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 3 we speak with Indigenous Entrepreneur Darrell Brertton Jr.
Darrell Joe Brertton is a member of the Saddle Lake Cree Nation. He's been dancing & traveling the powwow trail ever since he could walk. Darrell shares Aboriginal Awareness at school bookings and community events throughout the year within Edmonton & throughout Alberta. Darrell's passion is traveling the powwow trail across Canada & USA, as well as enriching, empowering, and educating everyday people to grow and multiply their money compared to collecting dust in the bank. Darrell actually won second place in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the World's Largest Gathering of Nations Powwow. He will showcase the pride he has for his culture, creating multiple sources of income, and putting people before profits.
Darrell is on a mission to improve the communication gap between administration and membership for Indigenous organizations across Turtle Island. Darrell currently has over 35 Clients using the Communikit App technology, adding 2-3 new clients every single month because of the value the technology brings to the Nation and or Tribal Council.
