Part 1-Quantum Entanglement "Ghosts," Shapeshifters, & Ancestral Visits

After many conversations about the "seemingly irrational" experiences we all have had, the Ancestral Science Pod team decided to gather some cool people amid the season where the veil between worlds is the thinnest, and everyone's intuition and creepy-meter is heightened... In this TWO PART episode, we chatted about Schrödinger's cat and Sasquatch, shapeshifters and star people, glitches in the matrix, how to bargain with the universe, spirit spaces and quantum, overlapping dimensions, and the seemingly unexplainable but Indigenously rational "ghost" stories and creepy happenings. Light a candle, crack open a bag of candy corn, and listen to some stories about spirit and science with Rob Cardinal, Sikapinakii Low Horn, Natasha Donahue, Emil Starlight, Alex Flett, and Kori. Part 2 launched NEXT WEEK!

Reciprocity, Resilience & Tapwe (truth) within Indigenous Cuisine

Cree Chef Shane Chartrand with us out on location at CHARCUT University District. Through kitchen pedagogy of breaking bread to expand relationality, Shane taught us about science of food that is hot and cold, how cutting/chopping/slicing foods differently effects their flavour, the connection between reindeer lichen and moustaches, mushroom identification (or not), Tapwe, the dark history of the Canadian food guide, bannock as resilience, and the importance of reciprocity within food.

Wayfinding through Relational Trigonometry of Stars, Swells, and Spirit

We were grateful to speak with Dr. KAMUELA YONG, a Native Hawaiian mathematician about how mathematics is all around us, calculating latitude by North Star angles, moving islands and the law of cosines, wingspan measurements, Kāuna-number systems, and sea swells as the constant drum beat of navigation.

Friends of Indigenous Science

Ancestral Science was honored to speak with Drs. MIWA TAKEUCHI & EUN-JI AMY KIM and learn how to be an ally/friend to Indigenous Science. We learned about the difference between allyship, friendship, and kinship, how to re-centre scientific voices of children, the Land, and Knowledge Keepers, how mathematics both take and give lives, reconciliation work never ends, and the importance of balancing both understanding the history and trauma of the original peoples of the land with the beauty, innovation, ingenuity, and science within their culture. Despite the guests concerns this episode may take space away from the voices and teachings of Elders and Knowledge Keepers, the pod hosts understand the importance of accomplices and allies; Indigenous people can't do this work alone. Miwa and Amy also donated their honoraria back to the podcast, thank you. You can support the pod through some unique episode-themed Indigenous Science merch at www.relationalsciencecircle.com/shop to support Knowledge Keeper honoraria, editing, and keeping the pod going.

Reconciliation Science through Tipi Math & Indigenous Sound Baths

We were grateful to speak with Brendon Many Bears from Siksika, and Darren Rea, who is Cree Métis about how relational science is magical and indescribable, and a deep part of Indigenous culture. They talked about how science describes how we are all connected, through frequencies and mycorrhizal networks to tipi poles, and the depth of science within the “sacred aerodynamics” of tipi mathematics, healing frequencies of drums and sound bowls, and how multiple worldviews of science and life CAN be woven together.

OG Science of corn calendars, seed ceremonies, & sun daggers

It was a warm late spring morning, just before solstice, filming on Treaty 4 Lands within the beautiful Fort Qu'Appelle Valley. We were grateful to speak with DR. GREGORY CAJETE, Tewa from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico about how Indigenous Science is truly the OG (original) science and his life work of weaving together Indigenous and Western science. He also spoke about the connections between corn, seeds, and the cosmos, biophilia versus biophobia, creation stories and science, being in relationship with plants and animals, sun daggers and the Solstice Project, and quantum thought.

Everything is Aware: Quantum Consciousness & Spirit in Science

We were grateful to NATASHA DONAHUE, a Métis physicist and Indigenous Science educator, about Science and Spirituality, the linear and restrictive history of science, the depth of scientific knowledges within astrology and alchemy, time as a biproduct of energy exchange, how "everything is aware," dwelling in the flux of the "greyspace," and the questions around and relationality of star beings and UFO's.

Alignment of Planets, Stars, & Stories

As we waited for the First Thunder of the season, I was grateful to speak with Wilfred "The Star Guy" Buck, from Opaskwayak Cree Nation and Siksika Astrophysicist Rob Cardinal about the science and stories of the recent Solar Eclipse, the reverence and silence within the darkness of totality, the connection between the alignment, states of matter, and ceremonies, protocols of NOT LOOKING at these significant cosmic events, the Creation of "Tipis and Telescopes," the three-body problem, the North Star and moon cycles, and the origin of the Thunderbirds.
