Summary
In this episode, Simon Moya Smith and Julie Francella discuss the powerful speech delivered by Harrison Ford at Arizona State University, where he called for cultural change, social justice, and respect for Indigenous peoples. Simon, an Oglala Lakota Chicano journalist, and Julie, an Ojibwe writer and therapist, share their insights on the significance of Ford's message, its impact on Indigenous communities, and the ongoing struggle for recognition and rights. The conversation delved into how historical policies have affected access to healthy foods, resulting in high rates of diabetes and other health issues. They stressed the need for Indigenous food systems to be recognized and revitalized, as they are essential for cultural identity and community health. Simon and Julie encourage listeners to engage with Indigenous issues and support initiatives that promote cultural understanding and respect. They reminded us that the fight for justice is not just an Indigenous issue, but a human issue that affects us all.
