The actor Joe Dion Buffalo, from Samson Cree Nation in Maskwacis, Alberta, talks about his time at residential school, his path to professional skateboarding, the perseverance of racism in Canada, and the youth charity he cofounded.
Joe also speaks candidly about the roles that addiction—and sobriety—have played in his story so far.
As the podcast drops, a documentary short about his life keeps picking up accolades. Called, appropriately enough, Joe Buffalo , the film recently earned the endorsement of perhaps the world's best-known skater, Tony Hawk, who signed on as an executive producer. And the venerable magazineThe New Yorker has posted the short on its website.
Joe cowrote, appears in, and narrates the documentary, which has been screened at Cannes and Tribeca. At the Calgary Underground Film Festival, it earned the jury award and the audience award.
