Welcome to today's podcast, where I had the privilege of sitting down with Elder Philip. In this episode, Elder Philip shares his wisdom on the importance of encouraging all students to participate in ceremonies to gain a deeper understanding of Indigenous traditions and teachings. We also dive into the purpose of tobacco as a protocol, its significance, the red road, and Elder Philip offers valuable advice to both people and teachers on how to live life.

Please bear with us through some hard cuts during the conversation, as we recorded this episode while construction was happening in a nearby room, causing a few audio interruptions. I hope you enjoy this insightful discussion.
