miyo-wîcêhtowin ATEP Podcast is a podcast created to foster opportunities for truth-telling, remembrance, healing, upliftment, and the advancement of belonging. Situated within a colonial institutional context, the podcast responds to the need for a dedicated space where ATEP students, faculty, staff, and Indigenous community members can come together to reflect on and process challenging realities. Grounded in Elder wisdoms and held within a supportive community environment, each episode centres storytelling as a powerful means of sharing knowledge. The podcast seeks to decolonize knowledge sharing by honouring wisdoms that flow from the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions, creating space for connection, reflection, and collective healing across generations.
In this episode of the miyo-wîcêhtowin ATEP Podcast, we sit down with Etienna Moostoos-Lafferty from Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, Treaty 8 Territory. Etienna shares her experiences as a mother, educator, graduate, and PhD candidate, reflecting on the role of community, education, story, and teachings in shaping who we are. Through her experiences, we explore the relationships, teachings, and connections that guide us, ground us, and help us find our way.
