Kinship and Indigeneity Across Cultures and Time | Dr. Lyla June Johnston & Angharad Wynne
Музыка
Join two visionary leaders for a rare conversation that brings Diné and Welsh Indigenous traditions together to explore what facing polycrisis looks like through the lens of kinship, facilitated by Justine Huxley. This event was a collaboration between St Ethelburga's and Kincentric Leadership.
About the Speakers:
Dr. Lyla June Johnston (aka Lyla June) is an Indigenous musician, scholar, and community organizer of Diné (Navajo), Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) and European lineages. Her messages focus on Indigenous rights, supporting youth, traditional land stewardship practices and healing inter-generational and inter-cultural trauma. She blends her study of Human Ecology at Stanford, graduate work in Indigenous Pedagogy, and the traditional worldview she grew up with to inform her music, perspectives and solutions. Her doctoral research focused on the ways in which pre-colonial Indigenous Nations shaped large regions of Turtle Island (aka the Americas) to produce abundant food systems for humans and non-humans.
Angharad Wynne has spent much of her life exploring the landscapes and lore of this land. Since childhood, she has followed her feet along pathways back through the portals of ancient myth, folklore, history, song and poetry of Britain, and particularly of her native Wales. Today, she draws together the fragments of our tradition, that can help guide and sustain a living spiritual practice, connected to this land and her creatures. She shares her learning and explores understanding and contemporary practice through retreats, storytelling gatherings, ceremony, dreaming circles, writings and pilgrimages. These are conceived as radical acts of re-membering our soulful, deep humanity and re-weaving ourselves back into fully engaged participation within the web of life. Angharad is a published poet and writer, a storyteller, speaker, teacher and expedition leader. She is the founder of Dreaming the Land and Animate Earth Collective and leads Dadeni, a three year programme exploring the native spiritual traditions and practices of the British Isles.
This talk is a part of our Faith and Moral Courage series, where we are exploring how we can reconnect people with their faith or deepest values, so they can meet the many crises we face with courage. This project is funded by Fetzer.

Over and Over again. The deepest wise teachers and teaching come from Indigenous speakers. Tears streaming to hear from Indigenous women from both sides of where, overall, my ancestors lived. Herein is deep healing. Aho Mitakwasin Miigwich.
In tears of gratitude for hearing the wise words of healing. How to make amends and reconcile what some of my ancestors did to the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. Also hearing that Indigenous Welsh song stirred echoes of genetic Ancestral Memory. I deeply desire to connect with. In The coming months I plan to do so. Aho Mitakwasin, Miigwich
Did not know my mum as a child always felt different & 'knew' things. I did not understand so ignored these feelings. Found mum in my 30s. She explained I come from a line off witches of welsh decent. I already follow indigenous teachings, spirit teacher me. Come across Lyla June years ago, loved hearing her words. Angharad has made me want to look into my welsh heritage. Was moved by the energy, songs & talks. I have healed a Tree in Avebury I love Trees & feel/talk to them. Am 65 now still much to learn about me. Love & Light To All Life

Of the three is the one
Courage, to me right now, is Lyla June's choice and destiny to share of her wisdom and herself under the auspices of western structures, including her university education, including this sitting in a room which, though classy and cozy, reflects more of said structures. Due to the acceleration of terrible events in the world, I am accelerating my own fierce judgement and emotional distress around the power societies of the world. This presentation is helpful in providing these strong, beautiful, intelligent, brave women to model the equanimity aspired to. Thank You.
Wopida Tanka Wado and Thankyou Eternal Blessings From My Soul.
I am also from the place we now call New Mexico. My ancestors are European and include slave "owners." In 2000, I began a sixteen year process of traveling to Peru to work with the plant medicines. Because the colonization by the Spanish and the Church remain so very apparent there, I was awakened to the ways in which the culture into which I was born and grew up had suffered the same kind of colonization by Europeans. I learned I had become a part of a continuing colonization. My work with the plant medicines and a handful of Peruvian native teachers brought me to a relationship with the earth, then a much deeper relationship with the earth, such that I can follow Lyla June's story and perspective. I honor Lyla June and her message with all my heart--the same heart to which the earth has called me. My journey has not changed the fact that I am a white privileged male, but it has brought me to a fuller awareness of it, to a compassion for all our relations, and a very intentional relationship with earth as a whole and the place I call home in particular. And equal thanks to Angarhad. My DNA certainly spent some earlier time in Wales, and I very much appreciate her stories.

Would love to hear how you got involved in plant medicine in Peru and how you can translate that knowledge into our society today.

Why did you go to Peru if your blood is from New Mexico? It’s not like the knowledge has been lost in New Mexico. Would also encourage you to find the deep knowledge in Wales as well. It’s there.

I work with plant medicine too from the indigenous perspective of my Mexican indigenous ancestors and help others reconnect to their own ancestral medicine and ancestors. I also have Celtic, Scottish and Welsh ancestors from my mother side. My dad is Apache and Mexican Indigenous (Aztec)
Thankyou both for your insight and experience.❤
Honoring my indigenous Mexican ancestors in this song 🎵✊
"Our job is to fall in love with the Earth. Time and time and time again." So beautiful. Thank you ❤
Thank you ❤
Thankfully Earth Mothers powers of regeneration and healing is absolutely miraculous. She responds very well to love naturally...Prayers Rising.
Great respect from your voice and vision she her spirit Mother earth is talking about where we come from life and who we are enjoying true words ❤with great protection respect blessing 😅❤
I was so moved by both speakers, by Lila June in particular. I am first-generation Chinese American here on Coast Salish territory, and have been healing by remembering my Han and Hakka tribal roots. I resonate so much with how and what she is saying about being in right relationship with Father Sky and Mother Earth...I am humbled by the fortitude of the indigenous people of Turtle Island, and their willingness to make amends even in the face of such atrocities. I have been privileged to meet and work with some of the Hmong and Mien indigenous peoples of China which also colonized its neighbors...we are in a global phase of healing, and must be tethered to our roots or we face obsolescence via technology and AI. I for one would much rather be tending to the Earth than flying in a spaceship to Mars.
I feel like i haven’t so much lost touch with my Irish roots because my dad took us around whne I was little told me old myths and always had music playing always always he had a connection to places and taught me how to as well. I used to get lost outside when I was little playing. I remember flying a lot in my dream states and also when I was awake things happened over my life that where like magic total magic and I love that 😂 I love Native American culture because I feel I get it. I do understand their language.

❤💛💚🤎🖤🤍 I am enjoying this conversation this morning. Ancestors......Elah'kwa hom a:thashina:we. Thank you my ancestors. This word had been appearing in my conversations at home with my children and at work. Ms. Lyla came to perform at our library in Zuni Pueblo last June. I am a fangirl/ lady. Keep traveling the world and sharing your knowledge. I continue to learn from you and gain more nuggets of my connections to myself, my family, my community, the land and the world. Doh gettsanishi de;yah;du.
Whenever we are feeling desperate and broken remember "tears are sacred" and "we are the prayers of our Ancestors incarnate upon this realm" may your paths be guided and protected always in allways Soul Tribes Rising.
Tears of joy watching this. This is so...words can't really say🌞💛🌞
"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy." -St. Francis of Assisi
Good Job Dearest Leyla ❤
Indigenous cultures are partnership culture, our culture are dominance culture.

19:09 completely arbitrary? I won't argue for the better/worse value judgement.

Also, where does this notion of 'complete arbitrariness' come from?
