Indigenous Parenting, ICWA, and Epigenetics with Grace Johnson, Misty Flowers, and Elizabeth Lovejoy Brown

from Nihizhi, Our Voices: An Indigenous Solutions Podcast · host Lyla June

In this episode, we talk with Grace Johnson about traditional Indigenous parenting techniques, from rites of passage to holding our babies when they cry. We also speak with Misty Flowers about the recent win for the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) which was recently challenged by a white family that wanted the right to take a Native child over an available native family because it was a "racist" priority. We also speak with Elizabeth Lovejoy Brown about epigenetics and how what our ancestors experience can affect our behavior today at least three generations forward, how we feel things and we don't know why. We are so grateful for this discussion on how to take care of our children today.
