Advocating for Indigenous youth means you need to be tapped into a lot of different sources. For Kairyn Potts, that means not only being ultra internet-savvy, but also having a personal connection to the system that impacts Indigenous youth on a massive scale: the foster care system.
Kairyn is passionate about advocating for young people, and has gained an incredible following on social media for the careful and clever content that he creates around Indigenous issues. Kai is also the co-founder of Neechi Clan, an Indigenous gaming community of over 600 members that is connecting Indigenous young people while advocating for support from big names in the gaming world, like EA.
In this episode, Shayla Stonechild has a very transparent conversation with Kairyn to find out more about what it means to meet Indigenous youth where theyâre at, how addiction is impacting them, and what two spirit representations means for decolonization.

What does it mean to bring Indigeneity into colonial spaces, especially into the government?
Michelle Friesen, City Councilor for the City of Whitehorse, knows a thing or two about it. In October 2021 she was elected as the first Indigenous woman to serve on Whitehorse City Council â the first Indigenous person to sit in City Council in 30 years. Early this year, Michelle and her son, Theo, were in the media after she faced complaints by fellow city council members to stop bringing her son to meetings, an act that is rooted in her Indigeneity.
Michelle joins Shayla to look at the cultural and historical context of Matriarchy and motherhood in places of decision making and how she views her role, and the role of Matriarchs-in-the-making, in colonial governing institutions.

For a long time itâs been non-Indigenous people telling Indigenous stories, and that means that stereotypes and a lack of humanity and empathy has been perpetuated in the media for years.

Where do Indigenous youth find the space to be revolutionary?
Riley Yesno has explored the many facets of Indigenous resurgence throughout most of her life, and has been advocating for âreconciliationâ since she was 15 years old. Her time on the Prime Minister's Youth council was troubling â proudly hailing herself as a âshit disturberâ â but that time still inspired her interest in native politics. Today sheâs working on her PhD, studying Indigenous youth and reconciliation and hosts the podcast, REDsurgence.
We discuss the state of Indigenous youth revolutions from in-person community, to organizing and representation in the digital age, and Land Back and what it really means for Indigenous futurism.

Shayla Oulette Stonechild returns with the Matriarch Movement podcast on April 24th, 2023!
This podcast is an act of reclamation of who we are as Indigenous people. This is a place where
we champion multi-generational-healing and Indigenous futurisms. Which is radically imagining
a new future that is currently being built on inclusivity, representation and advocating for a better
tomorrow, not only for ourselves, but for the next seven generations.
While also honoring our ancestors and what has led us to this moment.
Because we are more than a statistic. We are the Matriarch Movement. When you press play,
consider yourself officially a part of this movement.

Since, Aly worked on a wide range of files, including corporate commercial, labour and employment, civil litigation and intellectual property.
