This conversation with Indigenous and Two Spirit Water Protector, Big Wind, is a glimpse into constant internal and interpersonal questions on how to do repair work in our communities. When your organizing surrounds you with multifaceted individuals, their intersections, and their trauma it can be truly beautiful and also very painful. Having the “tough conversations” needs to be continuous and not an afterthought. So, let’s talk decolonizing repair work.
