This episode features Dr. Kathy Absolon, an Anishinaabe kwe and Associate Professor at Wilfrid Laurier University. She is a scholar and leader in Indigenous methodologies, cultural reclamation, and land-based healing. Growing up in the bush, Kathy developed a deep connection to the land and the Creator—experiences that shaped her identity and informed her life's work. Throughout her journey, she has navigated the challenges posed by the education system and the legacy of residential schools within her family, drawing strength from her spiritual relationship with the earth and her commitment to community.
