Don’t Wait: Just Freaking DO IT

We’re continuing a line of thought we’ve been working on for the past few episodes. Last time, we mentioned that we’d been talking about current racial dynamics and crises of structural, environmental racism like COVID-19 within too narrow of a Black/White binary. In this episode, we’ve got intersectional indigenous activists, Desiree Kane and Tewentenhawihtha Aldrich. We begin by asking, Can you both speak to us about US naivety in relation to the issues affecting native folks? How do you feel about land acknowledgment statements? And what can be done to make them more impactful?
