What does it mean to “walk on a feather” in a world weighed down by history, systems, and inherited wounds? How do psychedelics—once outlawed and feared—become teachers of tenderness, reciprocity, and healing? And what wisdom emerges when a lawyer rooted in both Anishinaabe and European ancestry braids modern law with Indigenous wisdom?

Ariel Clark has spent nearly two decades navigating the intersecting worlds of cannabis, psychedelics, and Indigenous rights, all while carrying the complexity of her biracial identity.

In this episode of Everlutionary, Hawah Kasat sits down with attorney and advocate, Ariel Clark to explore how colonization has shaped our systems, why her identity and legal work are inseparable from questions of justice, and how the “red road,” a path of devotion, humility, and balance, offers another way forward.

What We Explore:

• How Ariel’s biracial identity informs her worldview and work in law and advocacy
• The role of boarding schools in attempting to sever Indigenous peoples from language, kinship, and prayer
• Why treaties like “One Dish, One Spoon” offer living models for shared stewardship
• Lessons from cannabis legalization—and the pitfalls for psychedelic commercialization
• Ariel’s caution for the psychedelic movement: what we risk if we replicate Western medical and corporate frameworks
• Why process is the product, and how law and business structures must embody values of care
• “Solutionism” vs. sacred slowness—what it means to resist urgency and move with tenderness
• A closing reflection on water as life, memory, and teacher
