Katisha Paul: One Heart, One Mind | Indigenous Sovereignty, Climate Leadership & the Future
Behaviour Speak with Ben Reiman
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.
