Episode 3: Reconciliation In Identity

On this episode, we speak with indige­nous peo­ple who have strong ties to their iden­ti­ty. We pose the ques­tion — has rec­on­cil­i­a­tion hap­pened in with­in our iden­ti­ties? Has it hap­pened with­in the lives of these com­mu­ni­ty members?

We close off our episode with a new track from Treaty Six’s Nehiyawak, Son­am­bu­list”. Be sure to check out more of their music at https://​nehiyawak​.band​camp​.com.

Our open­ing and clos­ing theme music comes to us cour­tesy of Boogey The Beat — check out more of his bril­liant work at sound​cloud​.com/​b​o​o​g​e​y​t​h​ebeat. The inter­sti­tial music is cour­tesy of Bloom — you can hear more of their songs at bloom14​.band​camp​.com.

Mino­gondaa­gan, was pro­duced on Treaty One ter­ri­to­ry, the orig­i­nal lands of the Anishi­naabeg, Nehiyawak, Oji-Cree, Dako­ta, and Dene peo­ples, and the home­land of the Métis nation. 

We would like to thank the Com­mu­ni­ty Radio Fund Of Cana­da, the Uni­ver­si­ty Of Manitoba’s Office Of Indige­nous Engage­ment, the Nation­al Cen­tre For Truth & Rec­on­cil­li­a­tion, the Uni­ver­si­ty Of Man­i­to­ba Student’s Union and UMFM 101.5 for their sup­port in the pro­duc­tion of this series.
