CALS692 IndigeMind Podcast #1

In the first part of a mini-series podcast on the evolution of the IndigeMind Climate Action Program, Tony speaks with good friend and Co-Founder Chris Jim of the Tsawout Nation on Southern Vancouver Island. They speak about how the idea of IndigeMind came to be, why we need land-based programming for Indigenous youth, and the importance of Indigenous youth led climate action efforts as a path forward. Chris Jim is a leader in his community and a man who inherently embodies the most essential components of genuine, grounded, and culturally centered climate action leadership.
