episode description
As one of only 20 remaining fluent Squamish language speakers, which is barely 2% of her community, Myia invites viewers to explore the intersectionality of land, language and cultural preservation. From utilizing mountain biking to more deeply connect with her land, to harvesting traditional plants and herbs for medicines and teas, and passing her knowledge on to her community through language instruction and her non-profit work, Myia’s episode hopes to weave complex conversations through nuanced layers. Yet at its core, our aim is to uplift viewers in a positive, fun-loving light. Myia’s bright smile and passion for her culture are infectious, and our goal is to highlight Indigenous joy as a vital element for the path forward.
