Teaser for episode 11-Stay tuned for a discussion about Musqueam past and present, and the answers to some of the questions about Indigenous peoples and perspectives that you have been wanting to ask.

Later this week, I speak with a Vancouver Musqueam leader who is passionate about teaching and sharing knowledge about his culture, story, and values. Musqueam are traditional hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking people with a growing community of over 1,300 members. The last residential school closed the year that Wade Grant graduated from high school and at the time, he knew nothing about this. Now his knowledge is endless and he has held various roles in governing, and with government. Wade serves as the Intergovernmental Affairs Officer to the Musqueam First Nation, while also serving as a Board Chair for the First Nations Health Council, and New Relationship Trust. In our discussion, we dive into topics around reconciliation, land acknowledgments, education, family, and even insight from a child that stuck with him on a recent orange shirt day. Join me for an insightful and dynamic conversation with Wade Grant as he shares his culture and perspectives with me. Music by Amir Firouzfard from Pixabay.
