Ma'ii Girl: Recent Episodes
Ma'ii Girl
Ma'ii Girl is a podcast run by 2 siblings, Mar and Ellie. You can enjoy listening to them talk about indigenous issues, things that happened in their lives (like when a piccadilly lady yelled at them), and everything between.
Today Ellie and Mar discuss what is "love" from their Google Forms "Ma'ii Girl Love Questionnaire". They read peoples responses and give their own take on what people have said. This episode engages their audience by getting their opinions and also includes them in this podcast episode. Rather than getting interviews they feel this is a good way to get more people to participate in their podcast without having to call individuals. They hope to do more podcasts like this in the future.

In this episode Mar & Ellie discuss different things that have happened in their lives in the past, especially from one of their old schools in Hopi. They then discuss their feelings on the Native community on Instagram and how they want more people to stay safe because Covid-19 is still very real. They also want more people to start being guests on their podcasts, because Ellie loves conducting interviews! Stay tuned the for next episode. New episodes occur every Wednesday.
In the beginning of this episode Mar & Ellie discuss a little about what's going on in their lives. Eventually, they get into the bigger topic of this episode and that is to talk about "Kevin". "Kevin" is a native creator and he raises some red flags that Mar & Ellie want to discuss. They are not claiming that "Kevin" is doing anything to harm his followers. However, they are critiquing his content and bringing awareness to the patterns that they see in this actions/content that they've seen happen to their friends/family who have had similar interactions with others like "Kevin". If this topic is sensitive to you please don't listen to this episode after 12:17. And to those of you who know who Ellie & Mar are talking about please don't send "Kevin" any hate, because he doesn't deserve any hate and thats not the purpose of this video. This episode is not meant to spread any hate, they support all Native creators who haven't done anything wrong until proven otherwise. Should Ellie & Mar discuss Native creators that have done things wrong but aren't discussed in media? Ellie was wondering because they had been talking with one of their mutuals about Native American model Haatepah Clearbear who recently got exposed as being a women abuser and switches his tribe in interviews.
