Hey everyone, welcome to this bonus episode of All My Relations.

I'm in Tegan and I felt like with some of the stuff that was going on in the world this week around Notre Dame

and all of the Indigenous response to the burning of the cathedral that we would take the opportunity to kind of jump in

and have a quick conversation with one another about what was going on.

If you like these short formats, we might be doing some more of it, but until then we'll have a new episode next week.

What do?

All My Relations.

Hello friends and relatives.

Today we begin our episode.

Sacred is sacred with love and condolences to our relatives in Paris.

In fact, that is why we are here today.

We wanted to discuss Notre Dame and the outcry of public support and then also the response from our Indigenous community

and other POC allies in the aftermath of the fire.

Yeah, I mean I've been shocked by some of the things that I've been reading on social media and also shocked that fire happened

and it brought up a whirlwind of thoughts and images really.

I think of the images of standing rock burning or the images of old man house burning and sacred things in general burning.

And it kind of has been a triggering moment for me. How about you, Adrian?

Well, I think that you and I have had slightly different responses to things.

I've been, I was sad, I guess, at the burning of Notre Dame.

I think that there's a lot of important artwork and there's something to be said for the cultural space that the cathedral holds.

But I was not, I didn't find a lot of the responses super problematic.

I mean, I think I saw, I understood where they were coming from.
