Rematriated Voices is a groundbreaking talk show led by Indigenous women. It’s about empowering truth, reclaiming democracy, and living in balance with Mother Earth. Grounded in Haudenosaunee teachings, our show invites viewers and listeners to consider their answer to one of the most common Haudenosaunee greetings, “Are you at peace?”
The five episode show, available in tv, radio and podcast form, uplifs the voices of pre-eminent Haudenosaunee thought leaders, traditional leadership, authors, activists and allies.
The conversations were recorded on Mohawk Land, at Minnowbrook Conference Center overlooking Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondack Mountains. The project represents a partnership between Rematriation, the Haudenosaunee-led digital storytelling platform connecting Haudenosaunee and Indigenous women across Turtle Island and around the world, and the Special Collections Research Center. And, of course, the amazing crew from Orange Television Network as well as each and every person listed below.

Episodes
Mother Law
Indigenous women are working alongside allies to educate the public about the Doctrine of Discovery, the political and legal justification for colonization of indigenous lands across the planet.
First Environment
A focus on our relationship with the living world and the first environment we experience as human beings.
Hidden Roots of Democracy
Haudenosaunee governance supports a matrilineal and matrifocal culture that is rooted in democracy and peacemaking.
Skywoman and Eve
Walking among the Haudenosaunee, the early suffragists saw a world where Indigenous women were in their full authority and held absolute autonomy over their bodies, their minds, their children, their homes and the land.
Matrilineal Men
Matrilineal men are men who stand empowered alongside empowered women. They are able to express their masculinity without diminishing a woman’s voice or her autonomy.
