What do food sovereignty and decolonizing diets, both incredibly political & intimate ideas, really look like? Come learn from my dialogue with Uncle Dean Wilhelm, the co-founder & Executive Director of Ho‘okua ‘Āina. Nestled in the ahupua’a of Kailua at Kapalai in Maunawili on the island of O'ahu, this non-profit organization uses Hawaiian traditions of kalo (or taro) cultivation to improve the lives of today’s youth & build a healthy community. It’s a manifestation of Dean and Michele Wilhelm’s vision to create a gathering place for people in the community to connect with and care for the ‘aina (or land), perpetuate Hawaiian culture through the cultivation & preparation of kalo, & to be a place that would ultimately bring healing to people, especially at-risk youth. Since 2007, the Wilhelms along with a hui (or group) of collaborators & community volunteers have restored 7.6 acres to be abundant & productive. Today the lo‘i (or wetland taro patch) is an ideal outdoor learning environment for ‘āina-based education.

What’s the history of settlers in the US, especially white ones, playing Indian? Some listeners may be new to conversations about this topic that are grounded in history, context, & an analysis of power. Learn more from my dialogue with Professor Philip Deloria, who you may have seen recently in the documentary "More Than a Word: a Film about Native American-based sports mascots & the Washington Redskins."

Are you weirded out by the way that some folks talk about Indigenous spiritualities? On today’s episode of Feral Visions, we’re delving into the romantic idea of ‘Indian spirituality.’ Come learn from Dr. David Delgado Shorter about some of the power dynamics thru which it’s been imagined & maintained within the dominant, Eurocentric, settler colonial US. We’ll discuss some material implications of generalizations about Indigenous spiritualities, including who & what benefits from them in our current neocolonial context. Join me as we bravely unlearn so we can then shift our practices & decolonize this society.

Have you considered grad school, but heard horror stories from radical BIPOC activists about staggering debt, apathetic environments, & micro aggressions, let alone macro aggressions? For folks considering having anything to do with the academic industrial complex, this dialogue may support your doing so in as liberatory & as harm-reductionist of a way as possible. Come learn from Dr. Carolina Prado about being a radical feminist BIPOC navigating grad school in the service of our collective transformation.

If you decide to go to grad school or are currently navigating that system, what can you do to make your experience as liberatory as possible & to reduce harm to yourself & others while there? Feel free to leave your musings in the comments section below.
