Remember We Are Wild

Welcome to Episode 48, the final episode of Season 6.

I began by thinking about what it would be like to be an animal, a human animal, being force fed in a container of sorts. Trying to imagine the limitations of this lived experience compared to one where I am free to exercise my full-bodied animal life.

In this episode Marina:

• Imagines what it would be like if we were confined and raised to be eaten!
• Explores what is taken from us when we are caged.
• Reminds us that everything has agency and is participating.
• Reviews the themes of the current season.
• Examines the relational dynamics between humans and the more-than-human world.
• Considers how we may become oppression-informed, Trauma-informed and Climate informed individuals
• Revisits power as our ability to influence and act.
• Asks, “What is oppression?” Defining it as the systematic targeting or marginalization of one social group by a more powerful social group for its own benefit.
• Emphasises that anything “other” than human does not imply they are a resource, a commodity or have object status.
• Refers to "The Salmon Boy" story in Being Salmon, Being Human, with reference to Jamie Valadez and Klallam stories told by Adeline Smith (Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, 2012).
• Reframes society from a transactional model to one rooted in gift-giving and reciprocal relationships.
