This week, I sit down with Maria Rose Sikyea, a Dene artisan and advocate for Indigenous midwifery. Maria Rose speaks with honesty and courage about her journey through addiction, the challenges of rebuilding confidence, and the deep meaning of her traditional face tattoo. She shares how the strength of her mother and grandmother guided her path, and how culture and family continue to shape her healing.
