Human Powered: The Power of Indigenous Knowledge

from Ohio Humans Hosted by Ohio Humanities

This week, we’re thrilled to share “The Power of Indigenous Knowledge,” an episode from the first season of Human Powered, a podcast from our friends at Wisconsin Humanities. This episode starts with a meal around a fire, in a place where people have been cooking and eating for more than 5,000 years. Hosts Marvin Defoe and Edwina Buffalo-Reyes, members of the Red Cliff band of Lake Superior Ojibwe in Bayfield County, discuss the Red Cliff Tribal Historic Preservation Office’s three-year collaboration with two archaeologists helping excavate sites on tribal lands. Listen to hear what they are doing to reclaim and revitalize the deep history and culture of their people—and to help train a new generation of scholars committed to centering indigenous knowledge. Listen to the first season of Human Powered in full at wisconsinhumanities.org/podcast and, next week, hear an episode from the upcoming second season right here in our podcast feed! And, later this year, join us for The Ohio Country, a forthcoming series from WYSO Public Radio and funded by Ohio Humanities. Native men and women from different tribes and their allies—plus teachers, artists, scholars, parents, landowners, foresters, young people, and historians, too—will tell their stories about the about the lands above the Ohio River, known as the Ohio Country. You can listen in this feed, at WYSO.org, ohiohumanities.org, and in all those other places where you get podcasts.

Episode details come from the podcast's RSS feed.
