Recorded live as part of the 4th Annual Decolonizing Dialogues — a collaboration between Banyen Books and Arkaya Foundation, honoring Canada's National Indigenous Peoples Day and International Day of Yoga.
Sun Dance Chief and environmental activist Reuben George (Tsleil-Waututh Nation), and Yogacharini Maitreyi (Arkaya Foundation) join host Ross McKeachie to explore the deep parallels between Indigenous and yogic wisdom traditions and what it looks like to live those teachings today.
Together, they weave a conversation that moves from ancestral connection and ceremony to salmon restoration, green hydrogen energy, and the radical act of loving what is around us.
Chief Reuben George on reciprocity and protecting the waters:
"We have a reciprocal relationship to the water in Tsleil-Waututh, so we take care of it. We nurture it. We protect it against industry. We enhance it. We clean it."
Yogacharini Maitreyi on decolonizing the self:
"My intrinsic value was taken out to a point where my value was reduced to how much I produce and how much I possess. That is the industrial paradigm that infiltrates everyone — which I needed to unravel."
