Stories from the Land (2021)
Season 1
Inspired by Anishinaabe comedian Ryan McMahon’s hit podcast series, Stories from the Land celebrates the diversity of First Nations people by bringing viewers deep into the connections that First Nations people have between land, culture and community. From a humble bowl of corn soup and the man who is keeping its tradition alive, to the story of a family that holds the last commercial fishing licenses on their lake, Stories from the Land is a celebration of First Nations cultures, past and present. It highlights the nuance, complexity and responsibility of being active in the rebuilding of communicating through culture.
