Welcome to the very first episode of The TeaPee Podcast, a space where we gather over a warm cup of tea to talk about land, water, the environment, and Indigenous science. In this introductory episode, I share the story behind the podcast, why I created it, what you can expect in future episodes, and the importance of storytelling in how we relate to the world around us.

Since every episode centres around tea, I begin with a teaching on cedar, one of our four sacred medicines. I share its traditional uses, its role, and the connections it holds to water and wellness. Whether you are listening from the bush, the city, or somewhere in between, I invite you to sit with me, sip some tea, and start this journey together. Miigwetch for being here.
