S3E6: Who We’re Called to Be- Becoming Good Ancestors

Questions? Leave us a message. “We have to meet the moment by first figuring out not what it is we’re going to do, but who we are called to be. And in that one expression, the entire assignment.” -Norma Wong In this episode, recorded live at Tamaya in New Mexico, Norma explores what it means to be undaunted as we seek to be good ancestors. Being undaunted doesn’t mean we aren’t afraid. It means we can see ourselves, our ancestors, and the horizon. We use this grounded stance to steady ourselves for the consequential work ahead. What does it mean to be undaunted in the face of everything we face today? What does it take to cultivate something more than courage? What are we planting for future generations? Can we plant durable, discerning love? In the second half of the episode, Norma is joined by Lori Tazbah Tapahonso (Diné/Acoma Pueblo) to talk about elders, tricksters, and the importance of tending to the vacant places.
