In this episode we hear from Korina Barry on her work with NDN Collective and the campaign to free Leonard Peltier, in addition to reflections on her roles as mother, doula, and metal fabricator in training.

A citizen of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, Korina Barry manages the organizing, policy and advocacy direct-action arm of NDN Collective, which, in January 2025, led the successful campaign to free Leonard Peltier from prison. 

She divides her creative energies between metal fabrication and sewing. It is her role as mother to a young daughter that trains her energies on creating a better world for the next generation to inherit. She also discusses how her childbirth experience led her to seek out training as a doula to help Indigenous mothers impacted by the medical system.
