In the Go Smudge Yourself Podcast episode, Jen Green discusses various forms of wealth redistribution and restitution beyond capitalism. Upon noticing that her original All About Land Acknowledgements Episode 25 discussed the why and how of Land Acknowledgements, Jen realized there was a gap in the “What now?” part of the Reconciliation-Based Land Acknowledgement framework. This episode is designed to fill that gap and give listeners the next steps for participating in Reconciliation through wealth redistribution and restitution beyond monetary means. Jen provides examples of how to use money, time, Knowledge, and privilege to participate in Reconciliation and give back to your community in a way that benefits that Nation whose Land you live on. She also discusses the wealth and power gap that makes restitution outside of capitalism so important.
Mahsi Meduh Thank You
- P.S. Visit my website for a new and improved 7-Step Protocol for a Reconciliation-Based Land Acknowledgement!
- P.P.S. I want to correct my language when speaking about abortion rights. Rather than saying women’s rights and bodily autonomy, I want to clarify that abortion rights impact anyone with a uterus, including those who don’t identify as women. I apologize ahead of time to any listeners who this impacts!

"I think so many of us have lofty expectations for ourselves, again coming back to that 'ideal contributing citizen, family member, etc.' that’s sold to us from a young age. We’re taught that we have to be great and do great things, but the reality is that only creates an ideal self. So when your current self, the Being you are today, doesn’t measure up, it’s upsetting.”

In this episode of the Cultivating Safe Spaces Podcast, Jen explains why we need to cultivate safe spaces. Often times we might question if changing the way we do things is even really necessary, so in this episode, we discuss who most spaces are currently made safe for as a default, what a safe space actually is, and what some of the benefits of cultivating safe spaces are.

In this episode of the Go Smudge Yourself Podcast, Jen Green discusses how borders are colonial. She also explains some of the impacts that these imposed borders have had, and continue to have, on the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island. This episode uses the example of territorial overlap between the White River First Nation and Kluane First Nation, and how the colonial legality of territorial overlap has left White River First Nation without recognized Land.
Jen also uses the short story, “Borders,” by Thomas King to further explain how borders are used in the colonization of Indigenous Peoples and our Land.
