Description

On this week’s episode of Roots and Hoots, our host is joined by Anita Cardinal - a proud Nêhiyaw (Cree) lawyer and runner. Anita shares how her discipline and healing practice of running helped her to achieve her dream of becoming a lawyer. Anita helps listeners understand the difference between Aboriginal law and Indigenous law, and reflects on wisdom her mother passed down to her after attending a national gathering for the Survivors Circle for Reproductive Justice.
