    More episodes plz
    Love that I came across this podcast 👏🏽 the interviews were so informative & inspiring. Please consider to continue podcast
  • Meshel Jones
    A beautiful podcast !
    I absolutely love this podcast, it has very similar vibes to All My Relations ! However I love that this podcast focuses more on matriarchs and women in indigenous communities! The information is raw and can be heart wrenching but as a non-indigenous POC, I want to become more aware of indigenous history and how I can be better ally! Thank you for all you do and the info/stories that you share!
