#13 - Interview with Ronin Ruerup

Here's another excerpt from the live-stream event we did at the AISES National Conference on October 6th. This is an interview with Ronin Ruerup and will be the last download we'll be releasing from the AISES conference for this year. Ronin's from Alaska and he was the last guest we had for that day. He's Tlingit and had a lot of amazing things to say. His interests range from Sea Otter Populations to the consultation process and oil/mineral exploration.

Here are some of the main ideas we talked about:

Word Uses, Meanings, and Redefinitions... Indian - Indigenous - Savage

"Traditional Enemies"

Turtle Island/Indigenous War, and Old World War

Russian Colonization of Alaska and Sea Otter Populations

Alaskan Native Voices in Natural Resource Management

The Value of Balance

The Past is Important to Our Future, but it doesn't determine it

A Bunch of Random Live Stream Stuff

Ronin's 3 Tips for Being Indigenous in the Modern World
