Let's Have a Powwow

Amy Farid

LHAP is centered around the Urban Indigenous experience in NYC. We will talk about guests Homelands and How and Why they came to the big city. We will also cover culture and fashion as it is a big part of the Podcast Hosts' life. Being a fat, brown woman working in Fashion for over 20 years I've heard it all! Let's Have a Powwow is inspired by those cringe moments we've had in professional settings where someone has suggested "having a powwow" to discuss work stuff. We are reclaiming the word! So join in and enjoy indigenous excellence. Don't worry, everyone is invited, we will also feature some of my favorite Allies!

    Decolonize Sports with Davy Tiger-Cortes

    Send us a text Ha.We Relatives! This week on the pod, I’m joined by Davy Tiger Cortes, co-founder of Decolonize Sports. An Indigenous-led sports media platform amplifying Native athletes, with a deep focus on lacrosse, also known as The Creator’s Game by the Haudenosaunee. Alongside his cousin Brandon and brother Dominic, Davy has helped build a space where interviews, photography, production, and play-by-play are for us and by us -with Native athletes and coaches offering commentary straight from the sidelines, before and after the game. When he’s not shooting lacrosse, Davy works in film and TV production here in NYC, experience that’s clearly shaped the way Decolonize Sports is telling our stories with intention and skill. Decolonize Sports is a much-needed voice in the sports world-because every press pass is representation, both in front of the camera and behind it. FOLLOW @DECOLONIZESPORTS  WWW.

    Indigenous Drag Excellence Featuring Lady Shug & Oliver Herface

    Send us a text Ha.We Relatives! This week I’m joined by Indigenous drag legends Lady Shug and Oliver Herface, fresh from the First Nations Performing Arts Winter Party here, in Lenapehoking! From Lady Shug’s groundbreaking appearance on HBO’s We’re Here - the first time I ever saw Indigenous drag on a major network, to Oliver Herface’s work as a Two-Spirit Boricua drag king, producer, and cultural force in Brooklyn, this episode is all about visibility, joy, and decolonizing the stage. We talk drag, ceremony, community, salsa, sideshow, and what it means to hold space for our people while living fully in our truth. Thank you to First Nations Performing Arts and Performance Space New York for hosting an unforgettable all-Indigenous drag night.

    SUN ROLLER

    Send us a text This week I’m joined by Sun Roller, a true force in production and community. I first met Sunny during Indigenous New York Fashion Week and immediately knew she had a story that needed to be shared. In this episode, we talk about the many lives Sun Roller has lived, her journey into film and television production, and her work on Reservation Dogs, Poker Face, and The Lowdown. Beyond the credits, Sunny carries a deeply human and generous spirit. Our conversation took an unexpected turn into emotion, presence, and healing, ending with a powerful two-minute solar break meditation that brings us back to breath and the present moment. Sun Roller often says she wants to be a conduit for good work, and she lives that truth. Whether she’s on set in Oklahoma and New York or supporting women in Africa to gain access to fresh water for their families. SunRoller is truly inspirational and I can wait to see what you do next!  Follow her on Instagram @sun.roller Follow SUNROLLER.ORG for more info.  Support the show Follow the pod @letshaveapowwowpod Created and Hosted by Amy z.

    Mickela Mallozzi Host and Creator of Bare Feet with Mickela Mallozzi

    Send us a text This week I’m joined by Mickela Mallozzi. Host, creator, and executive producer of Bare Feet with Mickela Mallozzi. Bare Feet is a thirty-minute travel series that highlights traditional dance and music cultures from around the world. A professional dancer and trained musician, Mickela seamlessly weaves her two greatest passions travel and dance into a show that is as joyful as it is meaningful. Mickela has been my client for over 20 years, and I still remember the day she first told me about the idea for this show. I knew immediately it was going to be something special. Bare Feet is now a four-time Emmy Award winning series, which comes as no surprise because it truly is that good. The authenticity, joy, and passion Mickela brings to the screen are absolutely contagious. Her newest season shines a powerful light on global voices, Indigenous communities, and the deep human connections that dance creates across cultures. I truly believe dance is inherently Indigenous, which is why I love watching Mickela travel the world while uplifting our Indigenous relatives everywhere she goes. You can watch Bare Feet with Mickela Mallozzi on PBS.org and at TravelBareFeet.com.  Follow Mickela @travelbarefeet Support the show Follow the pod @letshaveapowwowpod Created and Hosted by Amy z.

    The Music Episode Feat. Mato Wayuhi and Lucaa

    Send us a text Hawe, cousins! Welcome to the Music Episode! There is so much incredible music coming out of Indian Country right now, and today I’m joined by two of my favorite Native artists to celebrate it. First up, Lucaa calls in to talk about her new single “Feast,” intentionally released this November during Native American Heritage Month and the Thanksgiving holiday. The track is a cinematic clapback to the oppression our ancestors endured and a powerful reminder that colonization did not destroy us. Next, Mato Wayuhi joins the show to dive into his new album Bygoner. He opens up about what inspired the project and drops some serious gems about the importance of staying true to yourself as an artist and a human being.  I’m joined by my good friend Stephen, our resident Rosalia stan, to discuss and dissect LUX. Naturally, we couldn’t leave Florence Welch out of the conversation, her new album Everybody Scream is a raw and vulnerable collection of songs that highlight  the unfair realities women continue to face.    I hope this episode inspires you to create a new playlist or helps you discover your new favorite song. All songs are streaming Now!  Thank you to Lucaa and Mato for taking the time to call in to the Powwow hotline! Y’all go listen to Bygoner and indulge in Lucaa’s Feast!
