Listen "An interview with Freda Huson"
Episode Synopsis
Freda Huson, Chief Howilhkat of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation in Canada, is
an Indigenous rights activist for the Wet'suwet'en people. Even as private
companies and the Canadian government collude to force the construction of
an oil pipeline through their sovereign territory and under their
waterways, Freda was kind enough to engage in a brief conversation about
the struggle she is currently leading with her people to protect their
ancestral homelands and their way of life, and how it connects to the
inequity we face in our own neck of the woods.
