The Deadly Uncle Podcast was created as a safe space to connect Indigenous men and boys to their culture and communities. Join Curt Young and Trent Agecoutay as they talk to "Deadly Uncles" in the Indigenous Community.
Each podcast promotes belonging and social inclusion to support the physical and mental wellbeing of Indigenous men and boys. With the support of the Edmonton Arts Council, we have successfully interviewed 20 “Deadly Uncles” and in episode 19 we sit down with Alec carton.
Alec Carton (Ali Tapaquon) is a nêhiyaw First Nations and African person whose ancestors are from both Saskatchewan and Ethiopia. Alec is dedicated to the revitalization of Indigenous Ceremonies, languages, and ancestral ways of living. Through the advancement of Indigenous economic world views and the sharing of ancestral teachings, he believes that long term security for all can be achieved through sharing.
