Hi, I'm Matika. I belong to the Swinamish and Tlailit people. I'm a photographer and the creator of Project 5.6.2.

And I'm Adrian. I'm a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, a scholar and the writer behind the blog Native Appropriations.

This is all my relations. Welcome.

All my relations is a podcast to explore relationships, our relationships to land, identity, ancestors, and to one another.

In this space, we talk with amazing inspiring natives to explore indigeneity in all its complexity.

Oh, it's complexity.

Oh!

Thank you so much for joining us and tuning in. We're so glad that you're here.

And let's just start out by saying in case nobody's told you today, you're awesome. You're amazing.

And you are so loved and even more loved for clicking play on this podcast.

Relatives, we have a really good pilot episode of the All My Relations podcast for you.

We dive right in to discuss the concept, All My Relations, and how we approach the determining factors that led to choosing this topic.

By way of introduction, we discuss why representation matters to Adrian and I, and we learn how urban outfitters led to AK's aha moment.

We'll discuss why we are committed to representation work, even if it means consenting to learn in public.

Next, we discuss the origins of Project 5.62 and how it affects the lives of the people that I care about.

We gently transition into our discussion about indigenous feminism and you can listen as Adrian gets super academic about colonization.

She summarizes it well though by describing it as y'all left, but she left a big mess or y'all never left.

We'll quickly discuss a few basic understandings of our current state as tribal nations and leave you with some overview of what's to come for the rest of season one.

So thanks again for joining us. Please like, share, subscribe if you're into it. We like that.

Sorry.

All My Relations.

Let's talk about all my relations. Why are we calling our podcast this? What's the story behind the name?
