Part two of our series on Food Sovereignty and its impact on Indigenous communities, we speak with Ikaika Bishop, a Kanaka Maoli leader whose work in education, film, tech, and farming is rooted in Hawaiʻi. Through Keanuenue Farm, Ikaika is restoring traditional foodways and strengthening community resilience.

Welcome to the first episode in our two-part series on Food Sovereignty and its impact on Indigenous communities. As artists and culture bearers, we recognize the deep connection between food, land, and cultural survival. In this episode, we discuss the urgent need for access, sustainability, and policy that shapes how we nourish ourselves and future generations. We’re joined by AJ Granelli, Farm Manager at Makoce Farm in Pine Ridge, South Dakota—an ally working in partnership with Lakota families to strengthen the local food sovereignty movement.

In this episode of the Collective Spirit Podcast, we sit down with Terran Last Gun (Piikani Nation), a 2020 Artist in Business Fellow and multidisciplinary artist. Terran shares the roots of his creative journey, the influence of family and community, and how he's transforming the traditions of ledger art into bold, contemporary expressions. Tune in for a vibrant conversation on innovation, cultural continuity, and the ever-evolving power of Indigenous art.
