PODCASTS
Miakoda discusses the challenges and opportunities of rematriating the lifeways, lands, and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples.
Fireside chat at the 2021 Nature Connection Leadership Conference with Pınar Sinopolous-Lloyd (founder of Queer Nature) about the importance of decolonizing the “nature connection field” and rematriating Indigenous land and lifeways.
Miakoda speaks about the transformation of personal and ancestral trauma into resilience and wisdom as a mother and steward of Fierce Allies.
“With every traumatic experience, there is the invitation to build resilience. Fierce Allies is relationship-based strategy for change, where we show up with fierce resiliency, fierce humility, fierce love, and fierce curiosity about how we can shift from being part of the problem to being part of the solution - and not just the solutions to our own problems, but solutions to the collective dis-memberment of our society.”
Miakoda unpacks the role of white fragility, its relationship to shame, numbness and rage, and the ways to “keep ourselves on the hook,” in order to participate in the healing of our nation’s deepest wound.
“If you are sincere in your commitment to dismantling white supremacy and creating more equity and justice, do the work to stay open, no matter how quiet the conversation gets.”
Find out how Miakoda was REALLY doing as a BIPOC single mom, during the early days of COVID-19 and black murder pandemics, and what they are REALLY needing from white allies.
“Figure out how to get yourself ON the hook, until every single living being has the privilege to walk away from discomfort.”
Miakoda deconstructs systemic oppression through the Fierce Allies Practice of Change.
“People who have been systemically oppressed understand the harm of abuses of power, and need to leverage that AS power.”
