As we wrap up Native American Heritage Month and enter a holiday week for some, this episode has perfect timing! Wabanaki Territory, or what some call the State of Maine, is a sacred place. A place that has provided Wabanaki people abundance for thousands of years. A place that desperately needs her people to heal. Wabanaki territory and Wabanaki people are deeply connected, holding knowledge that provides the nourishment for both to thrive. Ambassadors Maulian Bryant and Zeke Crofton-MacDonald join the Aunties in the studio to discuss all things SOVEREIGNTY! From the Land Claims Settlement Act of 1980 to present day, you will hear the importance of recognizing the sovereignty of Wabanaki people and correcting the harms that have occurred to heal generations to come. The Aunties and Ambassadors talk about the difficult journey Wabanaki nations and people face while trying to advocate for the same freedoms that all other indigenous nations have within United States. Maine is an outlier, a state like no other, taking the freedom of indigenous people. This conversation is filled with curiosities and calls to action, calling all “Aunties” listeners to demand change!"}
