Episode 84: Perspectives from the Yakama Rez

Guests:

Lucy Smartlowit

Robyn Pebeahsy

In this episode I speak to two Indigenous women from the Yakama Reservation. We cover the& history & topic of migration into the Yakama valley, leaving the rez & coming back to the rez, and the delicate issue of trying to connect culturally to our own community.

Lucy & Robyn are two of the hosts of “War Cry Podcast”, War Cry is a podcast ran by Indigenous women that covers that topic of MMIW. Please check out their podcast and support their work.
