Summary

This episode features Ma-Nee Chacaby, a Two-Spirit Ojibwe-Cree Elder, activist, and author from Ombabika, near Lake Nipigon in northwestern Ontario. A survivor of both colonial and personal trauma, she has dedicated her life to sharing stories of resilience, cultural reclamation, and community healing. Her acclaimed memoir, A Two-Spirit Journey: The Autobiography of a Lesbian Ojibwa-Cree Elder, chronicles her experiences growing up in the bush, surviving residential school and addiction, and embracing her identity as a Two-Spirit woman. Through her advocacy, teachings, and storytelling, Chacaby continues to inspire dialogue on Indigenous rights, gender diversity, and intergenerational healing. http://amshealthcare.ca/
