I sat down with Karrie Lynn Sparvier, to hear a two-spirit perspective on misrepresentation. Karrie Lynn was named Gary Cassette at birth, she tells us about her experience as a Wood Mountain Lakota Sioux First Nation child placed in foster care as an infant, then living in residential school in Saskatchewan. An important lesson on many fronts.

The Gravity Well issued a Public Statement on October 11, 2024.
We re-recorded Episode 28, replaced Episode 7, and deleted Episodes 14 and 21 due to inadequate vetting of the original guest.

Our vetting process has been updated to ensure we have appropriate community representation and support on a topic before we proceed.
It was recommended that we dedicate an episode to discussing our mistake and better understanding the risks of misrepresentation. This conversation occurred on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024. Please email [email protected] for further information.
We are extremely grateful to the Blackfoot Confederacy for allowing us to work through this issue together.

A must-watch!

After exploring the "why" of The Gravity Well conversation in Round 1, and questioning "Who-is-who-in-the-Zoo" in Round 2, you explore our collective goals in Round 3. You are part of an Imperial | Colonial system that focuses on extracting resources at the expense of communities and the environment. This system prevents us from the human experience of love and compassion for one another. The remedy is to promote local action and economy. Embrace the solidarity community, and care for one another, while holding leaders accountable for the continued exploitation of the environment and her people. Common ground is here for the taking, join a local community organization focused on standing up for the innocent or the environment. Be a part of a future you may be proud of!
This round includes conversations with Alex and I (15), Regan Boychuk (16), Harley Bastien (17), Shannon Stunden Bower, J. Bruce Smedley (18), Janet Pennington, Kristy Jackshon, Lori Curtiss (19), Beau Shaw, Walaa Katoue, and Wesam Khalid (20).
