In this episode, we hear the story of co-host Henry McKay. Henry knows first-hand the structures of poverty and trauma, colonization and criminalization that trap many Indigenous people in the cycles of addiction and lateral violence. But under the mentorship of leaders like Luke Arquette and Mitch Bourbonierre, Henry became a cycle-breaker. Henry came on as one of the helpers in the Return of the Buffalo retreats at Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre, where his leadership gifts were quickly recognized. With 21 years of experience in ceremony, a research award and his Bachelor of Social Work-Indigenous Knowledge near completion, this "young elder" brings a lot of wisdom, compassion and humility to his role as co-host of the RotB podcast, as well as a fabulous Berens River baritone voice.
