In this and the next episode, Meghan is joined by Dr. Jason Corwin, professor of Indigenous Studies at the University of Buffalo and filmmaker (, to discuss the colonial trauma that has separated us from the land and one another, and which has created a deep crisis of belonging.
We mention Dr. Corwin's previous work as director of the youth media project Green Guerrillas (https://guerrillagriots.wordpress.com/who-we-be/; http://www.susted.com/wordpress/content/green-guerrillas-youth-media-tech-collective-sustainable-storytellers-challenging-the-status-quo_2020_05/), as well as his independent film about the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock, titled Denying Access: NoDAPL to NoNAPL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA-h4UYwPfQ).
