In the last 20 years she’s dedicated much of her time to e xploring the landscape in the White Mountains (unfortunately coined “T he Whites” by New Englanders) on Abenaki land. In that time Mardi summ ited all forty-eight 4\,000 footers multiple times\, often as the only B lack person on the mountain. She has experienced great joy from communin g with this landscape\, but the overwhelmingly white hiking community th at is so seeped in white supremacy and colonialism complicates her exper iences. Recently\, she has focused on creating more opportunities for Bl ack folks to join her in appreciating this magnificent wilderness. Enjoy ing this land with her community has been a liberating balm that has str engthened her sense of identity as an outdoorswoman.“Mardi &\; the whites” is a peek into Mardi’s relationship with the White Mountains \, the great outdoors\, and the community that surrounds them\; Above al l\, it’s a celebration of Black liberation in the wild.\n\nKEYSTONE: V OICES FOR THE LITTLE FISH - 11.2 minutes - by Jerry Monkman - from New H ampshire - Short synopsis: The people of Gardiner\, Maine work to provid e fish passage around three historic dams on Cobbossee Stream for the fi rst time in 270 years.
