Indigenous Education, Climate Change, and Technologies of Care - Ep 64

On today's episode, Jessica interviews Dr. Clint Carroll, Associate Professor of Native American and Indigenous Studies in the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and ᏣᎳᎩᎯ ᎠᏰᎵ ᎡᎲᎢ (Cherokee Nation Citizen). Jessica and Clint discuss his interdisciplinary community based work with the Cherokee Nation. He describes how the history of colonialism has challenged Cherokee relationships with the land, but also how the Cherokee Nation has sustained or reformed relationships to the land despite that painful legacy. Finally, Clint describes his efforts in conjunction with the Cherokee Nation Medicine Keepers to continue to support Cherokee connections to the land in the face of climate change through technologies of care, education, land management policy, and access.

Ethnography, Videography, and Public Anthropology - Episode 13

On today’s episode, Jessica interviews Dr. Sean Gantt, Acting Director of Education for Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. He talks about his vision for education at Crow Canyon, the value of public anthropology, and what drew him to this type of work. Sean also talks about his work as a graduate student working for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. There he helped with the development of an interpretation plan for the Nanih Waiya cultural landscape, the Choctaw Mother Mound, which was transferred to the tribe from a state park. From there we discuss videography and ethnography, including the importance of community based and reciprocal methods. Finally we close out by talking about specific ways that anthropology can improve as a discipline, including the role of conferences, and specific actions individual anthropologists can take to make anthropology a safer space for indigenous people.

In today’s episode, Lyle Balenquah interviews Susan Sekaquaptewa and Marissa Nuvayestewa about their efforts to build a Hopi museum and learning center by Hopi, for Hopi. They and their team are in the thick of working on turning this idea into a reality and they break down that process in this episode. They talk about the original idea behind the Hopivewat museum and learning center and how they have been working with the community to continue to develop the idea. They particularly touch on the importance of building relationships and partnerships, selecting an organizational structure, finding resources and funding, and how to use cultural roles as a strength rather than seeing them as a challenge. This episode provides fantastic guidance for anyone looking to do community-based projects with tribes!
