This episode shines a light on the often-overlooked contributions Indigenous peoples have made to communities, governance, science, and everyday life. From the foundations of democracy to the building of Edmonton itself, Marlene shares stories that challenge long-held narratives about Indigenous knowledge and innovation. The discussion calls for a broader understanding of what accomplishment looks like and why celebrating Indigenous contributions is essential to reconciliation and mutual respect.
