Summary

It is Indigenous People’s Day weekend and Amiri Baraka’s birthday. Dr. Carr and Karen discuss self determination.

It’s in the Social Structure’s narrative silences that we are able to form our own structures and grow. How do we nurture self-determination and self-sufficiency when the “Master Narrative” enforces silences about those subjects except when we are used as footnotes in its memory and vision? We are showing that we can and do convene in the seams of the Social Structure and in those seams—those silences—we find each other and build.
