Podcast Description

INDIGENOUS LED Podcast uplifts Indigenous voices as part of a healing movement rooted in the sacred bonds between land, people, culture, and our more-than-human relatives. Guided by the wisdom of tribal knowledge and the leadership of Indigenous communities, this first season brings together conversations with co-founders, an ecologist, youth leaders, and a Kainai Elder—each sharing stories of belonging, restoration, and relational stewardship.These episodes center Indigenous-led conservation as both ancient and visionary—proof of Indigenous solutions to the planetary crisis we face. They carry the teachings of our Knowledge Keepers and amplify a shared commitment to rematriation, relational leadership, and restoring balance through the return of buffalo and the renewal of right relationships.Through this series, INDIGENOUS LED, podcast host, Lailani Upham invites listeners into a circle of kinship and care—where healing land and people are inseparable, and where the voices of our communities guide a future rooted in reciprocity, responsibility, and collective belonging.
