9. A Conversation on neurodecolonization, with Dr. Michael Yellow Bird

In this episode, we're excited to sit down with Dr. Michael Yellow Bird to discuss his work on neurodecolonization. Dr. Yellow Bird shares some of the ways colonialism has impacted the consciousness of our Nations and the neurophysiology of colonialism, and provides important context on how our dominant systems of imperialism and extraction harm all of our relations.

He shares insights into his research on neurodecolonization—the antidote to the colonization of our consciousness—and provides practical suggestions for reversing the physiological, mental, emotional, and spiritual impacts of colonization.
