Remembering Resilience Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode, we explore how our personal and collective histories as Native Americans make us what we are today.  While trauma, pain and collective grief are present, these are not our only inheritances. Join us as we seek ways to reshape our story—which includes looking back to understand how we got where we are, to consider what in our culture lies dormant, sleeping... as we examine what needs to be reawakened.

In this episode, we highlight that much of the emerging knowledge from Western ways of knowing has confirmed what many of our tribal communities have known since time immemorial – that our traditional ways of knowing and being hold much wisdom for all of us.  Taking care of our babies has been a core lesson in traditional wisdom for us as a people. We look to the intersections of these understandings to discover lessons on our pathway forward to a new story, that will help us to continue to overcome the current day challenges for a brighter and more hopeful future.

In this episode, we explore how listening and learning have emerged as a key component of connecting with community in an authentic way. Attachment and relationship remain the key components to feeling connected in our world, to feeling that we belong. In the context of both individual and collective healing, it brings us to the question, ‘How might we continue to connect in a good way to make these protective factors even more powerful?’

In this episode, we explore the idea that collective trauma requires collective healing.  As co-host Briana Matrious so aptly puts it, “The most powerful healing that has happened in my life has been in community with one another.”  We explore what that means for us as individuals—both personally and professionally – as we move through these current times together.

Description:
As children, we develop “attachment styles” as a result of the parenting we receive, and we carry these habits into our adult relationships. In this episode, listeners learn about the four main attachment styles, how they often come about in child-parent relationships, and how developing a consciousness of these patterns can help us choose and develop healthy relationships as adults. Podcast hosts Susan Beaulieu, Briana Matrious, and Linsey McMurrin discuss how in Native American communities attachment styles and parenting are mixed up with the intergenerational inheritance of trauma from the boarding school era and other violence wrought by colonization. Leading by example with their own personal reflections, the hosts begin charting a path towards disrupting unhealthy relationship patterns and remembering the resilience passed down through generations who have survived and kept the wisdom and values of their communities alive.

Description: 

As children, our need for connection can override our impulse to be true to our authentic selves. But in adulthood we can choose our relationships and the boundaries that govern them. With this freedom comes the responsibility to balance our needs for attachment and authenticity with the health and well-being of ourselves and others. We may want to be generous with our time and energy, but if we give too much we risk depleting ourselves and creating dependence in others. In this episode, listeners hear how podcast hosts Susan Beaulieu and Briana Matrious have experimented with setting and maintaining healthier boundaries in their lives, and how that intersects with their identities as indigenous women.

Description: 

In this episode, podcast host Linsey McMurrin explores the connections between Western and indigenous systems of thought for building healthy people and communities. In her non-profit career she works to educate communities in Social Emotional Learning (SEL), a Western framework for developing healthy social and emotional skills. But as a proud Anishinaabe woman, she also recognizes that the traditional wisdom of her ancestors was designed to do the same thing, well before SEL existed. Exploring connections between SEL and the Seven Grandfather Teachings, Linsey reflects on how reclaiming a relationship to traditional wisdom can be a part of restoring dignity and authenticity for herself and her community. Linsey is helped along in her reflections by her two sons: 12-year-old Isaias and 7-year-old Tobias.

In this episode, we share how the relatively new field of epigenetics provides us with a scientific point of entry to understanding traditional systems of knowledge that can now be understood more widely.  It helps us unpack first and foremost for our own communities why the experiences of our ancestors still affect us today.  We delve into the intricate dance of how our DNA, our gene expression, and our experiences and environment combine to impact how we interact and perceive and respond to the world around us.
