Let's Have a Powwow

Hawe Relatives,
This week on the pod, I sit down with Sutton King. An Afro-Indigenous leader, health equity advocate, MMIW activist, and Executive Director of the Urban Indigenous Collective.
Called to New York City with a purpose, Sutton has answered that call through higher education, deep community engagement, and, most importantly, by listening. In Lenapehoking, she has built relationships rooted in respect and has consistently asked Indigenous people what they need, not what others think they need.
Through her leadership, Sutton is creating spaces of care, kinship, and belonging for the urban Indigenous community while advancing health justice and Indigenous sovereignty. She is building more than programs and initiatives—she is building a legacy.
Her name is Sutton King, but make no mistake, she is a Queen!

Patricia Tarrant is the Executive Director of the American Indian Community House In NYC. She is following in the footsteps of her mother and other Tarrant family members who have been hugely responsible for building the Indigenous community we currently benefit from in New York. Listen in as I ask Trish the very important questions like, what was it like partying with Ex New York City Mayor Eric Adams! What has changed since Mamdani has taken office? Patricia lives and breaths the community house and it because of that, that we are flourishing here in the Big City! All the Natives in NY eventually find themselves at AICH looking for kinship. WE find each other and grow together. Thank you to AICH for being the heart of our community

Welcome back relatives! This week on the Podcast I speak with Alex DeRoin, a fellow Osage Okie. Alex is a Two-Spirit artist, poet, storyteller, and awarded water protector. Their passion lies in creating safe spaces in marginalized communites. Where being queer and 2 spirit can be an even more isolating existence. Part of their resistance work is Pioneering the LANDADAISM art movement. A movement that utilizes a unique cross-pollination of indigiqueer ecology and the art of Dadaists' collage principles as metaphor. They co-founded Kinshipmodel.org, a nonprofit focused on civic education and voter engagement in the Osage Nation.

This week on the pod, I’m joined by Davy Tiger Cortes, co-founder of Decolonize Sports. An Indigenous-led sports media platform amplifying Native athletes, with a deep focus on lacrosse, also known as The Creator’s Game by the Haudenosaunee.
Alongside his cousin Brandon and brother Dominic, Davy has helped build a space where interviews, photography, production, and play-by-play are for us and by us -with Native athletes and coaches offering commentary straight from the sidelines, before and after the game.
When he’s not shooting lacrosse, Davy works in film and TV production here in NYC, experience that’s clearly shaped the way Decolonize Sports is telling our stories with intention and skill.
Decolonize Sports is a much-needed voice in the sports world-because every press pass is representation, both in front of the camera and behind it.

This week I’m joined by Indigenous drag legends Lady Shug and Oliver Herface, fresh from the First Nations Performing Arts Winter Party here, in Lenapehoking!
From Lady Shug’s groundbreaking appearance on HBO’s We’re Here - the first time I ever saw Indigenous drag on a major network, to Oliver Herface’s work as a Two-Spirit Boricua drag king, producer, and cultural force in Brooklyn, this episode is all about visibility, joy, and decolonizing the stage.
We talk drag, ceremony, community, salsa, sideshow, and what it means to hold space for our people while living fully in our truth.
Thank you to First Nations Performing Arts and Performance Space New York for hosting an unforgettable all-Indigenous drag night.
