Black Native Kinship with Amber Starks

Join Matika Wilbur and Dr.Dr. Desi for part two in this series, “Black Native Kinship”, a powerful conversation with Afro-Indigenous activist Amber Starks. Amber is a Black woman and enrolled member of the Miscogee (Creek) Nation. Her activism seeks to normalize, affirm and uplift multidimensional identities of Black and Native peoples.

Together we explore how relationally is rooted in kinship, how Indigenous people can aid in the dismantling of Anti-Blackness and how ultimately, Black liberation and Indigenous sovereignty are complimentary and not at odds.

How can we evolve kinship relationships beyond blood quantum and perceived identity to create a modern Indigenous future?
