The Ancestral Science Podcast wanted to support our friend JUNO AWARD NOMINEE Walter McDonald White Bear....so... we decided to gather some friends, a few guitars, and some pizza. Along with some impromptu riffs and freestyle we got to chat about embodying music, spirit as an additional voice/instrument, connections between goosebumps and music, frequencies, songs, & language of the Land, the suppressed Native American Influence on Rock n Roll, Rhythm and Poetry, and the connection between snagging blankets and flutes.

Pullin’ Cedar, Ancestral Trees, & the Fish Wars
We were honoured to be recording in a cedar longhouse on the ancestral Nisqually lands of Hweqwidi HANFORD MCCLOUD. The pod chatted with Hanford alongside relatives Juan Carlos Chavez, Alvin Harvey, and a furry friend for support. Amongst the aroma of cedar and displays of relational and practical science of canoe and basket-making, we chatted about cedar bark as insect repellant, trees as teachers and wise helpers, FishWars, how to make waterproof woven cedar baskets, the difference between a canoe and a boat, and using your hands to teach and heal through pulling cedar.This episode of the Ancestral Science Podcast was recorded on location in January on the misty Lands of the Nisqually Nation just South of Seattle, by the Nisqually River.

Nehiyaw Science of Love & Death from Grandmother Scientists
