Beyond Fires & Floods: Pt 1 (ep 366)

On this episode, the formal kick-off to our extended series, Beyond Fires & Floods (BFF): Indigenous Narratives in an Era of Extremes, beginning with the first half of a panel recorded last October before a live audience in the Great Hall of the Museum of Anthropology at UBC.

The opening, public component of a 3-day gathering of journalists, scholars and others focused on Indigenous narratives of climate change, the panel assembled four seasoned storytellers embodying decades of experience, a wide-ranging conversation which served as a microcosm of the overall event—co-convened by MI host/producer Rick Harp and Candis Callison, UBC Professor and long-time MI roundtabler.

** GRATITUDE ** Special thanks to Mitiana Arbon, Pacific Curator at MOA—one of BFF's four core sponsors, alongside the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, the Global Journalism Innovation Lab, and the UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs.
