Nehiyaw Science of Love & Death from Grandmother Scientists

The Ancestral Science Podcast was honoured to be gifted some time with TERRI CARDINAL from Saddle Lake Cree Nation. We chatted about Nêhiyaw teachings of death and dying, the science of soothing when grieving, connection between hair and senses / love and grief, death as a transition not an end, disconnecting fear from death, and the how jokes and laughter at the seemingly most inappropriate times is incredibly healing.

Terri donated her honoraria to Good Hoops, a grassroots basketball program out of Edmonton Alberta, creating opportunities through basketball.

Check out Terri and Amber’s podcast called 2 Crees in a Pod, where they have created space for Indigenous resurgence and stories!

Remember, you can support the pod and rock some unique Indigenous Science merch at www.relationalsciencecircle.com/shop, all proceeds go towards Knowledge Keeper honoraria, following protocols, and keeping the pod going.

Please like, share, follow, and rate the pod, it goes a long way to share this knowledge.

Hand to heart to Indigenous Screen Office and Bespoke Productions Hub.
