On this months’s podcast we have LT Kayla F. DeVault (Shawnee and Anishinaabe), Engineer and Project Manager at Indian health facilities. Kayla’s wide ranging experience and education has centered on Anthropology, STEM, and Indigeneity. She is the host of the You-tube channel, Sovereign Stories, which breaks down Indigenous themed topics into easy to understand and fun short videos. We talk about advocacy more generally as well as a wide range of other topics including cultural heritage and development, consent, othering, bias, tokenization and allyship.
