For National Indigenous History Month, the IEJ project is featuring three Anishinabek kwe researchers in a special issue podcast series! The “Anishinabek Rationality” podcast series was recorded at the Roberts Graduate Conference: Canada on the Edge, Peoples, Places and Perspectives on May 2,3, 2019 at York University. This recorded panel explores the idea that Anishinabek knowledge is creating spaces to explore issues providing opportunities for collaboration on better environmental decision making. The knowledge of Anishinabek peoples provides a different insight into environmental issues and can change how we explore solutions for reconciliation. Special thanks to Dali Carmichael and Niibwin Mukwa for their contributions to this podcast. The introductory song is a Water song that was shared with a group of people after a sweat lodge on St. Joseph’s Island, Ontario.
