In this inspiring conversation, Green Fire Press publisher Jennifer Browdy talks with Hilary Giovale, author of Becoming A Good Relative: Calling White Settlers Toward Truth, Healing and Repair.

Going deep and ranging widely, Hilary talks with Jennifer about her identity as a ninth-generation American settler whose ancestors benefitted from grants of stolen land, the stolen lives and labor of enslaved peoples, and systemic racism.

Becoming a Good Relative shares remedies for the debilitating shame that can overtake white Americans when we face our peoples’ colonial past and our current complicity with systemic white supremacy. It offers a unique methodology, supported by African American and Indigenous Elders, for entering into mutually beneficial reciprocal relationships with Native peoples, ancestors, and the spirits of the land.
