- What happens to human beings when their culture and history are systematically erased? In this powerful account, psychology PhD candidate Jill Fish tells her story growing up as a Tuscarora woman in a world that fails to accurately acknowledge indigenous peoples’ cultures and histories. Integrating psychological theory and research with her personal and collective stories as a Tuscarora woman, Fish demonstrates the critical need to pay attention to the role culture and history plays in the present day lives of indigenous peoples through her model of human development - forcing individuals to see the legacy of settler colonialism and challenging them to do something about it.
Jill Fish’s work focuses on transforming social institutions to make them inclusive and equitable for Native American peoples. Fish has been recognized for these efforts by several organizations, including the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, the Quell Foundation, and the American Psychological Association. Fish is from the Tuscarora Nation (Skarú:rę' Kayeda:kreh) of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy which is described as the earth’s oldest, participatory democracy. For the Haudenosaunee, law, society and nature are equal partners and each plays an important role. Fish earned her master's degree in mental health counseling from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2014. Following this, she moved to Minneapolis to pursue her PhD in counseling psychology at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities where she has been awarded The DOVE Fellowship and the Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Thank you Jill Fish for so clearly, patiently, and thoroughly presenting your work. Everyone should see and hear you - you offer a hand toward understanding to those who should become allies and to those indigenous people who have been erased and silenced. Your revisioning this model is ground breaking and game changing.
Said perfectly
Beautiful impressive amazing soul. Inspiring. Many more amazing souls pray multiply and tell stories of atrocities done on mankind. Mighty are right. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
I'm mad that this Ted talk was needed in the first place and furious that she went through so much ignorance and unkindness. This is their right! They are us. We are them. Live United.

Was the 1st colored person k thru 8th. Even growing up before moving to Tennessee. I was with my white mom n white step dad n all my cousins on the reservation made fun of me. They didn't even know I was family nor did I know they were mine. But I was picked on by both sides
Why does these things have so leds views, it makes me think that's the reason for our ignorance.
You have 2 parents celebrate and represent both.
Just another picker chooser.!
You are the same colour as me or you are American so basic
Why do you all keep talking
As a Canadian I’m quite tired about hearing about Indigenous history.
I felt like we ran too far in the other extreme. We went from “no one knew about the residential schools” to remove statutes of our first Prime Minister because he hung Indigenous peoples. Next year we’re getting a holiday to honour Indigenous peoples. I get it, Canada’s done some stuff in the past. But I’m a 1st generation Asian-Canadian, why do I have to reflect on what Canada did? It’s not like I did anything.
There’s growing resentment in Canada of the Indigenous population and I think it’s because we ran too far the other way. This resentment of Indigenous people did not exist until a few years ago. There needs to be a balance. We should not forget what Canada did but let’s not guilt all Canadians for things 95% of the non-Indigenous population had nothing to do with.
As an Indigenous person I am quite tired of hearing settlers complain about being held accountable for their perpetration through actions or complacency of colonialism.
I feel like they just don't want to learn the truth. We go from ending the erasure of Indigenous histories to ending the honoring of people who committed genocide and settlers think that is too extreme. Canada has done a lot more than "some stuff" and it's not just in the past. Your current prime minister perpetuates violence against Indigenous people and forced sterilization of Indigenous women has happened as recently as 2017. You have to reflect on this as a 1st generation Asian-Canadian because you are a settler and your disregard of Indigenous history and complacency in colonialism perpetrates further violence against Indigenous people.
The resentment of Indigenous people has always existed and continues to exist because of settler society. We need to talk about what Canada did and continues to do and talk about the genocide "95% of the non-Indigenous population" are being complacent with.
Learn more about indigenous history, we are taught patients you can learn from elders as I did.
It was always there; because Indigenous Peoples are being heard, now you can see it. You see the resentment, because you are being forced to know what it looks like. Trying to unsee will give you more grief not less.
If you believe resentment is unjustified, then speak up. The courageous never have an easy path, that's what they need courage.
@@charlesgolding I know alot about what happened. What is the end goal?
