Don’t Hold a Grudge: Auntie Wisdom & Wild Laughter with Claudia Oldman

Real Native Roots: Untold Stories Podcast is honored to feature Claudia Oldman—a grounded and wise Navajo matriarch, storyteller, and beloved auntie. In this tender, laughter-filled episode, Claudia joins her niece and host Vickie Oldman to reflect on healing, kinship, forgiveness, and what it means to show up fully as ourselves. From boarding school memories to Bee Gees ballads, Claudia offers deep wisdom (don’t hold a grudge!), infectious humor, and heartfelt lessons passed down from her father, the late Jim Oldman.

This special episode also features a recap of all the 2024 podcast guests, where Claudia and Vickie reflect on what they learned from each person:

From @Ka_naatamakayt, we’re reminded of the sacredness of petroglyphs, land protection, and being “free on the land.”
@LorenAnthony1 shows us what community service, humor, and metal music can look like in harmony.
@ahasteengrapgics - Jack Ahasteen brings powerful storytelling through cartoon art and cultural critique, wrapped in oral tradition and visual satire.
@_juan_2_tree and @ burn_the_wagon -- Juan Dominguez lights a path for Native men to decolonize, heal from toxicity, and rise in truth.
@wisdomofwillow -- Willow Blythe Carroll teaches us to retrain our minds, embrace our light, and bravely confront the fear of being seen.
