002: Erica Littlewolf: Inclusion or Exclusion in the workplace and in the world as a native American
Erica Littlewolf is from the northern Cheyenne and works in the Mennonite Central Committee - Central State with Indigenous Visioning circle. She is committed to the work of decolonization, authentic relationships and healing. With her B.S. in Psychology and American-Indian Studies, she applies her education to social justice issues and how they impact indigenous people.
In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Erica Littlewolf discuss:
- The big difference between inclusion and being a “token person”
- Being “allowed” to have a voice in the corporate world
- Political correctness and framing the conversation
- Ideas for breaking off into a space where you can interact with non-natives
Key Takeaways:
- Don’t put people in a box based on where they’re from or what group they belong to, people are people and should be given the respect and space that people deserve.
- Giving people the benefit of the doubt is exhausting, especially when knowledge these days are just so easily accessible.
- There’s really nothing wrong with direct truth, what’s wrong is being disrespectful of people. Respecting others could mean saying the truth frankly and plainly.
- Know the difference between the dominant way of being and the cultural way of being. Both ways are valuable, you have to know when to use which way.
“Be able to carry out what you need to but then hold your own values and never overstep that.” - Erica Littlewolf
