Description

Welcome to the Caring Society’s Spirit Bear paw’d-cast! Tune in for informative episodes that feature guest appearances from community members, advocates, and leading experts on a number of matters affecting First Nations children, youth, and families. We are bear-y grateful to our friends in Dr. Veldon Coburn’s “Indigenous Politics in Canada” course at the University of Ottawa, who produced Season 1 from January to April of 2022. For more information on what we do and how you can help promote justice and equity for First Nations kids and their families, visit our website at: https://fncaringsociety.com.
