For a long time it’s been non-Indigenous people telling Indigenous stories, and that means that stereotypes and a lack of humanity and empathy has been perpetuated in the media for years. Award-winning Indigenous podcaster and journalist, Connie Walker, joins the Matriarch Movement podcast to discuss her approach to trauma-informed storytelling, and what it was like to uncover the truth behind her family’s history in Canada’s residential school system. We unpack the power in giving Indigenous people the agency and the opportunity to tell their own stories, why we’re so inspired by the younger generation, and what a meaningful future could look like for native journalists. Matriarch Movement is created and hosted by Shayla Oulette Stonechild and produced by Kattie Laur. Theme music is "Sisters" by Wolf Saga, Chippewa Travellers and David R. Maracle.

Where do Indigenous youth find the space to be revolutionary? Riley Yesno has explored the many facets of Indigenous resurgence throughout most of her life, and has been advocating for “reconciliation” since she was 15 years old. Her time on the Prime Minister's Youth council was troubling  – proudly hailing herself as a “shit disturber” – but that time still inspired her interest in native politics. Today she’s working on her PhD, studying Indigenous youth and reconciliation and hosts the podcast, REDsurgence. We discuss the state of Indigenous youth revolutions from in-person community, to organizing and representation in the digital age, and Land Back and what it really means for Indigenous futurism.

What happens when Indigenous fashion is on the global stage? In February 2023, Sage Paul took seven Indigenous designers to Milan Fashion Week as a part of a three-year partnership between Indigenous Fashion Arts and White Milano, a tradeshow for international womenswear. Sage Paul is the Founding Executive and Artistic Director at Indigenous Fashion Arts, and in this episode I talk to her about her goal of increasing the visibility of Indigenous artists and the impact of partnerships like the one with White Milano. We also unpack some of the important themes that come up in the Indigenous fashion space in North America like family and sovereignty, but also our complex relationships to fur and the Hudson's Bay Company, and how those themes impact Indigenous fashion.

Aly Bear (Tatanka Ska Win) is a proud mother and descendant of Dakota, Anishinaabe and Nehiyaw heritage. She is a member of the Whitecap Dakota First Nation where her father, Darcy Bear, currently serves as the Nation's Chief.

Since, Aly worked on a wide range of files, including corporate commercial, labour and employment, civil litigation and intellectual property.

One of the highlights of Aly's legal career to date has been the opportunity to work on the Whitecap Dakota First Nation's Self Government and Dakota Treaty files. After much thought and careful consideration, Aly has decided to run for third Vice-Chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. Aly is passionate about her roots, and connecting to her identity through ceremony.
