Our hosts break down their own interpretations of how to respect their Native identity in a modern world. From interactions with other indigenous communities on social media, to information and recordings shared about tribal culture and customs. Non-Native people interacting in Native spaces, and the balance of maintaining tradition while looking at the positive side of modern digital platforms.
Ye'se'eh! Sibling Hopi hosts DD and JD invite you back to hear Modern Native Narratives in the 21st century. For our 13th Episode, we talk about the inspiration of making content and how social media spaces play a key role in not only sharing Native voices, but fostering a sense of community and fueling the Native economy, gatherings, and movements.
In what ways have you resonated with online social media and the Native Community? Do you feel some platforms hold too much influence over those who generate business?
In the first comeback episode for our new season of i21, DeeDee shares her recent life altering accident. Her experience in the ER with JD at her side, and some events that followed after friends and family heard about what happened. While telling her story, JD offers comment on how he has seen DeeDee handle her journey since, and DeeDee tells how her brother helped her through it since the day it happened.
Your Native Sibling Hosts are BACK and we wish to bring more discussions to the ears of our audience. This shorter episode is a trial run for our new season of content with our new recording set up. As mentioned, changes have been experienced, as we are sure with your own lives as well. JD comments on entering his 30s, DD reflects on past recorded episodes and technical hiccups. We both express our appreciation for our growing audience and desire to host future guests. Pew huvam yee'seh'eh! Come and join us!
Our hosts respond to their first voicemail message from an audience member, Randy, who asks what are some things that needed to be "unlearned" while transitioning to an urban lifestyle from the reservation.

DeeDee calls attention to hate crimes that have been targeted towards the Asian community. Both hosts discuss variables of parallels that can be connected between various minority communities and experiences of being overlooked or feeling unheard on issues that impact people of color. Ideas on ways we can unify against ignorance and hate, rather than only choose to look at our cultural differences.
In this episode JD chats with Neebin Southall, an Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) Native artist living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Both identify as Two Spirit within their respective tribal communities and discuss the aspects of gender roles in tribal society, as well as adaptations throughout history and influence from Colonial Christianity. Both discuss vulnerable experiences in struggling with connecting their LGBTQ identities to Indigenous lifestyle, and thoughts of challenging gender specific roles in their tribal culture.
