Still Here Still Healing

Listen to 60's Scoop Survivor Elaine Kicknosway share her story as we discuss her experiences, the child welfare system, and kinship. Elaine's words are inspiring as she reminds us to live life fully and remember where we come from. 

In this episode, I discuss what Indigenous communities are currently facing in regards to searching former residential school sites to uncover remains and unmarked graves. I talk about my own reaction and my experience being at home when the search in my community started. I also chat with Averie Allard about her walk for Legacy of Hope. 

In this episode, I speak with SJ Okemow. She is a Cree medical illustrator and PhD student based in Toronto. Her work is focused on cellular animations that enable us to learn about our bodies, and thus our connection to the world around us. In this episode we chat about her career, her studies, a bit about medical racism, some of the projects she has worked on, as well as her connection to culture.
