Listen to our first episode of Season Two where we talked with Patty Krawec, author of the upcoming book, Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future. Patty's book is now available for pre-order here. During our conversation with Patty we explored the topics of colonization, decolonization, indigenous erasure, and the role of faith communities in these issues.

Patty is an Anishinaabe/Ukrainian writer and speaker belonging to Lac Seul First Nation in Treaty 3 territory and residing in Niagara Falls. She serves on the board of the Fort Erie Native Friendship Centre and is the cohost of the Medicine for the Resistance podcast. In November 2021, after three years of personal fundraising, she cofounded the Nii'kinaaganaa Foundation with journalist Nora Loreto and Blackfoot activist Terril Tailfeathers. Nii’kinaaganaa challenges settlers to pay their rent for living on Indigenous lands and then disperses that money to Indigenous people and organizations who are building their communities in a variety of creative ways.
