Co-hosts Heather and Hōkū are taking a break this summer, so journey back with us to listen to the first ever guest on the Indigenous Planetary Health Podcast, Dr. Nicole Redvers. As a global leader in planetary health science, education, and advocacy, Nicole talks about centering the earth in Indigenous planetary health.  



Planetary health has emerged as a new ‘science’ in academic circles. It is touted as a framework that reimagines a path forward through the current climate crisis. But contrary to what you might have read or heard, the concepts behind planetary health are not new at all, at least not from the perspective of Indigenous worldviews. In this episode, Heather sits down with Dr. Nicole Redvers, a member of the Deninu K’ue First Nation to talk about Indigenous planetary health and how she came to be doing this work. They are joined by, guest host, Melissa Quenelle, who shares some of her thoughts on Indigenous planetary health from a Kainai perspective.
