  1. Auntie Dr. Beverly Jacobs (Kanyen'kehà:ka) Justice Activist

    -3 J

    Auntie Dr. Beverly Jacobs (Kanyen'kehà:ka) Justice Activist

    AUNTIE: Wa’tkwanonweráton Sewakwé:kon Today we’re visiting with Dr. Beverly Jacobs - beloved Kanyen’kehà:ka/Mohawk citizen who is Bear Clan, an activist and justice leader for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and land back efforts. She’s a law professor and Indigenous advisor at University of Windsor and Bev’s life and work focuses on Indigenous wellness on a global scale as it intersects with both Haudenosaunee and Western law. Her grounding and inspiration comes from powerful teachers in her own family and our greater communities. BEVERLY: So as I was doing the interviews with the Knowledge Holders and I was asking them about our laws, almost every one of them said it is about our responsibility. And then when we talk about colonial law – all of a sudden it becomes about rights. So that is the visual that I have in my dissertation with the Two Row. In our canoe is responsibilities and in their ship is rights. And that if we are to have a healthy relationship the way it was intended to be, then they would both be working at the same time. AUNTIE: Bev has been walking a long road of reclaiming her power from profound personal and community loss and abuse as she brings those around her with her through her fierce intellect, great humour, and authenticity including that time she dropped an f-bomb in a job interview to see if her future employers could handle some snark. Spoiler alert – they laughed and gave her a job. BEVERLY: But I am just like totally honest. To me being honest to who I am in the situation like I am not holding, I have never held back since I’ve reclaimed my voice. Yep. I am speaking my truth all the time. AUNTIE: I am Kahstoserakwathe Paulette Moore and we are Yeti Nistenha ne Tekaronyakánare – The Aunties Dandelion. We’re thrilled to bring you these visits with Indigenous changemakers who are focused on revitalizing our land, languages and relationships. Wa’tkwanonweráton to Canada’s Indigenous Screen office for their continued support of this podcast and great thanks to you all for stopping by - to listen to your Aunties.

    Aunties Emergent! Filmmaker/Host Loren Waters (Cherokee/Kiowa) visits with Artist Dana Tiger (Muscogee/Seminole/Cherokee)

    On this edition of the Aunties Dandelion - our Aunties Emergent series returns as filmmaker/host Loren Waters (Cherokee/Kiowa) visits with her friend and Auntie/Artist Dana Tiger. Loren recently completed a 12-minute film TIGER about Dana and her family's artistic legacy as the two talk about their joys and challenges and expansiveness of being Indigenous creators. The two met on the set of Reservation Dogs where Loren was background casting director and Dana appeared on the iconic Season Two episode where the community gathers to say goodbye to Grandma Mabel. The two have made a beautiful kinship with each other and we all can benefit from their examples of how creators support each other.

  3. The Aunties Who Are Saving Tuscarora Language

    The Aunties Who Are Saving Tuscarora Language

    AUNTIE: Wa’tkwanonhweráton Greetings, Love, and Respect from us to all of you. Today we are visiting with three amazing women who’ve come together to create Tuscarora Nation’s mighty language programs called Neyekwaweta’tkwáhsheg. Tuscarora Nation, or Skarúre, is located in Western New York and is part of our Haudenosaunee/Rotinonhsyón:ni Confederacy of Six Nations. Some people want to call their language extinct because they lost their last first language speaker – in 2018. But Lynette Printup, Betsy Bissell, Caitlin Phillips and so many others are creating a very different reality. They’ve spent years methodically and joyfully lighting the fire of their language on this territory of about 12 hundred people. Here’s Lynette: LYNETTE: Howdy Hill was our speaker and he would talk to us about the fact that he wanted to live to be 100 years old. That was his goal. He didn't quite make it. That would have been in 2022. But if he had made it he would have been alive to see our first language speakers going through the curriculum. He worked tirelessly. AUNTIE: The group created language opportunities from early, early childhood right through high school and into adulthood. And while we spent much of this visit laughing – there were moments of deep emotion – as in this exchange with Betsy Bissell. KPM: Where are the tears coming from? BETSY: Pride in what they have accomplished. Knowing that our language will continue. During this process we have heard other people say "Oh, Tuscarora language is dead. We heard it was dead. And it's not. I’m host Kahstoserakwathe and we are Yéthi Nisthénha ne Tekaronyakénare – The Aunties Dandelion. We’re thrilled to offer these visits with Indigenous changemakers who are revitalizing their communities through stories of land, language, and relationships. Wa’tkwanonhweráton to the folks at Indigenous Screen Office teyonhkiwihstekénha – who provide the support we need for these important conversations. When you like, share, and comment on these episodes – that helps bring more of these healing stories to you. And as always – we are thrilled you are here to listen to your Aunties.

  7. Auntie Shelley Niro, Legendary Kanyen'kehà:ka Artist, Filmmaker, Photographer

    22 MAI

    Auntie Shelley Niro, Legendary Kanyen'kehà:ka Artist, Filmmaker, Photographer

    AUNTIE: Oh. My. Goodness Sewakwékon. How to begin to introduce the epic Kanyen’kehà:ka Mohawk artist. Shelley Niro - who I am proud to say is from my home community of Six Nations of the Grand River. Wa’tkwanonhweráton - Greetings, Love and Respect from me to all of you. This Is Yethi Nistenha ne Tekarontakénare -- The Aunties Dandelion podcast and I’m Kahstoserakwathe. Shelley Niro is a painter, beader, photographer, filmmaker, wood block print maker and so much more - who has been beautifully and relentlessly reinventing her artistic expressions over the past four decades. Through this dynamic work, Shelley maintains core themes of the strength of Rotinonhsyón:ni women and matriarchy, freedom, sovereignty, history, family, and the healing inherent in our relationships. Tahnon é:so tsi yakostérihst – AND she is VERY funny -in her work and in person. Right now, Shelley is in the midst of her first retrospective exhibit – titled the 500-Year-Itch - which features more than 70 art pieces and films. The exhibit is traveling to major museums across the U.S. and Canada until February of 2025 – so go check that out! Shelley discusses how the process of going through her lifetime of massive works – both in quantity and in size - for this show has led to both surprise and validation. SHELLEY: When you are doing the work I didn’t think like ‘wow, what an egomaniac you are!’ you know – this work is so large. I also make it big because I want to make it fun for the viewer to be standing in front of – sort of participating in the work in that scale. You know if it was this size – PAULETTE: Mona Lisa size. SHELLEY: Yeah, it would not be as much fun. I try to have the viewer engage. AUNTIE: Throughout this visit – listen for the ways Shelley’s humour and very personal expression adds to the profound impact of her work. Nyá:wenkò:wa to the Indigenous Screen Office of Canada for the funding to create another season of our podcast. And please like this episode, give us some feedback, and share it with others. We are thrilled you are here - to listen to your Aunties.
