<p>This is a different kind of podcast. One that looks at why so many Indigenous peoples are living on the streets of Winnipeg.</p> <p>It takes you out of the studio and into the inner city, where you’ll hear people’s stories in their own words.</p> <p>They tell APTN News reporter Kathleen Martens about the common factors that led them here: lack of housing in their home communities, interactions with the child welfare system, and intimate partner violence.</p> <p>They share how trauma, untreated mental and physical health issues led them to poverty and addiction. And how the racism and violence in Winnipeg affects them.</p> <p>It’s a unique take on who is homeless from those living it every day.</p>
