Description
How do you stay connected to Indigenous values like kinship, community and sustainability while living in a colonial society?
In this episode, Jesse Wente, an award-winning, Anishinaabe writer, broadcaster, and arts leader, joins the Matriarch Movement podcast to discuss what it really looks like to be a changemaker in colonial institutions as an Indigenous person.
Jesse has made a massive imprint in the Canadian arts sector, working at the CBC and TIFF, and leading the Indigenous Screen Office and the Canada Council for the Arts. Shayla and Jesse have a candid conversation about their experiences working in colonial institutions, therapy and burn out, Bill C-11 and creating opportunities for Indigenous creators, and they discuss what it means to shift their values from “doing” to “being”.
Matriarch Movement is created and hosted by Shayla Oulette Stonechild and produced by Kattie Laur. Theme music is "Sisters" by Wolf Saga, Chippewa Travellers and David R. Maracle.
