De-colonizing Community, Re-building the Village 

Calling 4 Justice - Debut

Part 1: “What is Indigenous Resurgence?”

Segments from a talk by Professor Gerald Taiaiake (da-YA-ya-gay) Alfred of the Mohawk Nation. Despite what many learn in government-approved history curriculums, colonization is not some dusty old thing that happened in the past. Professor Alfred’s work helps us understand colonialism in the current paradigm and set priorities to restore communities that nourish healthy, happy human beings in good relation with one another, the earth, and all life. Go to Taiaiake.net for more. 

Part 2: Chico’s gleaning network & E.A.T. Chico

Community organizing efforts to get wholesome food into hungry bellies while re-building the relationships and partnerships that make a healthy village. Guest Abigail Breuner: Chico community member & co-founder of the Chico Gleaning Team discusses gleaning as a simple-yet-radical act of de-colonization.
