Nikk Goodswimmer

This week artist, frontline worker, activist, and advocate; Nikk Goodswimmer also known as PunkIndigenous (they/she 2S) is Stoney Nakota and Cree from Treaty 8 Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation. They share their incredible, painful and harrowing journey starting with the millennial scoop of 2000's. Where the federal government continued its awful practice of removing indigenous children from their families. Now it isn't to send away to residential schools, but into the very same system under the guise of foster care. Then to be placed in white, Christian foster care where as recently as ten years ago they held Nikk down and cut their hair. Our governments are apologetic about abuse and genocide, all the while committing atrocities under different names and guises. https://www.interruptingcriminalization.com/defundpolice-toolkithttps://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/End genocide 💔***If you are interested in coming on the podcast please direct inquiries to [email protected]******If you are interested in making a donation to Freedom's Path Recovery Society please visit our website*** www.freedomspathrecoverysociety.ca*Produced by Darcy Robinson
