37. Rizwaan Abbas - “A Canadian Muslim of Indo-Fijian Descent”
from No Ties 1879 · host Prakash Media
This week we sit down with one of the most intelligent people we know. Rizwaan Abbas: Archaeologist, friend, and all around cool guy! Yes, you read that right, we said archaeologist. If it wasn’t for his exhibit we never would have met our new brood. On this episode we talk about how the hell his dad went from Fiji to freaking Sparwood, B.C. of all places! He tells us about growing up in a small town of 5,000 and the shock of coming to live in the city of Surrey. Currently an Archaeologist for Semiamhoo First Nation, we get into why he chose this path and what prompted him to create his exhibit, “The Indo-Fijians: Surrey’s Pocket of Paradise” at the Museum of Surrey in British Columbia, Canada.
