ON THIS EPISODE: The ninth instalment of BFF: Beyond Fires & Floods—our extended series on Indigenous climate narratives—presents the beginning of "Taking on Water," the fourth session of our gathering's second day, encapsulated as follows: Oceans cover some two-thirds of the planet; watersheds traverse and transcend human borders. Water is literally everywhere, yet that hasn't stopped colonial governments from trying to control and contain its movements, along with the lives of those it sustains. From rivers and lakes, to oceans and ice, this session looks at how Indigenous narratives work to convey the upstream sources and downstream consequences of melting glaciers, rising sea levels, floods, and droughts, both for aquatic life and the Indigenous lifeways dependent on them. Meanwhile, with bodies like wide-ranging watersheds complicating any formulation of climate-related problems and solutions, what does that imply for the structure and scope of our storytelling? Joining MI host/producer Rick Harp are panelists Tristan Ahtone (sitting in for Grist-mate Anita Hofschneider), Tara Atleo, Zoe Todd, and Shannon Waters. 🕮 Learn more about BFF, including our core sponsors, at mediaindigena.com/BFF // CREDITS: Intro/extro theme 'nesting' by birocratic; 'Cloud Seven' by Joseph Sacco (CC-BY); 'Seen from the Unseen' by Ondrosik (CC-BY).
