Floyd Favel, is a culture worker from the Poundmaker Cree Nation, whose expertise in the arts is as profound as the heritage he carries. Floyd takes us on a journey from the rich oral traditions of his childhood to his expansive work as an artist, and how these experiences shaped his mission to weave indigenous perspectives into the very fabric of the arts.
This episode is a profound exploration of respect, remembrance, and the enduring power of cultural legacies in shaping our world, and the indigenous voices being squelched by settler traditions in the arts. Tawaw.
