S1E1 Kim Haxton: Indigeneity, Power of Listening, and Holding the Paradox
Today's guest is Kim Haxton (Potowatomi) from the Wasauksing First Nation in Ontario. She takes her place among thought leaders in the area of decolonization, particularly as it applies to language, art, economics and gender. She encourages the “lateral liberation” of consciousness by drawing from the embodied knowledge of Indigenous peoples. In multi-day workshops, Kim moves people through a personal process of questioning what is the truth and what is simply constructed – effectively rupturing what we “know.” True expression of respect, harmony, inclusion, equity can come from this place.You can find more about Kim and her work here: https://indigeneyez.com/kim Send us a textSupport the showFollow MTR: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/minoritytrip Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@minoritytripreport Subscribe to Quarterly Events Calendar: https://lu.ma/missionclub-mosaic
