How We Made Indigenous Books

To rematriate is to return the sacred to the mother. Join us today as we talk about the collective work of Rematriation with Dr. Dian Million (Tanana Athabascan), Michelle Schenandoah (Oneida Nation) and Marquel Musgrave (Nanbe Owingeh). In this episode, we acknowledge that rematriation IS the work of decolonization; we talk through Indigenous Feminism, Sky Woman, and we even make the connections between Ruth Bater Ginsberg and The Doctrine of Discovery.Dr. Dian Million, is Tanana Athabascan,  and is a Professor in American Indian Studies at the University of Washington. She recieved her Ph. D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 2004.  She is the author of Therapeutic Nations: Healing in an Age of Indigenous Human Rights, as well the author of “Felt Theory: An Indigenous Feminist Approach to Affect and History,” “Intense Dreaming: Theories, Narratives and Our Search for Home,” and most recently “A River Runs Through Me: Theory from Life”. She teaches courses on Indigenous politics, literatures, feminisms and social issues.Michelle Schenandoah is a Rematriation Activist, media maker, and inspirational speaker. She belongs to the Oneida Nation, Wolf Clan, of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Michelle is the host of Rematriated Voices with Michelle Schenandoah, an upcoming talk show highlighting the untold stories and contributions of Indigenous Peoples in Turtle Island. She is also the founder of the nonprofit Rematriation, an organization dedicated to uplifting the Indigenous women led movement of rematriation. Marquel Musgrave is a mother, auntie and tribal citizen of Nanbé Owingeh and currently works for the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center. Marquel has previously worked at the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, as an outdoor experiential educator, and served an elected term as tribal council secretary for the pueblo of Nambe. She is currently a member of the Tewa Language Committee for her pueblo, and serves on the Board of Directors for Pueblo Action Alliance. They are also co-founder of the Rights of Mother Earth and Water Beings Coalition.The Library Rematriation Project defines this topic, and they say, “By “rematriate” we mean “give back,” but unlike the legal term “repatriate,” which signifies a simple transfer of ownership, “rematriate” means something more profound: a restoration of right relationships and a true action of decolonization, aimed not just at righting a past wrong but transforming our collective future.+++Shout out to our All My Relations team that makes this possible.

Rematriate

Three incredible women, Sierra Ornales (Diné ), Jana Schmieding (Mniconjou and Sicangu Lakota) and Tazbah Rose Chavez  (Nüümü, Diné and San Carlos Apache tribes) join All My Relations to talk about the comedy scene, sisterhood and above all else— laughter as a way of life. These are the the women that brought us Rutherford Falls, and you may have also seen Jana in Reservation Dogs, but these amazing women have been working in television for years.

Native Women Are Funny

As an Indigenous documentary filmmaker, what does it mean to tell true stories in a good, ethical way? How do we protect and respect our communities while sharing our stories with broader audiences? How do our teachings inform our storytelling? On our newest episode we talk with Cherokee Nation filmmaker Brit Hensel  about her work as a visual storyteller and her responsibilities to community. As part of our third episode in our series of live recordings from Santa Monica College, we had the chance to take a deep dive with her on her film created in collaboration with artist Cherokee artist Keli Gonzales, ᎤᏕᏲᏅ (What They’ve Been Taught), which explores expressions of reciprocity in the Cherokee world, brought to life through a story told by an elder and first language speaker. Her work challenges all of us to think about what we owe to one another. Brit’s film can be viewed (for free!) as part of season 1 of the reciprocity project along with six other short films from Indigenous communities throughout the world at https://www.reciprocity.org/films++++Special thanks to  Santa Monica College and everyone there who made this possible, thank you to the AMR team: Jonathan Stein, Max Levin, Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower,  and Charlie Stavish.

Telling True Stories in a Good Way

Brooke Pepion Swaney (Blackfeet/Salish) and Kendra Potter (Lummi) join All My Relations for “Native Children Belong in Native Homes.” This heartfelt, vulnerable and raw story is centered around their film, “Daughter of A Lost Bird”, which follows Kendra, an adult Native adoptee, as she reconnects with her birth family, discovers her Lummi heritage, and confronts issues of her own identity.

Native Children Belong in Native Homes

Sterlin Harjo (Muskogee/Seminole) and Ryan Redcorn (Osage), join All My Relations for a live podcast to discuss how Native representation in Hollywood can be done right (or Rez-dogged). The conversation is packed with giggles, the importance of sharing opportunities with your community,  the power of creating all Native spaces in entertainment and the journey from the 1491s to now.The tone of this episode is slightly different than some of our more narrative episodes, mostly because you get to hear Matika and Adrienne try to hold it together and not bust up into laughter every two seconds! But also because this series of episodes are from our live recordings at Santa Monica College. The event was part of Matika’s year-long artist-in-residency Santa Monica College Barrett Gallery, curated by Emily Silver and developed by an incredible team of students.

This episode delves into higher education for Native students. While colleges and universities around the US are releasing land acknowledgements, the Indigenous students who come from these lands make up only 1% of college students nationally. We know college can be a source of power and strength for our communities, but we also know the experiences of Native students in college can be difficult and heartbreaking. If higher education in predominantly white, colonial, western institutions is potentially very dangerous for Native people: why should we still look to college as a goal for Native students?To help us explore this question, we talk with Dr. Amanda Tachine (Diné), Assistant Professor, Mary Lou Fulton Teacher’s College, Arizona State University; Dr. Bryan Brayboy (Lumbee), President’s Professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University; Carmen Lopez (Diné), Executive Director of College Horizons; and Dominick Joseph (Tulalip), a graduate student at The University of Washington.Dr. Tachine’s book, “Native Presence and Sovereignty in College:Sustaining Indigenous Weapons to Defeat Systemic Monsters” can be found here: https://www.tcpress.com/native-presence-and-sovereignty-in-college-9780807766132Dr. Brayboy’s most recent book, “The School-Prison Trust” can be found here: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-school-prison-trustFind out more about College Horizons at https://collegehorizons.orgAnd check out Dom’s podcast, “DomJoseph Podcast” at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dom-joseph-podcast/id1452117571  Huge thanks to the AMR team:·       Does All The Things- Teo Shantz·       1st Editor- Jonathan Stein·       2nd Editor- Darrien Camarillo·       Social Media- Lindsey Hightower·       Production Management- Will PaisleyMusic for this episode was provided by Black Belt Eagle Scout. https://www.blackbelteaglescout.com/In this episode we focus solely on white, western institutions, but we want to acknowledge there is also an entire alternative system of Native higher education already in place we hope to explore in a future episode: Tribal Colleges and Universities!

Building Indigenous Futures

When Adrienne took time away from All My Relations to focus on her academic obligations, Dr. Dr. Dez stepped into the co-hosting role with Matika. Since then, we have had some great conversation, laughs, and cries with our favorite data warrior, sociologist, demographer, and friend. Desi has been an invaluable member of the team and it was incredible to hear her stories, thoughts and feelings. Now, another time of flux is upon us and we will once again be hearing from the iconic Adrienne and Matika duo that AMR started with. In this episode, Desi will reflect on her time on the pod and Adrienne will reflect on her time off it. We hope you enjoy this short and bittersweet episode and ponder over the growth that has occurred in the past year and a half. As always, thanks for listening and flourishing with us.+++ Keep up with Desi &amp; Data Warriors Lab  Adrienne's Book - Notable Native PeopleSupport the showPlease consider becoming a Patreon subscriberFollow us on Instagram+++Thanks to the AMR team that worked on this episode:   Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower, Darrien Camarillo, Jamie Marquez-BratcherThank you to Ciara Sana from Art By Ciara  for our amazing episode artwork.#AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcastSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

All My Relations is proud to offer the third episode in our series on Afro-Indigenous topics, “Black &amp; Native Futures: Liberation and Sovereignty”, a conversation with Nikkita Oliver, hosted by Matika Wilbur and Dr. Dr. Desi. Nikkita is a scholar and activist who works at the intersection of arts, law and education. They have supported social justice efforts from No DAPL (No Dakota Access Pipeline) to working in the CHOP/CHAZ (Capitol Hill Occupied Protest/ Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) during the racial justice movements after the murder of George Floyd.This discussion centers the importance of the collective power that Black Peoples and Indigenous Peoples have to change the systems that support racialized capitalism and oppression. We talk about real world solutions that activists and organizers like Nikkita are taking to actualize empowered Black and Native futures. We know and reiterate that our stories are intertwined and it is possible to work towards shared collective futures.Resources mentioned in the episode:Website for Nikkita Oliver3 Pillars Of White Supremacy Support the showPlease consider becoming a Patreon subscriberFollow us on Instagram+++Thanks to the AMR team that worked on this episode: Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower, Darrien Camarillo, Jamie Marquez-BratcherThank you to Ciara Sana from Art By Ciara  for our amazing episode artwork. #AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcast #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #afroindigenousSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Black and Native Futures: Liberation and Sovereignty with Nikkita Oliver

Welcome! All My Relations is a podcast hosted by Matika Wilbur (Swinomish and Tulalip), and Dr. Adrienne Keene (Cherokee Nation) to explore our relationships— relationships to land, to our creatural relatives, and to one another.  Each episode invites guests to delve into a different topic facing Native American peoples today. We keep it real, play some games, laugh a lot, and even cry sometimes. We invite you to join us!

Join Matika Wilbur and Dr.Dr. Desi for part two in this series, “Black Native Kinship”, a powerful conversation with Afro-Indigenous activist Amber Starks. Amber is a Black woman and enrolled member of the Miscogee (Creek) Nation. Her activism seeks to normalize, affirm and uplift multidimensional identities of Black and Native peoples. Together we  explore how relationally is rooted in kinship,  how Indigenous people can aid in the dismantling of Anti-Blackness and how ultimately, Black liberation and Indigenous sovereignty are complimentary and not at odds. How can we evolve kinship relationships beyond blood quantum and perceived identity to create a modern Indigenous future? ++Resources mentioned in this episode: Melanin Mvskoke @melaninmvskoke currently on a break from social media. Conscious Coils Portland Oregon space that invites people of African descent to love and embrace their hair. Please consider becoming a Patreon subscriber:https://www.patreon.com/allmyrelationspodcastSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/amrpodcast)Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amrpodcast/Thanks to the AMR team that worked on this episode: Teo Shantz, Lindsey Hightower, Darrien Camarillo, Jamie Marquez-BratcherThank you to Ciara Sana from Art By Ciara  for our amazing episode artwork. https://artbyciara.com/#AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcast #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #afroindigenousSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Black Native Kinship with Amber Starks

Back in 2020, after the murder of George Floyd and during the Black Lives Matter uprisings that followed, All My Relations started a journey to support the Black community and Afro Indigenous relatives through having conversations on police brutality, anti-blackness, Indian Country’s connection to chattel slavery, and Afro-Indigenous history. This first episode in the series features an interview with Harvard professor Tiya Miles. Professor Miles is a scholar, historian, and writer whose work explores the intersections of African American, Native American and women’s histories. With Dr. Miles, we focus specifically on the history and structure of Black and Native interconnection. Through the lens of early Cherokee interactions with Black people, we talk about Black and Indigenous peoples first relationships that were shaped in a settler colonial landscape. We talk about how some southeastern Tribes like the Cherokee bent to colonial standards and acted in ways antithetical to Indigenous values by owning enslaved Africans, and how this legacy of pain and abuse has effects today for the descendants of those who were enslaved, and our communities as a whole. We touch on current conversations around the recognition of Freedmen Descendants by the Five Tribes. Our stories are intertwined, and we need to examine the past to determine how best to more forward. +++ Resources mentioned in the episode:Website for Dr. Miles: TiyaMiles.com The Cherokee Nation has put out a call for freedmen descendants to share cultural artifacts, family photos, and other memorabilia for an exhibit:  Call for Freedmen DescendantsCreek Freedmen descendants have a gofundme to raise funds to support the community and legal efforts to gain recognition: GoFundMeDr. Keene made a reading list on my blog two years ago on Anti-Blackness in the Cherokee Nation, which has a wide range of academic and non-academic resources on the topic: Dr. Keene’s Reading List#AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcast #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #afroindigenousSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Black Native History with Dr. Tiya Miles

The Border Crossed Us is led by Jon Ayon, an AMR team member who conducted field research to gather the stories of peoples and Tribes at the southern settler colonial border between the United States and Mexico. This political border was drawn with no respect for the Indigenous peoples that live there — with land claims that predate both colonial governments. Now families and cultures are separated on either side. There are current cultural and religious permits in place for Native peoples to cross the border, but crossing remains a complicated and formidable challenge as border control determines which reasons are legitimate- often with no knowledge of traditions. Only in recent history has Indigenous migration been restricted and disqualified as a human right. An Indigenous future means free movement because heritage transcends borders. This is about the protection of the sacred: sacred land, sacred relations, sacred sovereignty and sacred traditions that require a sense of place and home. Our relationality does not end at a structural, colonial boundary. We would like to include a trigger warning for violence and sexual assault which appears in some of the stories. If you are listening with younger children, or would like to avoid hearing for your own sake, we offer warning within the episode and encourage you to skip portions at your own discretion. Due to complications, this episode was taken down. It’s been reevaluated and recut.

The Border Crossed Us

We are so excited to talk about the very highly requested topic: reconnection. So many of our relatives grew up with varying levels of kinship systems, and it is so important to not blame oneself for little connection. After 500 years of colonization and attempted erasure via relocation, prohibiting traditions, and pushing assimilation, we have all felt the effects in differing and unique experiences. Join us in a special, raw and vulnerable conversation about how Daniel French and another special surprise guest reconnected to their Indigenous communities. This conversation is powerfully important as reclaiming the connections that colonization has tried to keep broken for many generations is a very real experience for many Native folks. Special thanks Thank you to Daniel French and Adrienne Keene for joining us today.Thanks to the AMR team that worked on this episode: Teo Shantz, Dominick Joseph, Lindsey Hightower, Keoni Rodriguez. Thank you to Art by Ciara for our amazing episode artwork. Never forget that the ancestors know who you are.+++All My Relations is listener supported!Contribute to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/allmyrelationspodcastFollow us on Social Media! @amrpodcast+++ #AMRPodcast #AllMyRelations #AllMyRelationsPodcast #reconnectingSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

The Ancestors Know You: Real Life Reconnection Stories

“The Truth about Thanksgiving” is the first installment of a series we’re calling “Lies your teacher taught you”. In this episode we sit down with Matika and her 13-year-old nephew to teach about the true history of European and Native contact. As this episode is with a new teenager, we wanted to show that this is not a hard conversation to have, and most people do not want to be lied to - which is what rehashing the myth does. Ultimately, it stems from a limited perspective of history. The Thanksgiving myth that many Americans have been taught is that, upon arrival, the pilgrims were met with happy Indians who taught them how to tend the land and they had a great feast to celebrate. This whole concept was taken from one paragraph of one settler’s journal. Most of what we know about Thanksgiving is invented and packaged in easy-to-digest bites. This convenient story allows for the avoidance of discomfort for people with settler ancestries. The path to reconciliation starts with honest acknowledgement of our past, with open eyes, and open hearts for a better future. It is time for us to be in good relation with one another. We can do that by learning to give thanks in a good way.  Support the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon. Show notes are published on our website, amrpodcast.com.

Lies Your Teacher Taught You: The Truth About Thanksgiving

Join us for an episode all about snaggin’! For part two of All My Loving Relations, we continue our conversation with the phenomenal Geraldine King, and bring in comedian Deanna Diaz (aka Dianna M.A.D.). Join us as we embark on a teepee creepin’ journey of all things S-E-X. Some things to look forward to: stories from our own aunties, the sacred power of self-pleasure, and some “dang cackle-able” jokes.Because of Christianity, and other colonizing forces, we don’t really know how to talk about sex, even in 2021. But why do some of our aunties, uncles, and even grandparents never seem to quit it with their sexual jokes? Often, our relatives use humor as a way to access topics which have long been stigmatized. Also, our kin should be more open to dialogue about sex given traditions of sexual agency within Native communities. However, Native people are also affected by the same shameful misconceptions which plague the rest of the euro-christian dominated world. But we should not be ashamed of sex! It is such a vital component of our most intimate relationships. Importantly, we acknowledge that as two cis-hetero women, this is a narrow conversation. It excludes a whole diverse, beautiful world of sex among our LGBTQ+, and Two Spirit relations. But we have plans for that conversation later in the season, so stay tuned for Sexy Sacred Round 2!++++Geraldine King (Anishinaabe) is a member of Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek located in the Robinson Superior Treaty area, northwestern Ontario. Her research interests include: Anishinaabe erotics, ethics of intimacy, kinship studies, theories of Anishinaabe phenomenologies, eco-erotics and Indigenous pedagogical transformation.Deanna Diaz, aka Deanna M.A.D. (Tonowanda Seneca), is from the Tonawanda Seneca Nation, raised in Southern California. She is a hilarious, and powerful standup comedian and part of The Ladies of Native Comedy. Deanna isn’t afraid to have the embarrassing, funny, and taboo real talk about sex. She helps us to have healthier conversations about sex in Indian Country. All My Relations is Listener SupportedBecome a PatronFollowAMR on InstagramMatika on Instagram and TwitterDesi on Instagram and TwitterGeraldine on Instagram and TwitterDeanna on Instagram and TwitterAMR TeamCreative direction, sound engineering, and editing: Teo ShantzFilm Editing: Jon AyonSound production: Max LevinDevelopment Manager: Will Paisley Production Assistant: Support the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Sexy Sacred

Love is something we all need, cherish, and desire in our lives. As Indigenous people we have always known that being in good relation with people, creatures, and the land is integral to wellbeing. Western science is just catching up to discover what we have known for time immemorial. Indeed, love and relationships are arguably the most important things in life. As settler colonial trauma and violence such as boarding schools have damaged our ability to love we know it is important to discuss how we can heal. We all have different forms of ceremony to find love within ourselves and there are so many ways to love. Thus, in this episode we ask how do we heal from historical trauma to love again? We are so grateful to welcome an incredible First Nations scholar for this conversation.Geraldine King (Anishinaabe) is a member of Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek located in the Robinson Superior Treaty area, northwestern Ontario.Her research interests include: Anishinaabe erotics, ethics of intimacy, kinship studies, theories of Anishinaabe phenomenologies, eco-erotics and Indigenous pedagogical transformation. Also joining us is Aunty Jillene Joseph (Gros Ventre) the Executive Director of the Native Wellness Institute. She has traveled to hundreds of Native communities and interacted with and learned from thousands of people. Whether she is providing youth leadership training, assisting women heal from childhood trauma or helping to bring wellness to the workplace, Jillene shares her passion for being positive, productive and proactive. Through reflection, stories, laughter, and personal perspective this episode delves into a great deal of what love looks like in Indigenous context. We should not have to talk about love in its proximity to whiteness, rather we hope to get a place where we can talk about love without violence. In spite of it all we are still here, still singing, still dancing. Call love into the world so you can feel and experience in it, that is ancestral love. You are not alone cause the earth is holding you, find love in all its forms. Good relationships founded in love keep us happier and healthier... period. So, let’s talk about how we get there. All My Relations is Listener SupportedBecome a PatronFollowAMR on InstagramMatika on Instagram and TwitterDesi on Instagram and TwitterGeraldine on Instagram and TwitterNative Wellness Institute on Instagram AMR Team Creative direction, sound engineering, and editing: Teo ShantzFilm Editing: Jon AyonSound production: Max LevinDevelopSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

All My Loving Relations

Since the onset of colonization Indigenous women have experienced violence with reckless abandon, today it is a public health emergency. Traditionally, many of our Native societies are matrilineal but settler colonialism has disrupted our traditional value systems. These shifts have tragically contributed to the epidemic of violence we see committed against our women and Two Spirit relations. The issue is systemic and this episode discusses how we must hold systems and people accountable. Mary Kathryn Nagle (Cherokee) is a playwright and lawyer with Pipestem Law, a firm dedicated to legal advocacy for the safety of Native women and tribal sovereignty. She represents families of victims and has testified before Congress for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Her perspective on the legal issues regarding MMIW expounds how tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction is so important in combatting the crisis. She also explains how political participation and allyship is necessary to fight subversive systems which propagate violence.Abigail Echohawk (Pawnee) is Director of the Urban Indian Health Institute and a leader in the movement to bring visibility to MMIW through political advocacy work, data, and research. Her organization conducted a seminal report on the crisis to better understand the prevalence of the crisis which has harmed our relations for 500 years.This episode is raw, real, and heart wrenching. The crisis must be addressed and we need allies to join us in making it visible so we can all take action. We need to hold non-Natives upholding these systems accountable. Further, we need Natives to step into roles of political power to demand change. Every statistic represents a Native woman. We must honor and protect our sisters.

Protect Indigenous Women

In this episode we explore our ceremonies related to birth and question what it means to rematriate through motherhood. What are our traditional birthing ceremonies? What about our coming of age ceremonies? How do we reclaim our sexualities? How has colonization disrupted our traditional birthing practices? Join us in discussion with AMR co-hosts Matika Wilbur, Dr.Dr.Desi and honored guest Temryss Lane, as we unpack some of these questions.Temryss is an Indigenous sports icon from the Lummi Nation. She played soccer at Arizona State, then professionally  in Sweden. She went on to become a model and sports broadcaster while simultaneously getting her Master's degree  in American Indian Studies from UCLA.  Temryss is a real matriarch, and she's nearly 9 months pregnant in this episode!Our Moms are everything- supremely important to our cultures, lifeways, health, wellness, and personhood. Carrying life is sacred. Motherhood is sacred. It is a ceremony. All My Relations is Listener SupportedBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/allmyrelationspodcastFollowTemryss Lane on InstagramAll My Relations on InstagramMatika on InstagramAMR TeamCreative direction, sound engineering, and editing by Teo ShantzFilm Editing by Jon AyonSound production by Max LevinDevelopment Manager: Will PaisleyProduction Assistant: Kristin BolanDirector of Business Development: Edison HunterSocial Media Intern, Lindsey HightowerResearch Intern, Keoni Rodriguez2nd Editor, Carly SjordalSales and Marketing Intern, Jamie Marquez-BratcherSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Join us in discussion with AMR co-hosts Matika Wilbur, Dr.Dr.Desi and honored guest Temryss Lane, as we unpack some of these questions.Temryss is an Indigenous sports icon from the Lummi Nation. She played soccer at Arizona State, then professionally  in Sweden. She went on to become a model and sports broadcaster while simultaneously getting her Master's degree  in American Indian Studies from UCLA.  Temryss is a real matriarch, and she's nearly 9 months pregnant in this episode!Our Moms are everything- supremely important to our cultures, lifeways, health, wellness, and personhood. Carrying life is sacred. Motherhood is sacred. It is a ceremony.  All My Relations is Listener SupportedBecome a Patron: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/allmyrelationspodcast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/allmyrelationspodcast</a> FollowTemryss Lane on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/temrysslane/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Instagram</a>All My Relations on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amrpodcast/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> Matika on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/project_562/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> AMR Team Creative direction, sound engineering, and editing by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/teoelisio/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Teo Shantz</a>Film Editing by <a href="https://allonsyalonsodotcom.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jon Ayon</a>Sound production by<a href="http://www.mvxlevin.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Max Levi</a>nDevelopment Manager: Will Paisley Production Assistant: Kristin BolanDirector of Business Development: Edison HunterSocial Media Intern, Lindsey HightowerResearch Intern, Keoni Rodriguez2nd Editor, Carly SjordalSales and Marketing Intern, Jamie Marquez-Bratcher<a href="https://www.paypal.me/amrpodcast" rel="payment nofollow" target="_blank">Support the show</a>Follow us on Instagam <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amrpodcast/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@amrpodcast,</a> or support our work on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/allmyrelationspodcast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Patreon</a>.

Indigenous Motherhood: Birth Is Ceremony

This episode marks the 12th and final episode of Season Two. What a wild, magical, beautiful and tragic year it has been— a season of dramatic change: personally, professionally, spiritually, and as we say in the episode “you are allowed to feel all the feelings”. And we have! With the global pandemic, heavy social movements, politics (in general), adapting to a socially distanced world, it has been a real collective moment of transformation. And behind the scenes, our AMR podcast underwent massive change.

All My Relations Podcast

Join us for a second discussion with Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Dr. Kim Tallbear on All My Relations. We'll explore Kim's “life project” of critical polyamory, her journey through feminism, her processes of writing in, with, and for community, and Kim treats us with some of her poetry, the “Critical polyamorist 100s”.AMR so far has explored our relationships between community, land, food, and kin. Now we have a chance to dive into what it means to be in good relation with other humans (on a sexual and non sexual level), while maintaining and balancing our responsibilities to our other relations, and questioning a hierarchy that places human relations first. Kim is never “single,” she is always in committed relationships with human and non-human relations.Follow us!Kim's Twitter.Matika's Twitter and Instagram.Adrienne's Twitter and Instagram.If you'd like to send us a voicemail visit www.allmyrelationspodcast.com to be featured on our upcoming episodes!Support the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Decolonizing Sex

Are you truly sovereign if you can’t feed yourselves? Today we delve into a topic we can all relate to! We all got to eat! But how are we eating, or better, WHAT are we eating?  And how has colonization disrupted our relationship with our traditional foods? That is why today’s discussion on food sovereignty is so important because we all know that colonialism destroyed our food systems, sometimes on purpose and sometimes as a byproduct of other colonial policies— But separating Native peoples from the way we traditionally ate and harvested was a very effective tool of colonization.Fortunately, we are living in a time of reconnection and revitalization— and our there are many people throughout turtle island who are doing this good food sovereignty work. Listen in, as we bring in our amazing guest Valerie Segrest to discuss the  definition of food sovereignty; learn how breastfeeding supports the food sovereignty movement; and how all of us, even if it is just in tiny ways, can become food sovereignty activists. Valerie Segrest is a Native nutrition educator who specializes in local and traditional foods. As a member of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, she serves her community as coordinator of the Muckleshoot Food Sovereignty Projectand also works as Traditional Foods and Medicines Program Manager.In 2010, Valerie co-authored “Feeding the People, Feeding the Spirit: Revitalizing Northwest Coastal Indian Food Culture.” Valerie received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Bastyr University, and a Masters Degree in Environment and Community from Antioch University. She is also a fellow for the Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy. Valerie aims to inspire and enlighten others about the importance of a nutrient-dense diet through a culturally appropriate, common sense approach to eating.Related Resourceshttps://gardenwarriorsgoodseeds.com/ https://sioux-chef.com/ Twitter thread of indigenous foods you can buy! https://twitter.com/NativeApprops/status/1072525570716651521 Camas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camassia Decolonizing Diet project: http://decolonizingdietproject.blogspot.comThe Pueblo Food Experience: https://shumakolowa.com/products/pueblo-food-experience-cookbook-whole-food-of-our-ancestors Billy Frank: http://billyfrankjr.org/ Support the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Food Sovereignty: A Growing Movement

Can a DNA test make me Native American? As direct-to-consumer ancestry DNA tests gain popularity and narratives of “discovering” or “proving” Native American ancestry through DNA swirl through the media—what does that mean for Indigenous nations? On this episode we talk with the amazing, badass, super cool Dr. Kim Tallbear (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), who literally wrote the book on Native American DNA. We talk about the concept of “Native DNA,” the problems of ancestry DNA tests, challenges in these areas for Native communities moving forward, Elizabeth Warren, the politics of research in Indigenous communities, and offer potential alternatives for thinking about kinship as a marker of Native belonging rather than false promises of DNA.Kim Tallbear Bio:Dr. Kimberly Tallbear - is Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate and also descended from the Cheyenne Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. She’s an Associate Professor in the faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta where she holds a Canadian Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples, Technoscience, and Environment. .In 2013 She literally wrote the book on Native American DNA, entitled: “Native American DNA: Tribal belonging and the false promise of genetic science”. Her Indigenous Science, Technology, and Society work recently turned to also address decolonial and Indigenous sexualities, specifically on decolonizing the centering of monogamy that she characterizes as emblematic of "settler sexualities." This builds on work she has been doing in a blog written under an alter ego, "The Critical Polyamorist." Through this work she founded a University of Alberta arts-based research lab and co-produces the sexy storytelling show, Tipi Confessions, sparked by the popular Austin, Texas show, Bedpost Confessions. She also is active on twitter, is a role model to many of us as an indigenous researcher, public scholar, and feminist scholar.Links and resources:Kim’s book, “Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science”: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/native-american-dnaKim’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/KimTallBearKim's weekly Indigenous media podcast, Media Indigena: https://www.mediaindigena.com/podcast/The Summer internship for INdigenous peoples in Genomics (SING) Workshop: https://sing.igb.illinois.edu/If you need more context and understanding on the whole Elizabeth Warren thing, Adrienne and her fellow Cherokee colleagues Joseph Pierce and Rebecca Nagle made The Elizabeth Warren Syllabus: http://www.criticalethnicstudiesjournal.org/blog/2018/12/19/syllabus-elizabeth-warren-cherokee-citizenship-and-dna-testingSupport the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

Native Appropriations

We join forces with two amazing Indigenous writers and scholars who are making waves in the literary scene with their poetry, prose, and fiction. They weave words and worlds to help us see and understand queer indigenous identities and bodies, the ways that settler colonialism has disrupted and distorted our relationships, and the power of asserting voice in spaces not meant for us. We discuss their writing practice, academia, living in racialized bodies. We close  with Joshua and Billy reciting some of their work for us. Enjoy! If you love this, please subscribe, share, and consider  our Patreon. +++++++++++Joshua Whitehead is Ojibwe &amp; Cree from the Peguis First Nation, located in Treaty 1 territory, and is Two Spirit IndigiQueer. You can find him at the University of Calgary in Treaty 7 territory, obtaining his PhD in English. Joshua is a poet and a writer, but most importantly, Joshua is a storyteller. The power of his storytelling launched him into the forefront of the literary scene.  His poetry collection, “Full Metal Indigequeer”  is indeed, as he says, “a viral song, is a round dance, is a jingle dress, is medicine.”  His debut novel, Johnny Appleseed, braids together human experience into a tight understanding of Indigeneity and queerness. +++++++++++Billy-Ray Belcourt is from the Driftpile Cree Nation and is a PhD student in the Department of English &amp; Film Studies at the University of Alberta. As a Rhodes Scholar, Billy-Ray went to the Colonizers land to obtain his Master’s in Women’s Studies which highlighted “the role of Indigenous Women in Social Resistance Movements .” His work has been widely published and acclaimed in magazines across Canada.

Bonus Episode: Sacred is Sacred!

Today we launch Season 2 of All My Relations: “Growing New Beginnings”! This episode was recorded around the new year when the world was functioning without Covid-19, and we were emerging from our off-season hibernation, reveling in new life, and trying to figure out a healthy and wellness-focused way forward. Then, things changed, and we sat on the episode for a bit. We decided to bring the conversation up to speed with the current moment and talk about how we’re riding out the pandemic in our homes, mourning losses and feeling scared, but also continuing to grow. In Season 2, we are dedicating several episodes to wellness.  We have amazing conversations on Whole Family Wellness with Thosh Collins and Chelsea Luger of Well For Culture, Healing the Land and Ourselves with Kim Smith, Building Indigenous Futures through Higher Education with Bryan Brayboy and Amanda Tachine, and a multi-part series on the movement to protect Mauna Kea in Hawai’i featuring a whole crew of scholars, activists, students, and community members. We continue to explore what it means to be a good relative to our families, the land, and one another, and especially during this time, how to take care of ourselves and our communities. We may sprinkle in some bonus content too, reacting to what is happening as the world continues to change around us. We are so excited to share all of this with you! +This work was supported by the National Geographic Society’s Emergency Fund for Journalists, The Wisteria Fund, and our incredible Patreon subscribers. +Special Thanks to Max Levin and Kyle Sherrer for our new music, Ciara Sana for her beautiful episode art, and Teo Elisio for his editing, mixing, tech support, moral support, and vision. + We also found out All My Relations was an “honoree” for the 2020 Webby's! We’re recognized in the “Diversity and Inclusion” category alongside some fantastic podcasts! So thank you for your continued support. We send big hugs. Support the showFollow us on Instagam @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon. Show notes are published on our website, amrpodcast.com.

Growing New Beginnings

This bonus episode explores the impacts of Covid-19 in tribal communities. Even though tribal nations are most at risk, Indigenous voices have been widely left out of mainstream news coverage. Nationally, health experts and tribal leaders are sounding the alarm that Native Americans are particularly vulnerable to the spread of Covid-19. During this time of crisis, it is critically important to hear from national leadership. Listen in to hear conversation between Matika and New Mexico’s First District US Congresswoman, Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo); Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Band of Ojibwe); President of The National Congress of The American Indian, Fawn Sharp (Quinalt); Director of Urban Indian Health Institute, Abigail Echo-Hawk (Pawnee); President &amp; CEO of Black Hills Center for American Indian Health, Dr. Jeff Henderson (Cheyenne River Sioux);  Indigenous Environment Network Organizer, Dallas Goldtooth (Mdewakanton Dakota and Dine); Nutritionist Valerie Segrest (Muckleshoot); Ethnobotanist Linda Black Elk (Catawba); and Medical Doctors Dr. Edi Chu and Dr. David Price.  Each speaks to crisis from their own perspective and offers insight. +++This work was supported by the National Geographic Society’s Emergency Fund for Journalists.

Bonus Episode: All Our (Socially Distanced) Relations

Hundreds of years ago when colonizers instituted the idea of “blood quantum” as a means of reducing the Native population, our Native ancestors probably did not envision a modern Indigenous world of Tinder, multi-billion dollar tribal enterprises and per cap payments, or a world where who we love might determine if our children are considered Indigenous at all. Last episode we talked about Blood Quantum through history, law, science, and policy. In this episode, we’ll approach the topic on a more personal level--how does it affect our love lives? Join Matika and Adrienne as they talk with our production team members Brooke and Nita about how we’ve navigated finding partners, racist federal/tribal policy, and how we’ve had no choice but to consider how blood quantum affects our children, our families, and our nations.This is an emotional episode, we talk about a lot of really hard and personal things things--from enrollment and belonging, to cancer and to sexual assault. So we want to give you a heads up that this might be an episode you need to be emotionally ready for, and might want to give yourself the space to smudge or decompress after. But it’s also us--so we promise to maintain the chuckle.We’re also at the end of Season One! We’d especially like to thank Brooke and Nita for weighing in on this episode, and for all of their hard work on Season One. This couldn’t and wouldn’t be possible without the help of our good friend Teo Shantz, who does all the production, engineering, and editing for this project. Also Ciara Sana, who creates the most beautiful episode art for us. We also want to thank the amazing Katherine Paul aka Black Belt Eagle Scout for the music on this episode, and we especially want to thank you. Thank you for listening. We love you!
