Episode Description from the Publisher

Today, we're exploring Indigenous experiences, history, and the ongoing journey toward truth and reconciliation. Our guest is Maeengan Linklater, Anishinaabe, from Lac Seul First Nation in Ontario, with more than 25 years of experience across the non-profit, government, and private sectors, and he is a father, community volunteer, and poet. In this episode, we'll discuss the painful legacy of residential schools, their lasting impact on Indigenous communities, and the work being done to uncover truths, honour survivors, and move toward reconciliation. We'll also touch on lesser-known aspects of this history, including unconventional psychic experiments on Indigenous children at residential schools. Today's conversation invites us to listen, reflect, and think critically about the path forward. Join us as we get rebelliously curious.
