Today was an absolutely beautiful day for Indigenous People’s Day on Mt. McKay (Anemki Wajiw)! I had a lot of fun and spoke to some fantastic people while I was there. I’ve posted some photos and the interviews I did below. Migwiich to the organizers Rob and Ashley for having us!

Speaking with Elder John Gagnon about the importance of Indigenous People’s Day and how inclusive the event is.
