We're Still Here with Simon and Julie

We're Still Here with Simon and Julie

John speaks with Julie Francella - a mental health professional with over 30 years experience in handling complex trauma with Indigenous youth and families. She's a member of the Ojibway of Batchewana First Nation Reserve, and teaches Indigenous Studies at Durham College, focusing on the impacts of colonization on First Nations people; and Simon Moya-Smith - an Oglala Lakota and Chicano journalist. He’s a contributing writer at NBC News and TheNation.com. He’s the author of the forthcoming book, ‘Your Spirit Animal is a Jackass,’ and he's an Adjunct Professor of Indigenous Studies at the University of Colorado Denver. This week they discuss Trump expanding 'woke' criticism from the Smithsonian to other museums including the Museum of the American Indian and Tennessee Universities that are no longer allowed to host Native American themed events. They dive into the breaking news of Alligator Alcatraz being shut down by the Miccosukee Nation; unpack the history of where the idea of three meals a day really came from; and took some powerful calls from listeners who brought their own insights to the conversation.
