How are Indigenous youth thinking about reconciliation? Ft. Riley Yesno
Where do Indigenous youth find the space to be revolutionary?
Riley Yesno has explored the many facets of Indigenous resurgence throughout most of her life, and has been advocating for “reconciliation” since she was 15 years old. Her time on the Prime Minister's Youth council was troubling – proudly hailing herself as a “shit disturber” – but that time still inspired her interest in native politics. Today she’s working on her PhD, studying Indigenous youth and reconciliation and hosts the podcast, REDsurgence.
We discuss the state of Indigenous youth revolutions from in-person community, to organizing and representation in the digital age, and Land Back and what it really means for Indigenous futurism.
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.
