Celebrating Salish - Sterling Peterson
from kwu sneqsilxw
In this episode, we have a good chat with LSIB's own Sterling Peterson. Sterling's grandmother, Samtica, is a legend in the nsyilxcen community for her extensive work in creating curriculum and passing on stories, songs, lessons and so much more. Sterling is walking in her footsteps as a steward for the land and devoted language and culture learner. We talk about origin stories, with Sterling sharing the Blackfoot origin story involving the serpent people and then discussing the appearance of "serpent people" in so many other cultures around the world. A wide range of other topics are covered including the importance of biodiversity, answering the call of home, listening to our gifts inside and following your purpose. We are proud of all the work Sterling as done and the bright, young syilx man he has become. We appreciate him stopping by to share his knowledge and look forward to following his continued development as a community leader.
