Ep.50: Post-Apocalyptic Indigeneities

This episode begins with a reflection on this podcast project
reaching its 50th episode. I share some additional background and
future plans, including some of the symbolism behind the WAI
logo. This episode introduces some ideas from the article,
Indigeneity as a Post-Apocalyptic Genealogical Metaphor, which
explores the metaphysics of indigeneity - Indigenous metaphysics
through a global Indigenous consciousness. In conclusion, a
diverse range of Indigenous experiences are presented in the
constellation of Indigeneities identified as Elder/Local,
Continental/Regional, Diasporic, Creole, Born-Again,
Global/Trans-Indigenous, which are described in the artice, A
Wīnak Perspective on Cosmovisíon Maya and Eco-Justice Education.
