In this episode, author and documentary filmmaker Michael Stuart Ani joins me to discuss his book The Ghost Dance: An Untold History of the Americas. In a wide-ranging conversation, Michael discusses his experience of living with the Yanomami, his interactions with Carlos Castaneda and Timothy Leary, why commercializing plant medicines is another form of colonialism, and of course, The Ghost Dance.
