Season 3 Episode 4: Wahkohtowin Warriors

This episode explores finding our wahkotowin within an urban setting. Some people believe living in the city doesn’t allow them to be involved in their culture and have connections to their community. However, we challenge this idea by showing how wahkohtowin can be practiced within the city to help find connection to your people and your community.

With such diversity in culture among Indigenous communities, the relationships and protocols surrounding women and the drum are equally as varied. Through round-table discussion, this podcast will question the impact of colonial patriarchy on Indigenous women and the drum, the variation in protocol and impact of sacred law and customs on Indigenous women and the drum and the role of the drum and practice of drumming in the promotion of wahkohtowin.

Season 1 Episode 4: Indigenous Women and Drum

This episode explores the complex idea of what Aboriginal Identity is and what it means to each of the episode creators. Despite attempts by the government to define and separate Aboriginal people the teachings of wahkotowin continues to connect us. Aboriginal identity cannot be defined by physical appearance, where you are from, or whether or not you know your culture. Identity comes from being true to yourself and being respectful to your surroundings.
