Indigenous storytelling as a political lens | Tai Simpson | TEDxBoise

[@alicesackey-jaffurs7076]

Connected to the undercooked but not the overcooked- there was a bit of anti-blackness in this omission. I understood that she was talking to "assumedly" a predominantly white crowd- and she was trying to bridge the colonizer and colonized- but the fact that she talks bout the overcooked but does not reference it in the connection is odd.

[@xxpaigejj]

She did at the end, but I do understand on some level what you mean. I thought about that too when she mentioned that the undercooked are Coyote's creation too. I, of course, believe in God's creation. But the same concept goes. We're all part of the same creation. It is sad that it has to be said for some people--white or not.

Dog it was an attack on everyone except the “perfectly cooked” people. She literally called herself the master race and we all just sat there and let it happen cause she thinks that she’s oppressed.

​@@BiggestCrackerInTheWorldyou're weird AF 😂

Oooh God, I have never heard someone put it so well, we are all from the same creator and its our duty to protect that which gives us life, nature. She has a beautiful soul. Thank you

Excellent leader. Nya'weh, Mvto

[@ashnatiwari]

Tai, what a beautiful display of sharing with us your ancestral teachings of being and knowing and doing. Beliefs that belong to our history and should rightfully be embedded into new (American as it is known as) culture. Wow, keep shining, you are here to share Indigenous spiritual teachings to the world..I believe that anyway.

[@basobotta]

[@kadinmills6407]

Chi-miigwech for this wonderful story! An important moral and call to action. Your storytelling is very beautiful and so greatly appreciated.

[@indahindah1070]

Thanks your sharing

[@duesouth180]

I wish I could have attended this presentation in person. How spiritually nurishing it would have been to stand and walk out right around 0:36.

[@winkybstinky]

Hey Ted talks! Why did you block the ghislaine lecture? Copyright infringement??? Seems a bit suspect. Also, the comments are turned off. What is the secrecy about?

[@TashaSmirnoff]

The creation story you tell is the same as Blackfoot.... Cree origins are a bit different that I was taught. I won't get into it to take away the teachings provided...Blackfoot teachings are so valuable to what humans are and can be to society .

[@alvinbenson4327]
