ʔasqanaki: to tell two versions of the same story (Ktunaxa)
The ʔasqanaki Podcast by Smokii Sumac honours connections between Indigenous storytellers through the Ktunaxa concept of ʔasqanaki: to tell two versions of the same story. The podcast features a rich line-up of Indigenous guests from multiple nations including “Uncle of Indigenous Literatures” Richard Van Camp (Tłı̨chǫ), Educator, Poet and Author, Tasha Spillet, (Cree/Trinadian), Poet and Photographer Tenille Campbell (Dene/Métis), Poet Janelle Kasperski (Nisga’a), Juno award winning musician G.R. Gritt (Anishinaabe/Métis), award-winning performing and recording artist, non-fiction writer, filmmaker Christa Couture (Cree/Scandinavian) and musician Meisha Louie (Secwépemc).
The first season of The ʔasqanaki Podcast explores themes of adoption, gender and sexual diversity, residential schools, reconciliation, and so much more! Tune in to hear Smokii and his guests share stories of how their work came to be, what inspires them to create, and which pieces of their work resonated so deeply with Smokii's experiences that he decided to create a whole show about it! Honouring Indigenous oral traditions through a modern podcast format, the podcast is a heartfelt journey of Smokii Sumac's self-discovery as an Indigenous adoptee, two-spirit, transgender person, and poet.
