What does it mean to survive the night and look toward dawn? Writer and filmmaker Julian Brave NoiseCat joins us to talk about his new book We Survived the Night and his Oscar-nominated documentary Sugarcane. Julian shares how storytelling and art become acts of survival amid colonial violence and displacement. He reflects on his family's history, the legacy of residential schools and how Indigenous Nations continue to resist and heal together. Through myth, memory, and truth-telling, Julian shows that survival is the only way forward.
