#68 Sherri Mitchell: Reparations, Breaking Down Binaries, and Existing Beyond the Patriarchy

Sherri Mitchell is the Founding Director of the Land Peace Foundation, an organization dedicated to the global protection of Indigenous land and water rights and the preservation of the Indigenous way of life. She was born and raised on the Penobscot Indian reservation (Penawahpskek) and teaches around the world on issues of Indigenous rights, environmental justice, and spiritual change. She is also a co-host of the syndicated radio program Love (and revolution) Radio, an author, and a Post Carbon Institute board member.

She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

• The return to the land and reparations movements that are “really about reconnecting to the sources of our survival”
• That young mentors can facilitate our understanding of “newly emerging language that's helping us identify all of the places where we've been stuck”
• That binary thinking no longer serves us and “limits us from becoming all of who we have the potential to be”
