Summary

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we have two fantastic guests, and a continuation of our sporadic Sources and Methods series of episodes! This time, we bring back Dr. Sardana Nikolaeva (whom you will remember from our recent episode Indigenous Diamonds of Russia's Sakha Republic), and bring on Dr. Masha Kardashevskaya for the first time. They discuss the work they are doing on indigenous methodologies, which is based off of their studies of indigenous populations in Russia's Sakha Republic, in Indonesia, and in Canada. A really fascinating conversation, and much to learn, we hope you find it useful!

Sardana Nikolaeva is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, where she is an indigenous anthropologist studying indigeneity, indigenous methodologies, extractivism, and more. She cowrote the wonderful paper we discussed in our previous episode with her, which you should read here: https://www.ziibiinglab.org/indigenous-diamonds

Masha Kardashevskaya is a scholar of peace and conflict studies who has been studying indigenous groups across multiple continents. While Masha doesn't use social media, she and Sardana are starting a podcast imminently, which we will share the information about on our various social media platforms when it is up, so stay tuned!
