MELANIE GOODCHILD and asked "what is science to you?" which lead to a conversation about how we talk to the universe, the three types of stories, being a Settler Whisperer, yarning with Duck Shit Tea, reconciliation through "the magical space," and the efficacy of science through art and language.Remember, any support from the Ancestral Podcast MERCH helps pay Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and our editors, to follow protocols and keep this podcast going.SHOWNOTES:www.melaniegoodchild.com-"Relational Systems Thinking: that's how change is going to come, from our Earth Mother"- "Reparations and Reconciliation: Embracing Indigenous Social Innovation and Changing the Rules of Philanthropy" - "Duck Shit Tea: Yarning and the Magical Space between things-Three Types of Stories: Creation, Personal, Life-Story (and how to discover your gifts).
