Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Being, and Healing: A Critical Reflection (pt2)

In this second of two episodes on Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and healing hosts Natalie Kivell and Ramy Barhouche engage in a powerful conversation with a diverse group of guests: Hana Masud, Rejane Williams, Ann Marie Beals, Amy Smoke, and Marika Handfield. Guests were invited to listen to part 1, and join us in this dialogue to further our collective understanding and imaginations about Indigenous reclamation and resistance.

This episode covers a range of topics, including resistance as healing, the impacts of colonialism and capitalism, the fight for Indigenous sovereignty and land reclamation, denial of colonialism, the challenges of raising awareness, and the importance of safe spaces and language in resistance.
We explore the role of non-Indigenous allies in awareness-raising work and the emotional labor involved in resisting oppression. The guests candidly reflect on the exhaustion and frustration within the ongoing struggle.

The episode amplifies Indigenous movements for, survival and freedom, and the refusal to be marginalized. It emphasizes intergenerational healing, breaking cycles of trauma, and the ongoing reclamation of Indigenous languages, cultures, and practices. We encourage listeners and transcript readers to support Indigenous communities in these journeys for justice, recognition, self-determination, and liberation from Palestine, to Turtle Island, to South Africa and in and for all colonized lands.
