Moving right along to episode 3 of season 3! Listen in and join us in welcoming our good friend Brandi!
ƛ̓alittli'lakʷ /Brandi has worked as a Cultural Support Worker with Surrounded By Cedar for awhile, supporting youth currently in the child welfare system and those aging out through LOTS of Land-based, cultural and arts-based activities. She has a super skill tracking down relatives - some dating back to the 1600s - to build out family trees for kids in care so they can see how much family they truly have.
Brandi wants to see the government returning jurisdiction (with funding) to Indigenous communities so that children can stay in their own communities. We also need to recognize that the child welfare system doesn’t only harm children but it also deeply affects and traumatizes the parents and their whole families too. We need to look at child welfare from a holistic, whole community approach that includes everyone!
