Listen "E23 — N'alaga Avis O'Brien"
Episode Synopsis
Avis is an indigenous weaver, teacher, dancer, singer and a Land-Based Cultural Empowerment Facilitator who comes from a family of notable snowboarders. Her Kwakwaka'wakw name N’alaga translates to "woman of light", or "bringer of light”, and that is exactly what she does through her work, which includes introducing indigenous people to their traditional arts, land and culture through workshops that focus on topics including suicide prevention, addiction and helping heal some of the inter-generational trauma that comes from centuries of genocide and colonization. Learn more about Avis at her N'alaga Consulting page. Host: Feet Banks
