EP. 4: My Grandmother said "Leave some for the Birds"

In Episode 4, Doris invites Métis Elder Marjorie Beaucage to be featured as a special guest to talk about her 'hot off the press' published book titled, leave some for the birds - Movements for Justice. In this podcast storytelling episode, we hear in her own words about the movements in her life that culminated in the writing of her poetic memoir that highlights seven decades of living and seeking justice as a Two Spirit Métis woman who still retains her Michif language. Additionally, as part of celebrating Indigenous History Month and PRIDE Month, Marjorie is a beautiful fit for this special episode . Marjorie is an acclaimed filmmaker, art-ivist and educator, land protector and a water protector. Born in Vassar, Manitoba, to a large Métis family, Marjorie’s life’s work has been about creating social change, working to give people the tools for creating possibilities and right relations. She is a beloved Feast Centre Elder and a soul-filling storyteller!For more information about Indigenous Sexual Futures, and to see the BIOs of our featured guests, please visit the Feast Centre for Indigenous STBBI Research podcast website @ https://feastcentre.mcmaster.ca/podcastsACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe would like to acknowledge the following for their contributions towards Episode 4 of Indigenous Sexual Futures Special Guest Auntie Marjorie Beaucage Host Storyteller/Producer Doris PeltierIn Grandmother's Hands - PoemRead by Marjorie Beaucage Technical ProducerPaula Burrows - Jupiter Productions ISF Theme Music and Creative SoundCozmic Cat, Classic Roots, Elder Gayle Pruden Indigenous Knowledge Advisory Feast Centre Council of Elders and Gathering Lodge Committee  Executive Producers Feast Centre Co-Leads - Randall Jackson & Renée Masching Feast Centre Staff Will Gooding (National Director), Catherine Booker (Research Coordinator) and Doris Peltier (Community Engagement Coordinator) and Feast Centre Research Assistants Bridget Marsdin and Esther KimPodcast Branding Design Compassion Creative  We acknowledge our funders Canadian Institutes of Health Research   Indigenous Sexual Futures is produced on the ancestral lands of the Mississauga and Haudenosaunee nations within the lands protected by the Dish with One Spoon wampum.
