MEDIA INDIGENA 158
Added 2019-04-23 04:22:37 +0000 UTCON THIS WEEK'S INDIGENOUS ROUNDTABLE:
The Indigenous 'grief gap' over Notre Dame. We react to the reaction that flooded social media over footage of the fire that ripped through France's Notre Dame cathedral. Amidst the tearful tributes of so many non-Indigenous grievers over the building's fate, what do we make of the apparent lack of sympathy displayed by some Indigenous meme-makers and their fans?
Some examples:
- "That is some real gourmet shit", by Arnell Tailfeathers
- "My thoughts and prayers", by Arnell Tailfeathers
- "Indigenous Peoples of the Americas", by Red Rising
Joining host/producer Rick Harp back at the roundtable this week are Candis Callison, Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies at Princeton University, and Kim TallBear, associate professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta. In the first part of this extended, two-part discussion, we explore and expand upon critiques of holy hypocrisy or a divine differential when it comes to the desecration or destruction of what Indigenous peoples consider sacred or significant.
