This week on STPT, Danielle Holland and Puja Datta dive headfirst into boundaries, discussing how they impact and inform our relationships with ourselves, one another, and our greater community. Then, they are joined by Roxanne White (she/her), Grass Roots Organizer and Social Justice Advocate who has dedicated her work to Indian Country. Roxanne and hosts discuss MMIP and why the missing aunts, sisters, and daughters become stories that remain siloed within Native communities. Roxanne shares that for every Sacred person they search for, march for, grieve for, is another person whom law enforcement disregarded, devalued, dehumanized. That every Border Town and city ignored, abused, abducted, and trafficked in. These people become the stories that news media refuses to tell, the cases that legal systems do not prosecute for, and that white feminists write up resolutions that will travel no where with. Roxanne shares the work she does, the hard work of fighting for answers, for a semblance of justice, and for the lives of so many Indigenous peoples. Within this heavy work, White brings hope, be it in her visions from the Ancestors, to her new ideas and imaginings of reparations and resilience. We offer you this weeks conversation, that together we may stand in solidarity. Donate to MMIP at unkitawa - (Select MMIP Families from Dropdown).
