In this powerful and heart-opening episode, we sit down with Chief Dr. Robert Joseph (Gwik̓ʷa̱las), a Hereditary Chief of the Gwawaenuk First Nation and one of the leading voices in Canada’s reconciliation movement. A survivor of the Indian Residential School system, Chief Joseph shares his personal healing journey, his deep belief in the power of love and forgiveness, and his vision for a future rooted in dignity, respect, and unity.
Through storytelling, humility, and profound wisdom, Chief Joseph reminds us that reconciliation isn’t just a political process—it’s sacred work. He invites us all to step into the responsibility of becoming the “next ancestors,” those who walk with integrity so future generations can thrive.
Whether you’re just beginning your reconciliation journey or deeply involved in advocacy, this episode will inspire you to act with heart, courage, and compassion.
