Episode 3: Respecting Mothers as Loving Experts

*We use the term “Indigenous” as adapted from the NDN Collective: “peoples as ethnic communities whose direct ancestral lineage descends from the earliest, original inhabitants of a given region, in contrast to groups that have settled, occupied, and/or colonized the region more recently. The land on which we live and the natural resources on which we depend are inextricably linked to our identities, cultures, livelihoods, as well as our physical and spiritual well-being. The total estimated population of Indigenous peoples is approximately 370 million people worldwide (5% of the global population). We use Indigenous peoples with an “s” to recognize the diversity of individuals and groups that identify with the term, which has been distilled to a singular noun throughout history in an attempt to group our people together rather than recognize our differences and diversity. This is consistent with the UN Declaration on The Rights of Indigenous peoples. (Source: North East Farmers Network)

Respecting Mothers as Loving Experts is part of our Women’s History Month series. In this special three-part episode, we are honored to share the wisdom, discernment, and intuition of eight mothers who are experts at living. In their own words, we hear from mothers who are Black, Indigenous and Laotian as they explore their hopes for their children (and grandchildren) and how structures of racism, classism, and sexism both challenge and disrupt their work as Loving Experts in their children’s lives. In three parts, we share these inspiring conversations so that they may nourish us all.
