Show Notes
In this episode, we delve into Anishinaabe storytelling, its comedic nature, and what it means to tell traditional stories in a community so affected by centuries of colonialism. Special thanks to my guest Adam Spry, an indigenous scholar and literary critic, as well as professor at Emerson College.
