Decolonizing Fire with Chook-Chook Hillman (Season 1 Episode 4)

(Season1 Episode 4) On this episode, host’s Vikki and Anna interview Chook-Chook Hillman. Chook wears a lot of hats; he is a Cultural Practitioner, Ceremonial Leader, Direct Action Organizer, Father of 5 and traditional house builder to name a few. Currently he works at a local school “doing Indian thing’s” as he puts it. He has helped plan a lot of the Western Klamath Restoration Project’s (WKRP) latest project, Ikxariya Tuuyship. This will create and maintain the conditions to bring fire back to the world renewal ceremony at Katimin. This was stopped through violence and repression since the early 1900’s.
