There is a longing for exploring ancestry, but romanticizing stories without acknowledging historical truths can be a pitfall. Not everyone can trace their exact lineage due to various challenges. Honoring one's present life and focusing on the collective impact on future generations is encouraged, as individualism can be damaging. The concept of the seven generations prophecy prompts reflection on the legacy we leave for the future and the impact of our ancestors, regardless of their identities. Embracing this topic, though painful, is advocated for growth and understanding.
In the past few years, resistance has been a live issue for many of us, whether we’re wondering for the first time how to bring about social change, or realising that we need to find new ways to be activists.
For Kaitlin Curtice, this resistance is an ongoing practice, informed by her perspective as an Indigenous American, and imbued with gentleness, integrity and personal sustainability. In this episode, we talk about her book, Living Resistance, how her own perspective developed over time, and - appropriately for this podcast - how we can live in this unsettling moment.
Katherine's new book, Enchantment, is available now: US/CAN and UK
