Indigenous Lives
Every few months a new "controversy" seems to arise in the American news media regarding Native American cultures. Another sports team refuses to change its racist feather-wearing mascot; a politician insists on her claim to native status; a newscaster makes a predictably stereotypical comment.
So what about the news from the other side? Beyond the mainstream media that tends to highlight extreme cases, what political and personal issues are most important to Native Americans today? Matika Wilbur (Swinomish and Tulalip) and Adrienne Keene (Cherokee Nation) started the podcast "All My Relations" to provide the often missing perspective among popular discourse: the indigenous one.
A recurring theme is the way that indigenous issues intersect with issues of gender, race, and sexuality across the board—as well as structural economic issues such as food distribution and energy use. The result is an articulate and often funny conversation relevant to any demographic.
