Over the past few months, I have journeyed to the Yukon in partnership with illuminating worldviews.

Illuminating worldviews serves as a space to examine the worldviews amidst which we find ourselves

and see how they actively

shape the material realities of our lives. This project, rooted and colored by the land of the Yukon,

makes space for questioning, examination, and a future visioning, centered in indigenous ideology

and the sentiment of journeying.

In person and on the land, I've had the chance to speak with incredible thought leaders with deep connections to the Yukon,

all with a live audience in the beautiful city of Whitehorse, except for the last event which was in Dawson City. Though this series is

deeply local, it has broad implications for our culture as a whole, and I'm so excited to share it with

you. This series was produced thanks to the generous support of the team at Illuminating World Views,

held by the River Collective and the Northern Council

for Global Cooperation. We are so grateful to the organizers, speakers, and audience members

who made this series possible. And also a very big thank you to the land of the Yukon,

the Boreal Forest, the rivers, the lakes. I am honored to have been asked to be part of this.

In this episode, I'm joined with Dr. Lee Brown and Elder Mark Wedge to discuss emotional competency

and how we can regulate ourselves amidst all that this world brings. Dr. Lee Brown is the former director of the Institute of Appariginal Health in the College of Health Disciplines

and the Indigenous doctoral program in the Department of Educational Studies at the University of British Columbia, where he wrote his doctoral thesis entitled,

Making the Classroom a Healthy Place,

the development of effective competency in App Original Pedagogy.

Mark Wedge has long been actively involved in economic and social development,

land claims negotiations, ceremonial leadership, and dispute resolution in his community

and throughout Canada and the United States.
