In the fifth segment of this six-part interview, Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie share their perspectives when asked by the interviewer, Kakoli Mitra, on their understanding of how Indigenous peoples of the Americas who follow Christianity now are able to reconcile their faith with the racist, colonialist ideology underlying the religion and the centuries of violence perpetrated on them by the religion’s teachers and priests in the Americas. Julian explains that the European colonizers’ narrative of European and Christian superiority isn’t based in fact, especially early in American settler history, as the first settlers in North America were helped by — and eventually absorbed into — Native American peoples. He also speaks about how forced conversion into Christianity is a reality that many Indigenous peoples have accepted and incorporated into their ancient cultures. Emily talks about the conflict she witnessed in several of the First Nations Elders they engaged with during the filming of Sugarcane; when these Elders, as children, were ripped away from their families and subjected to violence in the residential school, the image of a benevolent father figure (Jesus) provided comfort to them.
