Native Women Speak

On today's podcast we have Olivia Big Tree. Today we'll hear about how she was picked to be the subject of a New York Times article about her art. Listeners please excuse the inconsistency in the audio. I am still learning how to operate and control the podtrack system that I use in recording interviews. Some of what I thought was recorded was in fact not recorded and my audio engineer had to piece together the interview as best he could. 
Nya wenha!

On today's episode Joie and I gather with some women friends and talk about those memes we all see on social media. You know the ones, they talk about the effects of trauma. You will hear us talk about what that really looks like in our every day lives. It's interesting how we're all different yet have similar experiences. Tune in and find out.

On today's episode we talk about the insane amount of times we moved when she was a child. The struggles of moving so much and how it shaped us into the women we are today. We talk about moving around Syracuse, NY, moving to Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, and Washington State. And, eventually parting ways. Joie moves back to New York and I stay in Washington and the reasons behind this decision.

In today's episode I talk with ladies from around the Haudenosaunee Confederacy about returning to our traditional teachings as a priority focus for our Indigenous children. In this discussion I referenced a podcast by Redwing Thomas called H'upahu Duta. I totally recommend listening to this podcast, it is very inspirational!
