On today’s episode, student host Jackson follows up with students who participated in the canoe launch at Purdue University on Indigenous People's Day. Jackson and his special guest, Mr. Wayne Valliere, discuss some of the finest moments of the Purdue trip, share, in detail, part of the canoe-building process, talk about the history and significance of birch bark canoes in Anishinaabe culture, celebrate how, “...by launching that canoe we were sending a message to the world that the Anishnaabe people are still alive and we’re still thriving and we’re still on the planet.” Finally, Mr. Valliere explains how the launch supports the Anishinaabe mission to spread an important message to the entire human tribe. That message is: “We are all in this together…What we do today matters. The things we do today for the environment, matters. It’s so important that we speak up for our grandmother, the Earth.” https://www.buzzsprout.com/2058634/11576765
