In this episode, Tzintzun Aguilar-Izzo speaks with guests John Collins (Weave News), Blake Lavia (Talking Wings), and Emmett Smith (Northern Power & Light) about the intersection of settler colonialism, ecological responsibility, and the rights of nature in northern New York/Haudenosaunee territory and beyond. In addition to Smith’s unique perspective on dams and energy issues in the region, the conversation addresses broader ethical questions about how to move beyond our current system of extractive capitalism.
