In this episode, Kaitlin discusses her own journey of decolonization and connection to her Potawatomi heritage. She explains that decolonization is the breaking down of systems of colonization, both personally and systemically. Kaitlin challenges us to look at the ways that colonization has affected all of us—not just those who are oppressed—because we can’t live in denial without our scabs becoming scars. She concludes by telling listeners that we have to be honest about the story of America and the trauma of colonization so that we can face it and heal together. After Kaitlin’s talk, Jeff and Sarah reflect on the deeply personal nature of decolonization, how it reconnects us to our roots, and how it makes room for us all.
