Connecting to Our Land and Our Relatives Description:
Lailani, a journalist, filmmaker, educator and entrepreneur of Iron Shield Creative, a creative cultural consultancy encompassing Indigenous storytelling will connect you to the ancestral homeland of the Siksikaistapi (Blackfoot) or otherwise known as the Montana landscape through her people’s connection through stories, traditional ecological knowledge, traditional values, undocumented indigenous history, and her own personal journey.


Indigenous stories offer a unique way to understand the power of the natural world and our human connections to it, and our animal relatives. Listeners will learn about a? personal, soulful? relationship of our natural world through Lailani’s sharing. Lailani will guide you to understanding a keystone relative, the Iinnii (buffalo). She will her share? her how she uses her creative gifts in the Rematriation of the return of buffalo to native lands. Folks will walk away with a fresh look at our world and our human and carnivore? relationship. The discussion will offer listeners to ponder their own personal responsibility and stewardship to the earth through the lens of an Indigenous mom, grandmother, daughter, sister, auntie and friend, and ponder ways they choose to act on behalf of our future generations and wildlife relatives.
