Shanese Indoowaaboo Steele talks representation, solidarity, and Afro-Indigeneity.
Description
What does “Indigeneity” look like to you?
In this episode, The Matriarch Movement podcast is joined by Shanese Indoowaaboo Steel. Shanese is an Afro-Indigenous, Fat Femme who's fought for the advancement of Indigenous and Racialized student rights within the Post-Secondary institution. Shanese also consults on curriculums and training around Black and Indigenous issues.
We discuss the histories of Black and Indigenous peoples in Canada and the imprint that those histories have left. We explore topics of kinship, solidarity and accountability within Indigenous communities. We also discuss the importance of Afro-Indigenous media representation and notably, what came from calling out a large make-up brand’s “Indigenous” campaign.
Matriarch Movement is created and hosted by Shayla Oulette Stonechild and produced by Kattie Laur. Theme music is "Sisters" by Wolf Saga, Chippewa Travellers and David R. Maracle.
