of philanthropic activism in Canada.EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCES Disorientation: Being Black in the World by Ian WilliamsThe Empathy AgencyBraiding Sweetgrass,  My Grandmother's Hands

Louise Erdrich's first novel for young readers was published in 1999, and it features an Ojibwa family who live near present-day Lake Superior in 1847. The book is often presented as an alternative to Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series, but Erdrich's novel is really an accomplishment that's in a league of its own. We discuss what makes The Birchbark House so effective, and how it stands in contrast to a long literary tradition of racist children's books about Native Americans that rely on stereotypes rather than authentic and empathetic portrayals.

After spending over 30 years leading multi-billion-dollar brands in the fashion industry, and despite his tremendous success, Rob Smith felt he wasn't doing what he was supposed to do. During the day, he was a successful designer in corporate America, and at night, he would work with the LGBTQIA+ youth community. Rob found the answer he was looking for after a shamanic experience, an epiphany during a trip to Peru. That day Rob knew he had to create a gender-free, non-binary shopping environment, which would be the first of many steps to creating The Phluid Project. Rob Smith is a Futurist, Activist, Educator, Retailer, Entrepreneur, Community Builder, Speaker, and the Founder and CEO of The Phluid Project. After his trip to Peru, Rob reconnected with his heritage as a third-generation Native American from the Ojibwa tribe, which inspired him to merge his 30 plus years of experience in fashion with decades of fighting for human rights and social equality.In this episode, we talk about Rob's extraordinary journey that led to creating The Phluid Project, a space that today is a little about selling shirts and a lot about educating, adding value, and advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community. We explore Rob's vision, ideas for the future, and his view on the best way to be allies of underrepresented communities. We also talk about how interesting it would be to eliminate gender from language, especially in the workplace, where formalities can lead to misgendering gender-nonconforming folks. Some Questions We Ask:Could you tell us more about you and about The Phluid Project, please? (6:34)Can you talk about how the initial vision of creating a physical space collided with COVID and what you had to do to pivot? (11:25)What is your bigger vision?

On this episode of 'the Nostalgic Vagabond' podcast, I have two guests on to chat. And these two guests are zooming-in from two different locations on either side of Canada. Today's guests are Matt Sebastian and Shaun McCord.  Matt and Shaun are a cycling partnership. Together, they crossed the whole country of Canada, east to west. More or less. Shaun is from the west coast and Matt is from western-ish Canada but their journey together started on the eastern side of Canada, in a hostel in Halifax, Nova Scotia many years ago.  In conversation, we talk about whose crazy idea (10:50) it was initially to attempt such a daring adventure to cycle from the eastern tip of Canada, all the way to the west coast.  As with any trip, there are fears that have to be considered (15:35) and how these might be overcome. We talk about the unique route (18:50) that Matt and Shaun ended up taking and some of the picturesque vistas (28:50) they passed through, notably Manitoulin Island on Lake Huron.  On a mega-long trip, such as this one, there will always be those inevitable scary moments (39:20) but I was caught off guard by what Shaun and Matt had to say about witnessing an awful racism encounter one evening in Manitoba. But on a more positive note, Matt Sebastian's life changed on this trip as he met his now-wife en route (44:50) in Ottawa.  With so many weeks on the highways together I was curious to hear what Shaun and Matt experienced once they had finally reached the finish line (48:00), so to speak. I was confident that both Matt and Shaun would have comments about how this epic road trip - by peddle power - was life-changing (51:00) with countless opportunities for personal growth. And I didn't expect such heartfelt comments from both guys saying how much their riding buddy meant to the trip and their relationship in general... Enjoy.   Shaun wanted me to make a note that he made a mistake about cultural greetings during the "Fav 4" at (56:20) and he actually texted me the correction, "Miigetwetch is not a Cree greeting expression, it is an Ojibwa word which means - thank you." Cheers Shaun :)     A big thanks to Tom Forfar for creating the title tracks for the podcast series. And, any comments or feedback feel free to email the_n_v@yahoo.com

// Introduction:Today it's all about YOU. Your higher self, your intuition and how you can learn to tap in and turn on anytime anywhere. We are always being guided to live in our life's alignment, many of us just don't know when or how to listen to the signs from our intuition, angels, or spirit guides. Everyone's had that gut reaction, and through this podcast, you can learn how to listen to it, instead of ignoring those butterflies or inkling to avoid that person or business deal. It's your birthright to live a fulfilling and abundant life. You're listening to these words, in this moment, right here and right now for a reason. Learn how to trust and celebrate the little moments of your guided life by tuning in and tapping into Source. You'll discover your cosmic self, and never feel alone again. If you turn inwards, you'll discover, if you haven't already, that you possess a powerful guidance system that has been within you all along. We are all blessed with an intuitive guidance system and the more we learn to listen to it and use it, the more confident and tactful we will become at reassuring ourselves throughout the journey of this life.We are always being guided, but the more friends, clients and family members I talk to, the more I realize that people don't always know how to listen to that intuition. According to Deepak Chopra, “Intuition is an intelligence beyond your rational mind.”And your rational mind, or conscious mind, is often led by the ego. So It's important to separate yourself from your ego in order to listen to the signs. So in short, Intuition is the way the subconscious mind communicates with the conscious mind. The information that informs ‘that feeling' is real. It's like any other decision but the workings of it – the collection, the storage, the putting together – happen outside of our conscious mind.I personally receive signs from many places, and you likely do too, you just aren't looking for them. I resonate with signs from the universe (sometimes I call this source, or even god, and you can call it Jesus, or Buddha or whatever resonates with you as your higher power, the denomination does not matter). I also get info and downloads from my spirit guides, guardian angels, and archangels (which you all also have, too), and last but not least, I also lean on my personal intuition for info and intel on what to do and how to do it, which is what we will be talking about today. It's like having an invisible force of spiritual guiding gurus always on your side, helping and facilitating you in every aspect of your life. We'll talk more about spirit guides and angels in a future episode, but they do lend a bit of a hand in your invisible intuition, so we'll touch on it a bit today too. Certainly, you've had that intuitive gut reaction, or heard the little voice in your head telling you to do or not to do something. But ask yourself this: How often do you lean in and listen to that intuitive feeling?// Method to Manifesting 101:Thankfully, we all come equipped with an intuition. Many of us may already have a strong connection with it, while many of us are unaware that we have within us an inner wisdom that is always on our side.Jiddu Krishnamurti says, “Intuition is the whisper of the soul.” which I love. Often times, the messages you receive will be a whisper. It will be quiet but omnipresent. It will be meaningful, and full of intel. Sometimes, though, it may not be a whisper… it may be a yell, or a cry, or a repetitive sign you keep seeing. It's important to recognize the different ways your messages come in. Everyone receives and understands signs differently, so unlocking your intuitive “code” can be a super fun process!Taking the steps and efforts to cultivate a more intimate relationship with our inner guidance and wisdom is a journey of self-exploration and empowerment.Honing into and honoring the signs from your emotional body. Investigating potential underlying stories and triggers of physical ailments. Marveling at the magical coincidences of your life. Making time to clear mental chatter to deeply listen to your inner desires. Bringing healing love to unprocessed wounds. Honoring the process of deepening our relationship with our intuition is a journey towards living a more rich, meaningful and connected life.Alyse Parker, founder of Alignment Accelerator, has some wonderful step by step guidance I'd love to share with you today in this method to manifesting segment. In it, I'll outline 6 ways to listen to your intuition, plus a few action items I recommend you start to incorporate into your daily routines... and once you do, your magic and potential will expand beyond your wildest dreams.1. Trust Your GutWe all know the sensation of when something doesn't feel right. When our circumstances are just wrong, it's common to feel a strong urge or twisting of our gut. This is often the most obvious if not first telltale sign that our intuition is tugging at the sleeve of our attention. If something doesn't feel good, right or just simply off, perhaps your gut is telling you it's time for a change. It's so important to always pay attention to your gut. When the neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in your gut fire up, you may be feeling either “butterflies” or queasy sensations. Pay attention to those. It's no accident we use the term intuition and gut feeling interchangeably because science has now shown us that our gut has a brain of its own, a second brain so to speak. In fact, our gut has an entire network of neurotransmitters called the enteric nervous system. Be honest with yourself and acknowledge those unsettled feelings; they are there to guide and support you. Listen to them. Follow the hunches until your situation feels right again. Trust your emotional compass. How you feel is your greatest indicator of whether your choices are in alignment with your intuitive wisdom or not.MINDFUL ACTION: Try this with little things at first, see if making a left or a right turn has a different feeling in your stomach. If you immediately are pulled to “turn right instead of left” on the drive home, listen. The more you prime your mind to listening to your initial “gut” reactions, the easier it will be to listen on bigger decisions.2. Follow Energy ShiftsOne way to measure whether you've acted in accordance to your intrinsic knowledge or not is to tune into your energy levels. Chances are you've experienced the feeling of having a weight lifted from your shoulders immediately after making a long-awaited decision. Maybe you sensed a return of joy or energy, charisma and physical stamina that you had felt severed from for some time. How do you feel around a co-worker or potential customer? Drained or energized? Using your intuition to read people can make you a more effective leader or negotiator in your business dealings. If these shifts are present, rejoice in the knowing that you have acted from a place of alignment with your higher, true self.MINDFUL ACTION: Next time you're faced with a decision, see if the weight of it feels heavy or light on your shoulders. That's a quick indicator of an energy read in a room or a situation.3. Tune To Your BodyIs a recurring situation in your life triggering a tight feeling in your chest? Or maybe there's a circumstance that sparks that sinking, chronic stomach aches? If your reality isn't paralleled to your innermost longings, your intuition will use your physical body as a medium to bring your attention to what desperately wants to be seen. As many of us have a tendency to ignore our internal guidance system, the repressed messages will develop into more severe symptoms… anything from anxiety and depression, fatigue, migraines, nausea and other physical ailments and dis-ease. What are you experiencing in your body? And what is it trying to communicate to you? What, if any, repressed messages, urges and needs are underlying the physical discomfort you may be experiencing in your life? Open yourself to positive, curious inquiry with the knowing that you intuitively hold the knowledge to be your own healer and transform your life.MINDFUL ACTION: What consistent ailments are coming up in your body? Think about why they may be affecting you, and try reading the book “Heal Your Body” by Louise Hay. In it, you'll find ailments, the connection to personal or professional lockages, and provides mantras for you to say daily to eradicate any physical symptoms you're having.4. Pay Attention to the SynchronicitiesThe Universe will frequently gift us with signs of assurance. Things like seeing 11:11 daily, or always getting lucky pennies are all signs to tap in. Even as we dream, manifest and shoot off rockets of desires through our thoughts and beliefs, the Universe supports us in turn by sending us the circumstances, people, opportunities and situations that will bring our advancement in life. Be present in your day-to-day activities so that you can see the meaningful patterns and coincidences when they occur. These signs can be messages from your higher self that you are on the right path. I also think these signs can also be messages from your guardian angels, archangels, or spirit guides nudging you on the right path, forcing you to listen to something being said, or showing you the way.MINDFUL ACTION: Next time you see a recurring sign, say out loud, “what would you like to show me” and focus on the next immediate statement that comes into your mind as an answer. Without thinking, without analyzing. Just the first thing that comes to mind.5. Get QuietIn our world of constant chatter and content bombardment there are multiple forces grabbing for our attention, and it can become challenging to tap into the voice or sensation of our intuition. When we are up against making a decision, it's important to create room for clarity. When you allow your mind to rest, the mud of many thoughts settles, and your mind becomes an open and clear channel for your thoughts and emotions to flow through.Step away from your current situation and bring yourself to a state of mind and location where you can decompress and find some quiet, even just for a few minutes. Dissolve any sense of pressure by focusing on deep, elongated breaths. In this spaciousness, we can dissolve the clutter of our fears, insecurities, doubts and uncertainty to hear the deep, confident, clear knowing of our inner wisdom.In this expansiveness, you have the lucidity necessary to listen, with all your might, to what your higher self is telling you. Even if you are not pressed to make a difficult choice in your life, making it a regular practice to quiet the mind is a great approach to deepening your connection with your intuition. Make space to get quiet. I'll meditate for a few minutes, and just see what the first things that come to mind are - they are often short messages from my intuition and guides telling me what to do. Also if that seems too hard at first, try to just free-write. Journal in a quiet room with relaxing music playing and write quick without much thought to the words, just the first things that come to mind. You'll often receive much clarity from this practice as well.MINDFUL ACTION: Try free-write, meditation journaling for 5 min per day before bed.6. Do Your Shadow Work“You will never follow your own inner voice until you clear up the doubts in your mind.”–Roy T. Bennett. In order for us to experience a clear, uninterrupted dialogue with our intuition, we must clear, touch and heal the parts of ourselves we would rather pretend did not exist. The shadow is a term coined by psychologist Carl Jung, and it refers to our deepest wounds. The wounds from our past or present that have us believing we are flawed, unlovable, undeserving people. (ps. Here's a secret, you don't need to live by those narratives, you can remove the blockages by clearing the shadows. Think of it like mental spring cleaning. Shadow work can support you in embracing all aspects of yourself. This experience of self-acceptance is essential for you to love and trust yourself more, which puts you more in touch with your intuition. By communing with the aspects of ourselves that we attempt to reject and hide, we heighten our awareness of their habitual patterns and thoughts. In regards to tapping into our intuitive powers, this awareness will allow us to skillfully decipher between limiting beliefs, judgments and criticisms from the internal guide that is edging us towards appropriate discernment and caution. As we venture down the path of healing our shadow self and past wounds, we can realize that our history may be projecting onto our present moment. By looking into your shadow work, you will heighten your ability to decipher between pained, habitual thinking and our inner wisdom illuminating our path.MINDFUL ACTION: Try allocating an hour a week to cleansing shadow work.Remember: You possess all the reassurance, encouragement and answers to all your questions. All you need to do is look inside.// Ancient Ancestors:The Medicine Wheel, or Sacred Hoop, is a Native American approach to energy and intuitive healing that can be used to resolve post-traumatic stress, anxiety, grief, and health issues. It can also be used to call upon your higher power to make decisions for healing and conflict within and outside the body mind. The Medicine Wheel way of healing reconnects you to your intuition, nature, your ancestors, and the infinite circle of life. It guides you to walk your sacred path in balance and with love in your heart.So what exactly is the Medicine Wheel?The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Native American culture thinks that everything has a spirit — a voice, a meaning, and a power. They call this Orenda and it's the basis of energy. When we use this energy properly and live a life in balance, we can cultivate a “good mind.”The Shift Network says that The Medicine Wheel is an ancient symbol of the sacred hoop of life — or the circle of life — in Native American culture. It has been used for thousands of years. Different Nations have different ways of interpreting the Medicine Wheel — the colors, specific uses, and meanings…The Lakota, Ojibwa, and Cree Nations, (just to name a few), have researched and used the Medicine Wheel in therapy for PTSD, trauma release, stress management, problem solving, conflict resolution, business consulting, and more. There are some basics of the Medicine Wheel that are the same across cultures and others that are different. How you use the Medicine Wheel can be highly personal, too.Like Chinese medicine, Native American medicine and culture look to our Mother the Earth for guidance. Observing patterns, shapes, rhythms, cycles, and all of life's natural patterns is part of how we are guided.Circles are important in Native American culture. They are how we connect to nature and all of life. When we see everything as a circle, we can appreciate that the cycle of life has no beginning and no end. Within nature and the human body, we can see many circles represented, like cells, bones, the system of circulation (blood and lymph). Even our DNA consists of circular, spiral patterns (the double helix).Medicine Wheel Image Linked HereImage Credit: Sage GoddessOk, so let's dig into The Seven Directions, and how to read, navigate, and use a medicine wheel.Seven is also a sacred number in Native American culture. Within the Medicine Wheel are the following seven directions. Although there are 7 in total, obviously the 4 main ones are north, south, east and west. Each come with various totems, focuses, elements and herbs. Different tribes have slightly different wheels, but I'm going to focus on the most commonly used wheel today.To use the medicine wheel, I would recommend you say in your head or out loud whatever you need help with or guidance on, it can be an informal or formal question, you can write it down and say a little prayer, or just riff. There's no right or wrong. I'd say something like:“I call forth and open the gates of the east, of air, of the rising sun, the spring time. I call forth your protection and guidance and intuitive support and ask for your guardianship of my journey and current questions. All hail and give thanks to the direction of the east.”Another way can be - to have a little alter or offering plate for that direction in your room. Or You can make your own circle with rocks in the backyard to meditate in, or sit in and face that direction when asking for support...Or simply sit and face the direction wherever you are while you write or sit calmly to meditate to ask for assistance. Now onto the directions themselves...EastThe East is often where we enter a circle and begin our journey. It represents the mental body, childhood, and the spring season. Think about spring as becoming aware of new creation, when ideas show up within your consciousness. It's when something seems to come from nothing or light comes from darkness. It's where we create our vision. If you feel empty, you can look to the East to bring awareness. If you are stressed, you look to the East to heal from trauma (or PTSD). This is where we seek purification, healing, and renewal.SouthThe South represents the emotional body, adolescence, and the summer season. It's where we work out our emotions and relationships with others. We experiment with people, ideas, and experiences. It is the time for taking our vision and testing it out (or going on a vision quest). We test out our values and identity to understand what works for us vs. what others teach us. As we look to the South, we can move from confusion to wisdom. It's also a place where we learn patience and commitment, moving from feeling like we have to have a result right now, to being willing to put in the time and work for those results. If you need guidance on a relationship issue with family, friends or coworkers, look to the South for support.WestThe West represents the physical body, adulthood, and the fall season. It is where our ideas are coming into physical form and we can see them in action. It's a time when we recognize that we have to show up and do the work to create the results we want in our lives. We begin to understand and honor that we are physical beings on an important journey. It is a time to right the ship, get unstuck, shake things off, and move forward in our lives. This often includes letting go of limiting beliefs and holding true to our values. We learn that it's important to honor and take care of ourselves because we now know the difference between self-care and being selfish. If we are willing to respect ourselves and others, we also bring humility to the wisdom of maturity, which is the goal. If you need guidance on finding the right course of action in life or a circumstance, you know kind of cleansing that shadow work we talked about earlier… let the West help you remove the past to outline your future (either immediate or long term).NorthThe North represents the spiritual body, the elder, and the winter season. The North is the true source of all things, Creator, Orenda, or Great Spirit energy. In this direction, we understand the process of change and recognize that we find our place in the world by seeing things through to their completion. We work on caring vs. apathy and we realize that we can't receive care and love from others until we care for and love ourselves. In this direction, we often find clarity and deep wisdom. We no longer fear not having the answers because we trust being led. If you need help with self-care or caring for others, look to the North for guidance.DownThe downward direction represents Mother Earth and our connection to her, along with our connection to the soil. We learn that our Mother, the Earth, is always there supporting us. In this direction, we realize we have the opportunity for growth and as we feel our connection to Mother Earth, we are always safe. If you are not feeling supported, heard, or helped in your journey, look down to the earth for grounding guidance.UpThis upward direction represents Father Sky and your higher self. Looking in this direction, you recognize that you are part of the circle of life, the intersection of eternity. This is where you learn to become who you are and give of yourself from this place. If you want to connect to your intuition and higher self, look up and ask for daily support to awaken and tap in.CenterThe center of the circle is you. It's where you realize that you are in the locus of control. You can shed everything others have told you. You stop looking to other people to tell you what to do and listen to your own body and inner wisdom. You focus on being who you are with authenticity. Feeling yourself in the center of the circle can be tremendously transformational because you can look to all other directions and honor all emotions without fearing the negative ones. This is where you can find meaning on your journey, even if you are in a phase of your life that is particularly difficult. Find your inner strength and trust that your wellbeing is in your hands. Similar to up, looking within, to your center will also help you connect with your intuition. Put both hands on your heart as you close your eyes and focus on your center, which will remind you of your strength if you are feeling weak.The Medicine Wheel is represented in a circle to remind us of this continuous cycle. We are taught that this is the circle our ancestors walked. In this circle, we carry our ancestors and their strength within us. We carry their lessons and their dreams. This reminds us that we are never alone. It reminds us that we can call on our ancestors for guidance because they've walked the circle for thousands of years before us. This deep history is very grounding and can provide support and guidance through trauma, stress, or grief.I'll be sure to link a photo of the wheel in the episode notes, and I'll be sharing info on instagram for guidance and coursework on this too!// Mindful & Metaphysical:Interestingly enough, science shows there is retinol tissue in the location of your “third eye” that has neurotransmitters, the same connective receptors that speak to your brain (yes, the same way your eyes do to show visual cues). So we literally have a third eye, it's not just a woo-woo expression save for yogis and meditation gurus. By accessing your pineal gland, and working with your third eye, you can unlock your inner consciousness and intuition. You'll be shown ways to let life in, and feel supported in every aspect of your life, while having your deepest desires manifested.Researchers at Leeds University analyzed a hefty pile of research papers on intuition. They concluded that intuition is a very real psychological process where the brain uses past experiences and cues from the self and the environment to make a decision. The decision happens so quickly that it doesn't register on a conscious level. Intuition exists in all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, and the more we can learn about it, the more we can use it to shape our lives for the better.Basically, the human brain has two ‘operating systems'. The first is quick, instinctual and effortless. This is where our intuition lies. Intuition works by drawing on patterns collected by our experience and when we have to make a quick decision about whether something is real, fake, feels good, feels bad, right or wrong, we draw on these patterns. It all happens ‘offline', outside our conscious awareness. The second operating system is slower to respond. It's more analytical and deliberate and it's conscious.Science has found real evidence to support the existence of intuition. There was aw wonderful study performed called, “Deciding advantageously before knowing the advantageous strategy” which showed how the intuitive part of our brain knows the right answer long before the more analytical part.In this study, participants played a card game which, unknown to the participants, was rigged from the beginning. Participants had to choose from one of two decks of cards. One was rigged to provide big wins, then big losses. The other – small gains but hardly any losses.The participants reported that after 50 cards, they had a hunch about which deck was safer. After 80 they were able to explain the difference between the two decks.But here's where it gets interesting – after only 10 cards, the sweat glands on the palms of their hands opened whenever they took from the dangerous deck. It was then that participants started to prefer the safer deck but there was no conscious awareness that this was happening. So, before the analytical part of their brain knew what was going on, the subjects' intuition guided them towards a better decision. Pretty cool, right?I also want to share insight from a great Forbes article, where Dr. Judith Orloff MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA and author of Guide To Intuitive Health and The Empath's Survival Guide has a private practice where she works with women executives who come to her to develop their intuition. They see it as a ‘superpower' to use in all decisions at work as well as a guide for how to be good leaders and organizers.According to Dr. Orloff, scientists believe intuition operates through the entire right side of our brain, the brain's hippocampus and through our gut (the digestive system has neurons as well). And this is where it gets interesting for us ladies. Women's corpus callosum, the connective white matter that connects our left and right brain hemispheres together, is thicker than men's. This more substantial brain super highway gives us women better and faster abilities to access each hemisphere, further integrating our emotion and gut feelings with the more logical left hemisphere into our decision making process. Basically women's brains have superpowers and are actually optimized for rapid intuitive decision making. No offense to the boys, certainly they have intuitions, and strong ones at that, they may just have to work on thickening their corpus callosum to connect their hemispheres and bring on more intuitive guidance!- - - - - - - - - - -As always, thank you for reading along, listening to, sharing, and subscribing, and don't forget to stay Mindful & Divine.x.shanaMindful Divine WebsitePodcast • YouTube • Book • InstagramQuestions?
