Our first guest on Nomads at the Intersections podcast is Wynne Weddell, Native American of the Yankton Sioux Tribe. A hiker, nomad, and full-time beadwork artist - Wynne joins our host, Noami, for this in-person interview from the traditional lands of the Pascua Yaqui and Tohono O’odham in the Southwest. Listen as she shares her story of leaving her homeland to follow her nomadic passions in the forests of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Wynne also recounts her experience at the Dakota Access pipeline, shares stories about her great-grandmother as a front-line activist during the American Indian Movement, how Indigenous peoples must lead the conversation on environmental activism, and so much more. Check out our Show Notes for journal prompts that dig deeper into how your story and Wynne’s experience intersect.
