Episode 1: Justin Many Fingers


Listen Later

In this episode, I interviewed Justin Many Fingers, who at the time was the artistic director of Making Treaty 7 Cultural Society, an Indigenous theatre organization. Justin is a Queer, Indigenous, disabled, and MAD artist trained in acting, singing, and dancing in both Western and Indigenous constructs. We sat down to discuss learning to claim our identities, dealing with tokenization, and what an Indigenous arts culture means.
