Chillingly Beautiful Powerfully Real
I just listened to the first podcast which captivated me immediately with "to know love is to know peace". What a pleasure it is to have the words of Tanya Talaga spoken and so eloquently supported by the teachings, humour and kindness of Elder Sam. As someone who attended residential school at St. Joseph's in Thunder Bay and attended middle school a short distance from Cecilia Jeffrey this podcast brought memories crashing against the shores of my life. I sincerely think that everyone who listens will feel a connection of some sort. Whether Indigenous or not... Chi miigwetch Tanya for continuing to tell the stories and shine the light.

Excellent Series! All Canadians please listen!
I loved this series! Each episode was written and presented so beautifully. If every Canadian, and indeed every Canadian politician listened to the series and sat with this knowledge, we may be able to take our country's first steps at healing our relationship with first people.
Thanks for this Tanya

Powerful Storytelling - like a punch in the gut
This is NOT what I expected based on the description of ‘Seven Truths’ based on the Grandfather’s Teachings- I was expecting something for children about FNMI culture.
Talaga’s work is WAY BETTER. Definitely PG. Not for young children.
Absolutely engrossing discussion of contemporary FN issues, culture & impact of colonialism & systemic racism affecting all aspects of life - education, healthcare, economic, & legal issues framed around current events & told through the lens of a Grandfather teaching (ie Bravery is the focus for education).
Intelligent, articulate & well thought out interviews & information. Brilliant story telling; a must listen for all Canadians.

Heartwrenching
This was a beautifully scripted and narrated series told in the voice of people who have experienced injustice firsthand. I find it mind boggling that people....humans....are treated this way in Canada to this day. I grew up in Halifax and saw racism toward BIPOC people every day and did not know how to use my voice. I didn't understand the BIPOC experience. I didn't see the systematic ways our infrastructure perpetuated unfairness and despair. I can see it now and want to do better, and be better. This series interested me as an opportunity to continue the journey of learning about racial and cultural injustice, and what it can do to a people. While I was deeply saddened as I listened, I am so grateful that Tanya Talaga captured the stories so eloquently. Understanding life experiences of our fellow humans is a first step toward equality and can lay the foundation for the steps that are needed to follow. I would highly recommend a listen no matter your background. Listen with heart and without judgement and then ask yourself, like I am doing now, what is my next step.

Excellent Canadian Reflection
This podcast 7 episode series was a great listen. A mix of discussion and interview surrounding current issues facing the Anishinaabe people of Canada and how they dead with them through the Seven Truths, this is the reflection my Thanksgiving week needed. Tanya Talaga, Anishinaabe storyteller, interviews different Elders, students, journalists, and activists in Canada to explain how these various stories can be understood through the lens seven teachings: love, bravery, humility, wisdom, honesty, respect, and truth.
I learned so much from this series, and I recommend this to everyone interested in Native American history, culture, and especially modern struggles.

I'm happy that I found this podcast, it was produced and journaled very well. This listen opened my eyes to the racism Native Americans face still today with true stories and interviews. Thank you for sharing.

wow! what a let down for the series!
The horrific crime perpetrated against a First American wonan devolved into whining ... revenge ... hate & the FA victim acting exactly like an overprivledged White bastard ...
