Grace L. Dillon is an American academic and author. She is a professor in the Indigenous Nations Studies Program, in the School of Gender, Race, and Nations, at Portland State University. She received her PhD in literary studies with an emphasis in sixteenth-century literature, and her recent research regards Science fiction studies, especially the use of science fiction by indigenous peoples around the world. Similar to the concept of Afrofuturism, Dillon is best known for coining the term Indigenous Futurisms, which is a movement consisting of art, literature and other forms of media which express Indigenous perspectives of the past, present and future in the context of science fiction and related sub-genres. Dillon is the editor of Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction, which is the first anthology of Indigenous science fiction short stories, published by the University of Arizona Press in 2012. Previously, Dillon has edited Hive of Dreams: Contemporary Science Fiction from the Pacific Northwest, which was published in 2003 by Oregon State University Press. This is an anthology of science fiction from writers living in the Pacific Northwest, and features works from authors such as Greg Bear, Octavia Butler, and Molly Gloss. She also coedited The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms with Taryne Jade Taylor, Isiah Lavender III, and Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay. Here, we discuss with Grace her origins into science fiction and the mentorships she received from the distinguished feminist science fiction writer, Ursula K. LaGuin. We define the concept of Indigenous Futurisms and its origins, taking time to understand the representation of the future and of tradition and what indigenous scientists have taught us about environmental sustainability. She also discusses the genre in other media, including film, television, and graphic novels, all of which are experiencing the growth of native contributions in recent years.Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:In the article that inspired the episode, friend of the podcast Jeff Yang wrote about indigenous responses to James Cameron's Avatar:Opinion: The awkward truth about the new ‘Avatar' is far bigger than its bottom line | CNNGrace Dillon BooksWalking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigeneous Science FictionThe Routledge Handbook on Co-FuturismsHer Mentor:Ursula K.

De'Anthony Jones, a former President of the Environmental Students Organization at Sacramento State, Chloe Maxmin, co-founder of Divest Harvard, and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, hip-hop artist and Youth Director of Earth Guardians, say there's no better time to be born than now because this generation gets to rewrite history.

Author and Professor of Education, Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows), and author and Professor Emerita of Psychology Darcia Narvaez have both written and lectured extensively on the need to integrate Indigenous worldviews into every aspect of society—from education to sustainability, wellness, and justice. In this episode, Four Arrows and Darcia offer a conversational exploration of their most recent collaboration as editors of the anthology, Restoring the Kinship Worldview, which presents the wisdom of Indigenous worldviews and how embracing these precepts can nourish our individual and collective lives in these challenging times through 28 powerful excerpted passages from Indigenous leaders including Mourning Dove, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Winona LaDuke, and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez.

“If we want to address the climate crisis, we have to heal our relationship with the land. And part of that looks like returning lands to indigenous people.”Within the movement to solve the climate crisis, there is a generational divide. Established leaders are doggedly working within the system. But younger activists want FASTER progress — and deeper changes.After all, young people will have to face the greatest effects of climate change. They feel the URGENCY — and thus often have some of the boldest, most innovative solutions.For example: Van's guest this week, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, believes that we need to return land back to indigenous stewardship. Xiuhtezcatl is 22 years-old, and he has been an environmentalist and climate activist since he was a child. Xiuhtezcatl shares how his indigenous roots have shaped his activism. A rising star (a term he hates), he is popularizing ideas that may help redefine how we think of the climate crisis.Get ready to go deep! This isn't a surface debate about the Left versus Right. It's a passionate discussion about the land itself — and what a new generation believes it will take for humanity to survive.New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.What assumptions are you challenging? What do you wish officials knew about your own community? Call 347-770-2785 and leave Van a voicemail. Your comment or question will be recorded, and may be played and answered on a future episode of Uncommon Ground!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Four Arrows and Darcia Narvaez discuss their new book, Restoring the Kinship Worldview. Learn more about worldview and discover Four Arrows' Indigenous Worldview Chart on Kindred here: https://www.kindredmedia.org/glossary/indigenous-worldview/ The book features selected speeches from Indigenous leaders around the world--necessary wisdom for our times, nourishment for our collective, and a path away from extinction toward a sustainable, interconnected future. Indigenous worldviews, and the knowledge they confer, are critical for human survival and the wellbeing of future generations. Editors Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez present 28 powerful excerpted passages from Indigenous leaders, including Mourning Dove, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Winona LaDuke, and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez. Accompanied by the editors' own analyses, each chapter reflects the wisdom of Indigenous worldview precepts like: • Egalitarian rule versus hierarchical governance • A fearless trust in the universe, instead of a fear-based culture • The life-sustaining role of ceremony • Emphasizing generosity and the greater good instead of pursuing selfish goals and for personal gain • The laws of nature as the highest rules for living The editors emphasize our deep need to move away from the dominant Western paradigm--one that dictates we live without strong social purpose, fails to honor the earth as sacred, leads with the head while ignoring the heart, and places individual “rights” over collective responsibility. Restoring the Kinship Worldview is rooted in an Indigenous vision and strong social purpose that sees all life forms as sacred and sentient--that honors the wisdom of the heart, and grants equal standing to rights and responsibilities. Inviting readers into a world-sense that expands beyond perceiving and conceiving to experiencing and being, Restoring the Kinship Worldview is a salve for our times, a nourishment for our collective, and a holistic orientation that will lead us away from extinction toward an integrated, sustainable future.
One of the major issues we face is the climate crisis, and it's a problem that affects all of us as well as future generations. This week we take a look back at past guests who are paving unique approaches towards climate restoration. Xander chatted with Ibrahim AlHusseini, founder FullCycle, a funding organization accelerating climate restoring technologies, and Justin Kamine, whose family business innovated clean steam, founded KDC Earth and Upgrade. Xander also went beyond the business world with environmentalist, artist, musician, and 2019 TIME's Next 100, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez.

Critical Zones | Terrestrische Universität [04.06.2020] Zoom-Diskussion mit dem Regisseur des Films und Seraphine Meya, freie Kunstvermittlerin am ZKM. »Climate Warriors« zeigt, wie die Energiewende gelingen kann. Der Dokumentarfilm von Carl-A. Fechner gibt den Menschen eine Stimme, die für eine nachhaltige und gerechte Zukunft kämpfen. Ein ermutigendes Plädoyer für Frieden und soziale Gerechtigkeit. Das Screening ist Teil der Terrestrischen Universität am ZKM. 100 Prozent erneuerbare Energie – das ist technisch längst möglich. Doch die weltweite Energiewende stockt, denn mit ihr versiegen die Geldströme von Kohle, Gas und Erdöl. Wie können wir der Gier der Energiekonzerne trotzen und den Blick auf die Zukunft des Planeten richten? Eine globale Veränderung kann nur durch eine Bewegung von unten entstehen! In seinem neuen Dokumentarfilm »Climate Warriors. Der Kampf um die Zukunft unseres Planeten« verbindet Vordenker Carl-A. Fechner die stärksten Szenen aus seiner Erfolgs-Doku »Power to Change« mit neu entdeckten mitreißenden Geschichten von Klimakriegern aus Deutschland und den USA. Darunter so unterschiedliche Persönlichkeiten wie der junge Hip-Hop-Künstler Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Youtuberin Joylette-Portlock oder Hollywood-Actionstar Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sie alle kämpfen für das gleiche Ziel: eine saubere, gerechte und sichere Welt durch erneuerbare Energien. Mit der »Terrestrischen Universität« laden wir im Rahmen der Ausstellung »Critical Zones – Horizonte einer neuen Erdpolitik« herzlich zu einer experimentellen Vorlesungsreihe ein: mit unterschiedlichen Formaten wie Vorträgen, Diskussionen, Artist Talks, Performance Lectures oder Workshops wenden wir uns in einer Art Ringvorlesung der kritischen Lage der Erde zu. Gemeinsam mit eingeladenen KünstlerInnen, WissenschaftlerInnen, KuratorInnen und BürgerInnen sowie BürgerInnen-Initiativen erkunden wir die »kritische Zone« – die dünne Haut der Erde, in welcher sich alle Prozesse des Lebens wechselseitig bedingen. Im Fokus steht die entscheidende Frage, welche Denkverschiebungen notwendig sind, um die »kritische Zone« in ihrem fragilen Gleichgewicht zu erhalten.

In this episode, Morning Show host John Richards explains the origin story of the holiday and highlights his favorite songs and messages from The Clash. Weyes Blood explains the themes behind her song, “Wild Time” and why she's moving from awareness to activism. Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, a 19-year-old climate activist and musician talks about how hip hop has allowed him to spread urgent messages surrounding climate change and its effects on his generation. Listeners share their most meaningful Clash song memories and Washington governor Jay Inslee tells us why music matters.

Josué Rivas is the founder of Natives Photograph and a visual storyteller and educator working at the intersection of art, journalism, and social justice. He's been a long-time collaborator of youth climate activist and hip hop artist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez (featured in EP41), and his work aims to challenge the mainstream narrative about Indigenous peoples, build awareness around issues affecting Native communities across Turtle Island and be a visual messenger for those in the shadows of our society. In this podcast episode, Josué sheds light on what the lack of diversity in our media newsrooms has meant for our public discourse and understanding of underrepresented communities; how intentional photojournalism and storytelling can help us build empathy for one another as fellow humans, rather than perpetuate stereotypes or cause divide; and more.

What’s stopping you from becoming an eco-leader? If you’re thinking that you need experience as an eco-leader or even as a leader, at all, think again! Learn from Xiuhtezcatl Martinez’ first public speech at age six. Time-stamped notes: [1:00] “Experience required”... a common criteria for jobs [1:20] It would be natural to think that you’d need to have eco-leader or any leadership experience [1:30] Guess what? That’s not true. [1:35] “If you want to make an impact, you don’t already need to be a leader.

Xiuhtezcatl Martinez is a 17-year-old climate activist, hip hop artist, and powerful voice on the front lines of a global, youth-led, environmental movement called the Youth Guardians. What does it mean to truly connect with the things that really matter to us? For Xiuhtezcatl, it means that we find our reason to care for our planet and the motivation to take action. He invites us to be energized by all the solutions and innovations that are already out there rather than be weighed down by the problems themselves. In this conversation, Xiuhtezcatl talks about how the movement for environmental change is fueled by more than just hope and inspiration… he's seen the solutions that outweigh the problems; he sees that we are at a moment in time where change has moved beyond dreaming and into doing. Xiuhtezcatl says that by 2020, his young generation will be the biggest voting block in the United States, and speaks about the importance of a movement spearheaded by hundreds of thousands of youth spread among 30 different countries. From tree planting to carbon sequestration projects, he emphasizes all of the good that is already being done and invites you to join in on the momentum.
