Ep 5: 'Baby Yoda' Mayan Connection

This episode picks up on the conversation about Indigenizing
'Baby Yoda' and the process of making connections in pop culture
when there are limited representations in media. I make the case
for a Mayan connection to the socio-political issues in 'The
Mandalorian' series, considering what Indigenous children from
Mesoamerica continue to face today. Indigenous icons and ideas
are also identified in the broader Star Wars universe, including
philosophical connections in Oceania with mauri/mo'ui (life
force) and mana (potency, honour, authority...).
