FUEL FOR THE FUTURE 

Supporting Indigenous art is more than a transaction. It is an act of reciprocity and respect for the knowledge, history and identity embedded in every creation. Indigenous artists are knowledge keepers, storytellers, and culture bearers, weaving generations of teachings into every bead, brushstroke, and carving.  

In this episode of Next Gen Matriarchs, host Mariah Omeasoo sits down with Cheyenne Robinson, a dedicated advocate and leader working to empower Indigenous communities across Montaan. Cheyenne's work as a Co-Op Specialist at the Montana Cooperative Development Center and founder of Indigenuity Consulting reflects her commitment to fostering resilience, sustainability, and self-reliance for Native communities.

Welcome to the Launch of Next Gen Matriarchs, a podcast highlighting the journeys, challenges, and achievements of remarkable Montana women in leadership. In each episode, host Mariah Omeasoo sits down with trailblazing women to uncover their personal stories and impactful work. We're thrilled to introduce Episode 1: Breaking the Silence with special guest Haley Omeasoo, a dedicated forensic anthropologist and advocate for Indigenous communities.

In this episode of Next Gen Matriarchs, host Mariah Omeasoo welcomes Mariah Gladstone, a visionary leader in Indigenous food sovereignty. As the founder of Indigikitchen, Mariah has dedicated her work to revitalizing Indigenous food systems, reconnecting communities with traditional knowledge, and fostering healthier, more sustainable futures for Native people.
