DECOLONISING MASCULINITY: Indigenous Thinking | Ke’oni Hanalei & Téo Montoya

A snippet of the fifth week of advaya's online course, re-storying masculinity, featuring Téo Montoya and Ke’oni Hanalei, hosted by Ian MacKenzie.

✴︎ ABOUT THIS SESSION ✴︎

In the spirit of truly decolonising masculinity, we ask: if the solution is not to supplant an oppressive universalism with another, what might we learn from restorying masculinities back into place and culture? In this module, we dialogue with Indigenous guests who reframe some of the most intractable paradoxes in the “culture wars” by offering perspectives that include multiplicity.

✴︎ ABOUT OUR GUESTS ✴︎

TÉO MONTOYA: Téo Montoya is mixed heritage (Lipan Apache, Scottish, French, Spanish) Mythworker, Writer, and Indigenous Futurist residing on the lands of the Tewa Peoples in O’ga P’Ogeh, currently known as Santa Fe, New Mexico. His work focuses on synthesizing Indigenous futurisms, cosmological and spiritual systems, myths, archetypes, and modalities to find ways of supporting an emerging world in crisis through human development, ecological literacy, and reciprocity with our communities and more-than-human kin.

KE’ONI HANALEI: Ke’oni is just one of only a handful of practitioners who have access and are willing to share this ancient archaic knowledge. Pua’aehuehu, Fern Medicine, or emotional intelligence—one aspect of this ‘ike, the legacy of his lineage—the awareness of the movement of emotions, and the release from control fixation. Ke’oni is also versed in ancient primal, meditative, and movement practices, and the comprehension of familial and lineal wisdom through the reading of the nervous system and DNA.
