AUNTIE: Wa’tkwanonhweráton Sewakwákon. On this edition of The Aunties Dandelion we have just a wonderful visit with LeAndra Nephin who is an enrolled member of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. LeAndra is a Trauma-Focused, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and a resident of the U.K. She is also a podcaster and social impact producer with the Red House series Production Group. LeAndra talks about how her work emerged through the beauty, tragedy and abundance of her early life -- and how healing is part of what she says is her family business. LEANDRA: That’s what we were taught. You take care of your own and in our clan – as a Thunderclan woman our role and responsibility was really to look after the spirited aspects of the tribe so the soul – when you think about the soul wounds. AUNTIE: LeAndra is an international advocate focusing on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and People and sits on the Panel of Experts with the International Commission on Missing Persons at the Hague. Today we are swapping our podcasts – which means we’re both hosts, we are both guests and versions of the show will appear on The Aunties Dandelion and LeAndra’s show Not Invisible. We are Yethi Nisthen’a ne Tekaronyakánare. The Aunties Dandelion. We are a collective of storytellers focused on revitalizing our communities through narratives of land, language and relationship. So get some tea, settle in – and take this moment to listen to your Aunties.
