About Aunties on Air...and some Uncles too

A podcast to amplify indigenous voices while building powerful connections through conversations, culture and community. For far too long, indigenous people have been targeted, silenced, and made nearly invisible by the societies that surround us. The values that maintained balance of our shared land and communities are old, valuable, and deeply needed in our world today. During our time together we will explore many topics through storytelling, laughter and sometimes tears. Come along on this journey where together we will feel the power of relationships and experience healing that comes with centering Wabanaki culture. Each month, and often more, we will share an episode with our guests to offer good medicine to all who join. Woliwon (Thank you)!

   Aunties on Air Episode 56: Healing Through Laughter with Janelle Niles

   Laughter has always held a sacred place in our communities. It connects us, heals us, and speaks truths that words alone cannot reach. Today, on Aunties on Air, we sit down with trailblazing comedian Janelle Niles, creator of the all-indigenous variety show Got Land? Comedy. We explore the intersections of identity, the power of taking up space on stage, and how reclaiming our narrative through humor can be a beautiful tool for healing.
