EP: 23 S: 4 - Faithlyn Seawright Pt. 1

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we'll give a listen to the episode recorded back in 2022 of Faithlyn Seawright being interviewed by Olivia. Originally, this interview was meant to be shared during the second series. However, because Faithlyn had already received their ancestral markings on their hands, we decided to hold off to share it at a later date. Three years have passed since the initial interview, and it's been about a year since we last put out an episode. In that time, so much has changed not only for Faithlyn (who now famously received her facial markings during our May 2024 retreat in Broken Bow, OK), but also for the moment on the ground in general. In part 1 and 2 (to be released next week) we'll be taking a look back on Faithlyn's journey, but also where the Southeastern Revivalization Movement is on the ground currently, and our hopes for the future. If you'd like to support Inchunwa, you can do so by becoming a Patron at patron.com/inchunwa. Have you been researching the ancestral markings and/or visual language ? In August, or our patrons in tiers tahlapi and above, we'll be starting up a monthly video chat in our Patreon Discord Video/Voice channel. It'll kick off the monthly gatherings to discuss research that folks have come across together. In September, for our patrons in tiers achvffa and above, we'll be hosting a book club. For this first book, we'll be reading Drawing With Great Needles. This is a great book that covers Southeastern tattooing practices. You can join for as little as $1. Your financial support allows us to have this podcast, research, do community outreach, and more! Yakoke to all our patrons! If you've received your ancestral marks, belong to a Southeastern tribal nation, and are interested in taking part in Chickasaw photographer Destiny Green's Icho'wa Portrait Project, please fill out the google form. Destiny will contact you afterwards to have your portrait taken if you're eligible to be a part of the project: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScVP0rlyM61ZwrAj89Y_iWNPsY-TZlEpdOZBf1uN95Zu0tpsA/viewformFor supplementary material, please follow us on our instagram: instagram.com/inchunwa and Facebook.com/inchunwa.
