Katisha Paul: One Heart, One Mind | Indigenous Sovereignty, Climate Leadership & the Future

Behaviour Speak with Ben Reiman

About



This is Part Two of my conversation with Katisha Paul.


After exploring her personal journey in Part One, we dive into the work that has made Katisha one of the most recognized Indigenous advocates of her generation.


We discuss:



    Leadership lessons from her ancestors
    The history and impact of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs
    Indigenous governance and self-determination
    Women's leadership and matriarchal responsibility
    Indigenous representation at the United Nations
    The Global Indigenous Youth Caucus
    Climate leadership and environmental stewardship
    Rematriation and the return of cultural belongings
    Indigenous rights implementation
    Systems change and governance
    NEPENEḴ and the Sovereign-Tea project
    Legacy, future generations, and Indigenous resurgence

Throughout the conversation, Katisha shares a vision rooted in Indigenous laws, relationships, responsibility, and what she calls moving from intergenerational trauma toward intergenerational excellence.
