Super excited to share today's conversation with you for a couple of reasons.
I sit down with Violet Duncan, who is an author, a storyteller, educator, performer, native american hoop and pow wow dancer.
She is a member of the Plains Cree of Kehwin Cree Nation and Taino.
I have no idea if I said that right.
I hope I did.
Part of the broader or larger First nations community in Canada, where she grew up, and she facilitates workshops to promote spiritual wellness, cultural education all over the United States and Canada and Europe.
She's also a mother for, and she really saw the need for native american and indigenous representation in literature and author two children's books.
And she's now a featured storyteller at festivals nationally and pretty much all over the world.
And I had the opportunity to sit down with Violet when I was actually out in Mesa, Arizona.
So this is recorded on the road, and we are at the co working slash community space of a dear friend of mine, Pam Slim.
The space is called Keh, and it's in Mesa, Arizona.
So the sound is probably a bit different than what we normally have, and that's just why.
And hopefully you will drink in the beautiful communal vibes from the space and really enjoy.
And as I did really learn from the conversation that I had with Violet Duncan, so excited to share this with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
I'm hanging out with a very special guest today, Father Duncan.
Hey, danse gasun gallas qui seguisqueo.
Good to meet you.
By the Duncan.
I'm Cree and Taino.
