Miigwech to those who have tuned in to listen or watched the full episodes. With your support we can continue this important program spotlighting the work and success of these wonderful Indigenous leaders.

We’re honored to welcome Stacey Ettawageshik as our guest to Eminazhichiget. Stacey shares about her work with Uniting Three Fires Against Violence; how her own experience as a survivor informs her work; how her son and elders inspire her; and how essential it is to speak truthfully of both our history and the present day.

We at Title Track seek to honor the beauty, strength, intelligence, and heart of our Indigenous friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors every day. Here are a few invitations to consider as you honor Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Today we join people across Turtle Island in honoring the Indigenous survivors of residential boarding schools and remembering those who never returned home.
