The new children's book Sila and the Land was co-authoured by Ariana Roundpoint, Shelby Angalik, and Lindsay Dupré — each from a different Indigenous community. Ariana joined Ian and Jade for this Earthy Chat. Here's a preview of what they discussed:
*finding common ground among Indigenous Nations
*moving away from a "take-everything" mindset
*reconnecting with the land and water
*re-learning how to listen to the land and water in a noisy world that's always "on"
*distilling big ideas into a coherent narrative
*giving character to other-than-human beings and inanimate objects
*the book's value for children, parents/guardians, and educators
