    Reclaiming The Wild (w/ Gina Rae La Cerva)

    This week on STPT, Danielle Holland and Puja Datta discuss the media outpour and allocation of local, national and federal resources towards the tragic search for Gabby Petito. Taking in the larger national context of missing and murdered women, they share some key thoughts from their recent conversation with Roxanne White, nationally recognized for her work on issues related to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People. “Nobody is searching for us, except for us” White shared about the erasure, invisibility, and devaluing of #MMIW in this country. We invite listeners to support White’s work by donating to MMIP and Families at Unkitawa.  Then, award-winning writer, geographer, and environmental anthropologist, Gina Rae La Cerva joins the show. La Cerva speaks to a reclaiming of ourselves as part of the wild, exploring how we can tend to nature and one another with support and connection. It is through this survival of connections, as we face a future of uncertainty, that La Cerva reminds us “We have to release this trauma, we have to start processing it. And it’s not individual, it’s always going to be collective.” Drop into this week's lush conversation, as they forage through capitalism, conservation history, and reconnection to pleasure. Let us all find our small joys in this f****d up world. Gina Rae La Cerva is an award-winning writer, geographer, and environmental anthropologist originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico.  An avid adventurer, La Cerva has researched tsunamis in Indonesia, crossed the Pacific Ocean on a sailboat, and traced the wild meat trade from the forests of the Congo Basin to the streets of Paris. Her first book, Feasting Wild: In Search of the Last Untamed Food was selected for the New York Times Summer Reading List, and chosen by Amazon as a Best Non-Fiction Book of 2020.

    We Stand In Resilience With Our Ancestors (w/ Roxanne White)

    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.
