Why do so many people of color feel out of place in the outdoors ? With Lexie Obey

She is a member of the Piapot First Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada, and one of the voices helping reshape the narratives around mountains and outdoor culture today.In this episode of En tête-à-tête, recorded at the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival, Lexie Obey talks about representation, identity, community… and the feeling of not always belonging in outdoor spaces as an Indigenous person or a person of color.Through her experience in the Canadian mountains and her work with Soul of Miistaki, an organization dedicated to making mountain sports more accessible to Indigenous and BIPOC communities, she offers another way of seeing the mountains.We also talk about colonialism, transmission, collective joy, and one essential question: what changes when we finally begin to see different faces, stories, and cultures reflected in outdoor narratives?A deeply human conversation that questions the way we inhabit territories… but also the way we live together in outdoor spaces.Enjoy the episode ✨Books quoted in this episode : - These mountains are our sacred places, Chief John Snow- There there, Tommy OrangeAbout Lexie Obey 🧗‍♀️ : - Her work ⁠Soul of Miistaki website & Instagram- Her Instagram account : ⁠⁠Lexie Obey- The film Iikaiksimatsa’pao’p: Grateful to be on the landFollow our project 🏔️ :- On ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - On our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- On our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
