Telling Indigenous Stories: from pre-colonization science to difficult truths

The Ancestral Science Podcast was grateful to speak with TCHADAS LEO, from Xwemalhkwu and Stillaguamish Nations, a journalist and tv and podcast host (check out his pod "Our Native Land"). We chatted about his passion for being an Indigenous journalist and how he balances time constraints with protocols, his dream story to cover, the courage needed to "tell the truth," and artifact/ancestor rematriation. We heard more about his SOON TO BE LAUNCHED graphic novel named "Xwémalhkwu Hero Stories: A Graphic Novel

", that shares stories of his Ancestral lands before and after colonization. We dug into the science within these stories, from food preservation and sensory hunting to clam digging in relation to moon cycles and sand stories.

For all you teachers and educators, we have extensive show notes and additional links available here.
