Martin Friedman and Matt Remle return in this week’s podcast to continue their discussion on the concept of a new man from an indigenous perspective. Matt begins with telling us about his childhood, and what it was like having a white father. He explains that he was very lucky to grow up in a family that accepted help. Matt’s father understood how important it was for Matt to learn about his indigenous identity from other native men. 

Matt and Martin also discuss the traditional ceremonies that are used by tribes to help individuals return to themselves. Matt describes a ceremony that focuses on taking care of yourself and fully cleansing yourself of negativity before going on to help others. It is a very interesting ceremony to hear about, and it contradicts how men are commonly socialized to not focus on their own healing. Matt explains that his idea of a new man is returning to our responsibilities. The thought of a new man feels like it is just now appearing, however after hearing Matt’s story we hope you realize it has always been there.
