In our first mini-episode of the summer season, we turn to three guests from our past seasons to explore Indigenous ways of knowing, and to look more closely at the sacred nature of water -- how various people understand it, conserve it and co-exist with it.
Janet Pitsiulaaq Brewster shares how climate change is affecting Indigenous reconciliation efforts in Canada and what melting permafrost means for the Inuit of Iqaluit.
Deon Hassler gives hope to a new generation of Indigenous water operators in the face of long-term boil water advisories.
And Josée Street shares her story of learning the lessons of western science, while the teachings of her family and culture bubble under the surface.
You can find their full episodes from our previous seasons here:
S3E2 (On Thin Ice: Iqaluit's Water Crisis) featuring Janet Pitsiulaaq Brewster: https://www.whataboutwater.org/s03e02/
S2E11 (Broken Promises, New Solutions: The Future of First Nations Water Quality) featuring Deon Hassler: https://www.whataboutwater.org/s02e11/
S3E9 (Tasha Beeds: Walking with Water) featuring Josée Street: https://www.whataboutwater.org/s03e09/
We'd also like to hear your thoughts, in our What About Water Listener Survey. As a thank you, we will plant a tree through One Tree Planted for each survey our podcast listeners complete.
