  • Resumen

  • To change the future we must acknowledge the past here in the present. Turtle Island Voices is a podcast pilot project developed to bring cultural awareness in support of the indigenous world view by engaging conversation with elders, healers, knowledge keepers, and other individuals willing to share their story. This podcast is produced within the traditional territory of the Dane-Zaa, commonly known as Treaty 8. Created by Kelly Smith and sponsored by the Tansi Friendship Centre in Chetwynd, B.C.
