A Modern Mi’kma’ki
​
This podcast explores what it means for L’nu’k to walk and work and live and laugh in the complex world of today.
​
Mi’kmaw writers shalan joudry, Trina Roache, and Rebecca Thomas untangle a colonial history, wrestle with cultural teachings, and ask the big questions. How do we honour our ancestors? How do we all live as Treaty People? What does netukulimk really mean when you buy your food at the grocery store? Humour, joy, grief and reclamation. Join this ongoing conversation, which also features questions from Stephanie Domet and active listening by Sue Goyette.​​​
Episode One of this four-part podcast starts with a conversation recorded in front of a live audience in October 2023. You can listen online at https://www.afterwordsliteraryfestival.com/modern-mikmaki or wherever you find your podcasts.
