with guest Randall Bear, from Nadleh Whut’en, Dakelh nation, of the Duntem’yoo Bear clan. How is your story rooted in the place—the land—you call home? If you’ve been displaced from that place, is that another facet of poverty? Randall Bear Barnetson, an Indigenous artist from Nadleh Whut’en in Northern BC who now resides in Vancouver, shares his personal experience with poverty—not poverty from a lack of possessions, but as a result in not living on the land he’s from. He shares about the importance of place and how wealth isn’t defined by how much you own, but is rather defined by being in community with others. Randall emphasizes the power of sharing our own stories, especially as they relate to the places we call “home”. For him, these stories find expression in his artwork, which is deeply shaped by his connection to his ancestral lands. Join Randall as we delve into place, poverty, and personal story.
