Description:

In this episode, podcast host Linsey McMurrin explores the connections between Western and indigenous systems of thought for building healthy people and communities. In her non-profit career she works to educate communities in Social Emotional Learning (SEL), a Western framework for developing healthy social and emotional skills. But as a proud Anishinaabe woman, she also recognizes that the traditional wisdom of her ancestors was designed to do the same thing, well before SEL existed. Exploring connections between SEL and the Seven Grandfather Teachings, Linsey reflects on how reclaiming a relationship to traditional wisdom can be a part of restoring dignity and authenticity for herself and her community. Linsey is helped along in her reflections by her two sons: 12-year-old Isaias and 7-year-old Tobias.
