Re-Release Smoketalk about
"Indigenous Science Fiction"
The Pod was grateful to learn from THE Alycia Two Bears, a Two-Spirit mixed Cree educator and author from Misatawasis Nehiyawak First Nation, about her journey to become a midwife, what is a land-birth, how to decolonize and de-stigmatize blood, reconnecting ceremony and community with birthing, reproductive justice and birth sovereignty, caregiving roles of men and partners within pregnancy, birth, and caregiving, and of course...moss bag science, adult moss bags, and one comfy swaddled podcast host! Remember to tune in next week for "Smoketalk" with the pod team, where we chat more in depth about the topics from the previous episode. Thanks to Bespoke Productions Hub. As always, Emil Starlight for the seamless editing and audio, Alex for pod support and marketing . Remember to check out Alycia's new book "The Feast" (link to this and additional educational resources in the SHOWNOTES link below) Grab a tea with honey, snuggle a small human or fluffy pet, and join us in this incredibly important conversation for EVERYONE (not just women) with ALYCIA TWO BEARS
Episode 2:
"Hopping Dimensions through Humour & Metaphor"
with
Drew Hayden Taylor
Curve Lake First Nation
We were grateful to speak with contemporary storyteller Drew Hayden Taylor, Ojibwe from Curve Lake First Nation about learning to write through osmosis, dimensional hopping & portaging, how Indigenous stories make great Science Fiction, 1492 and Alien contact, anthropomorphizing animals and plants through relationality, humour as WD40, and science fiction as a metaphor for many of life’s issues.
