Voices of Resilience: Janice Bad Moccasin - Carrying the People in Your Heart

In this episode, we pivot to individual stories from our community that give us a more personal window into the practice of remembering our resilience.  We join honored community elder and leader Janice Bad Moccasin as she shares her story as she shares her experiences, from ceremonies in family homes to the healing work she has done on the frontlines of Standing Rock, asserting her place as a strong indigenous woman coming alongside community to address trauma and healing.
