What would a decolonized world look like? How can we spend more time building the world we want to live in, while still fighting back against oppressive systems? This week we're focusing on the work of two Indigenous environmental leaders, Winona LaDuke and Sherri Mitchell. We discuss teenage Winona's decision to use her high school debate skills at the U.N. Conference in Geneva, how to learn from Indigenous wisdom without extraction, and ways to dismantle white supremacist and colonial capitalist practices in our lives, even those that have benefitted us. Other topics include the 80/10/10 rule, the dandelion insurrection, and the song of the summer as decided by Elise's cat.
