In this episode we speak with Nlaka’pamux Ancestral Marker and author of the new book Truly TribalDion Kaszas. He shares about his own journey as a practitioner revitalizing his tribe’s practice and about his new book featuring the stories of other practitioners. We recorded this episode back in March of 2026. We had a bit of technical difficulties - but are super excited to be able to release it early you here. Dion is someone whom we've greatly admired for his work overall in the North American Indigenous Ancestral Marking revivalization. He's mentored many folks and spent time learning from Indigenous pracitioners world wide. If you're interested in Indigenous tattoo revitalization from the perspective of the practitioner's, his podcast Transformative Marks (starting with ep 1 and going forward) is highly recommended. Hearing about how other folks have sought to revitalize their own practices, we're able to learn so much and find answer to questions we've had for our own revitalization movement. We hope you enjoy listening to this new episode of Inchunwa.
