Listen "Heartbeat of Mother Earth"
Episode Synopsis
“There is no beginning and there is no end, and this drum is a big part of who we are as people…I use my drum when I sing to people and I refer to this drum as the Heartbeat of Mother Earth”. (If you’re curious about how this episode got its name and/or the full context of our conversation with Ronnie Preston, Cultural & Education Programs Director at the American Indian Center in Chicago, make sure to tune in to this episode’s Brown Breakdown!)At the core of “Heartbeat of Mother Earth”, KSB is taking a look at the colonialist policies that have affected Indigenous communities, and how Indigenous people have fought against oppression to be present in the making of futures where they reclaim their rights and space, and rewrite the narratives of who Indigenous people are.
