Christine McRae is an Algonquin Woman who has a deep commitment to this land and the Algonquin people - she is a young and important voice that is part of the movement to rebuild and relearn who her people are. It's hard work that she loves. Her passion and vision for this is evident in the interview - we talk about starting her new business, Waaseyaa Consulting in the middle of a pandemic, her work as Executive Director at NativeLand.ca Digital, effective land acknowledgments, colonialism and the future. Waaseyee is an Algonquin word that translates to "bright light". And it's clear, and you'll see that in this interview, that people like Christine are making indigenous and non-indigenous people's lives brighter with the knowledge she shares.
