## Resource

The pod thought it would re-launch some previous episodes we made with the support of TELUS STORYHIVE , and this was one of them. It was a windy winter afternoon back in 2024, and we recorded inside a tipi at Seven Chiefs Sportsplex on Tsuut'ina Nation, amongst the Lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy and Îethka Nakoda First Nation, and more recently the Otipemisiwak Métis.  The Ancestral Science Podcast was excited to learn from BRUCE STARLIGHT from the Tsuut'ina Nation about the disconnect of science from Spirit and Land, the significance of the depth of tobacco roots, the connection between mushrooms and the stars, sacred numbers, dinosaurs and energy, and Star people. Take a moment to like, share, follow, and rate, it is much appreciated. Check out our webpage for unique Indigenous Science Merch links and lots of additional educational resources ! Thanks to Emil Starlight for the seamless editing, videography, and audio, Alex for pod support and marketing. As well, Walter White Bear, Sharon Foster, and Emil for that opening tune! Grab a cozy blanket, maybe throw it on a camping chair to get that "tipi storytime" vibe, grab a tea, a double double, or an apple fritter, and learn from the insightful teachings from Bruce Starlight. You can also watch this episode as a video episode on Youtube along with other Ancestral Science Podcast videos. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
