Everlutionary: Healing and Transforming the World
E37 - Walking On A Feather: Exploring Colonization and Psychedelics through a Biracial Lens
October 21, 2025
What does it mean to “walk on a feather” in a world weighed down by history, systems, and inherited wounds? How do psychedelics—once outlawed and feared—become teachers of tenderness, reciprocity, and healing? And what wisdom emerges when a lawyer rooted in both Anishinaabe and European ancestry braids modern law with Indigenous wisdom? Ariel Clark has spent nearly two decades navigating the intersecting worlds of cannabis, psychedelics, and Indigenous rights, all while carrying the complexity of her biracial identity. In this episode of Everlutionary, Hawah Kasat sits down with attorney and advocate, Ariel Clark to explore how colonization has shaped our systems, why her identity and legal work are inseparable from questions of justice, and how the “red road,” a path of devotion, humility, and balance, offers another way forward.
