Emma and Aputik visit 10 year old Nuka at his home in Nunavik to hear the incredible story of his hunt. From spotting "furry rocks" on a distant mountainside (that turned out to be a 400kg muskox!) to navigating treacherous terrain by snowmobile, Nuka shares every detail of his first big hunt – including the moment he got nervous pulling the trigger. But this episode isn't just about the hunt. Emma learns how Inuit families use every part of the animal – from vacuum-packing the meat to share with elders and relatives, to spinning the soft qiviut fur into luxurious warm clothing. And she learns about Nuka's favourite things about living in the north – including the wolves that visit his backyard! Join Emma as she realizes that Inuit children learn survival skills and cultural knowledge that connect them deeply to the land – skills that have been passed down for thousands of years. Next episode: Emma goes dog sledding! Learn about the ancient tradition of qimutsik (dog sleds) and discover how Inuit traveled across the Arctic long before snowmobiles.

What if the bad guy in your nightmare didn't chase you, but tried to tickle you to death? That's just one of the Inuit legends reimagined by the throat singing duo PIQSIQ on their haunting new album, “Legends.” Back in the summer, sisters Tiffany Ayalik and Inuksuk Mackay of PIQSIQ joined Tom Power to talk about the record and why they're embracing Inuit traditions in non-traditional ways. Plus, they set up their new song, “Mahaha: Tickling Demon.”Fill out our listener survey here. We appreciate your input!

Say goodbye to General Glitterbeard, the first non-binary Inuit tap-dancer to command a carrier group, or Admiral Aquamarine, our pioneering transatlantic pole-vaulter from the Choctaw Nation of drag queens. These aren't leaders; they're LinkedIn virtue-signals with epaulets. Under Biden's Big Top, the military became a freak show where the ringmaster hands out stars for participation trophies—remember that circus where they paraded out every identity flavor like it was Ben & Jerry's gone rogue? Hegseth's fix? Promote warriors, not woke bingo cards. Lethal laugh: If promotions were this easy in combat, we'd have a five-star general who once survived a pillow fight. "First to cry uncle" doesn't count, snowflakes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the World Extreme Medicine Podcast, Eoin Walker sits down with chef, explorer, and researcher Mike Keen to unpack an extraordinary Arctic journey.Mike kayaked the entire 3,000km length of Greenland's rugged west coast, surviving solely on a traditional Inuit diet of seal, whale, dried fish, and wild foraged plants. Working with researchers at King's College London, he tested how an ancestral, high-fat, low-carb diet impacts health, endurance, and resilience in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.We explore:The science behind ancestral diets and their potential to improve health and performanceThe physical and mental challenges of solo Arctic travelClimate change impacts on Greenland's ice and wildlifeLessons from indigenous communities on food, sustainability, and survivalFollow Mike's work: WebsiteInstagram

In this episode, Stephanie talks with Willow Allen, a model, mother, and social work student whose story goes from her childhood in Inuvik, Northwest Territories to international magazine covers. Willow shares about life in the Arctic, cultural representation in modeling, and the realities of grocery prices and winters up north. She opens up about her path into modeling, her work in social media, and the role of family and community in shaping her identity. Willow also reflects on becoming a mother, balancing career and studies, and the responsibility she feels to pass down her Inuit culture. Together, they explore ambition, mental health, and what it means to create space for women to pursue their dreams while staying true to themselves.Willow Allen grew up in Inuvik, NWT, a small Arctic community where locals experience an average of 30 days of polar night every winter. “I was raised in both worlds,” says the 23-year-old Inuvialuk model. “I learned to live off the land at my family's bush camp, hunting and trapping the way my ancestors did and being told traditional stories by my parents, and attended school and university in Saskatchewan.” While initially her goal was to follow in her mother's footsteps and go into social work, Allen was launched into an unexpected modelling career after being spotted by an agency on social media a couple of years ago.“It has been so empowering to represent the beauty and culture of my people,” she says. “[With] this platform, I'm hoping to inspire younger generations and raise awareness about the issues that Indigenous peoples face.” One of these issues is the intergenerational trauma that's a result of residential schools; it's what prompted Allen's dream to work in mental health in her community of just under 3,400. “We will not forget the children who never made it back home, the survivors and their descendants who are hurting or the attempts to erase Indigenous culture in the name of assimilation.”For Allen, there's still a long way to go on the path to reconciliation. “Having a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a start,” she says. “Beginning to search residential-school sites for unmarked graves is a start. Acknowledging that Indigenous women and girls are missing is a start. Canada is just starting.” Proudly embracing Inuit culture is Allen's way of calling for more significant change, which will lend to the healing of her people. “I will never change myself or my image because I know my strength comes from my identity as an Inuvialuk woman,” she says. “Wear your traditional dress with pride, learn your language and speak to your elders. We are strong, we are resilient and we are Indigenous.”Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/womendontdothatRecommend guests: https://www.womendontdothat.com/How to find WOMENdontDOthat:Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/womendontdothatInstagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothatBlog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blogPodcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcastNewsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.comYouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthatHow to find Stephanie Mitton:Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMittonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/beaconnorthstrategies.comTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmittonInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/Interested in sponsorship?

HEADLINE: L'Anse aux Meadows, Conflict, and Freydís BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The site of L'Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland provides definitive archaeological proof of Norse presence in North America, with dendrochronological research confirming wood was cut in 1021. This site, however, was a short-lived, primarily male base camp for logistical support and exploration, not Vinland. Artifacts like butternut suggest the Norse sailed further south than Newfoundland, searching for elusive Vinland. Interactions with indigenous peoples (Skraelings) were complex, involving trade (evidenced by Norse items on proto-Inuit sites) and escalating conflict, often started by the Norse themselves. Freydís, Erik the Red's daughter, is portrayed in the sagas as a homicidal figure who killed women with an axe. 1906 ONLY HORSE UN GREENLAND

Tackling something entirely new for Filmjitsu, Mike slaps Jay with the huge cinematic tortilla that is the 2019 documentary/mockumentary Wrinkles the Clown. And Jay, mouth full of water and brain full of contempt, does his best to keep himself together while discussing clown fear, parenting and Inuit folktales. This is a weird one for sure, but the guys return to their usual shenanigans while counting down their Bottom Five Punishments, a collection of bizarre, frequently upsetting, and often cruel diegetic disciplines that include being slapped with a VHS tape, cursed with inexplicable paralyzation and forced to eat... chocolate cake? If that's not enough, during a raucous round of Dueling Double Bills, Mike and Jay pay their respects to Robert Redford while pairing some of his movies with the likes of... Shakes the Clown. It's clowns and punishment this week, a three-ring cinema side-show served-up with a side of Greek auteurism and the discovery of a 1981 nexus of talent! Step right up, folks—because this episode again proves the harshest punishment is usually just hitting ‘play.'

After learning about hunting from Lukasi, Emma joins Aputik at a traditional community feast in Kuujjuaq's theater – and discovers that Inuit food culture is unlike anything she's ever experienced!

She also meets Allen, a knowledgeable hunter who explains the dramatic boom-and-bust cycles of caribou populations. Join Emma as she discovers that in the Arctic, a community feast isn't just about food – it's about sharing knowledge, taking care of elders, and keeping thousands-year-old traditions alive. Plus, get ready for ptarmigans (Arctic chickens!) and the amazing story of how communities ensure no one goes hungry.

Misery is manufactured and dark forces continue to profit from it. But our light does not die. Let's root ourselves in truth. It will always outlast the empire of lies. The kingdom of God is not confusion, but clarity. In Syria, a one time terrorist is now a statesman. When governments play with human lives. The Spiral Case. Inuit population control from Denmark in the 90's. Implants for twelve year olds. Zero informed consent. Considered too stupid. Compensation is in process. Implementing the eugenics book. Add an extra zero to the numbers. Trump is pressuring them. Child health care at it's worst. Scary similarities to the Covid policies. It's almost like colonialism. Oh, and we funded Smartmatic in Venezuela. A history of USA overthrow policy. Are there voices bold enough to speak out? A historical Syrian speech at the UN. Operation Cyclone is the precedent. It was dripping everywhere with everything. Israel has other plans. It's not just Gaza. Iran nukes are now in play. The status of our assets is constantly changing. Ireland is in the censorship news. Sometimes in intelligence, the environment is the message. Always take the high level and skeptical view. Those skills will serve us all very well in the future.

This week at the United Nations General Assembly, Syria's new interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa came with a message: Syria is back after being isolated for about six decades. Also, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the UN Climate Summit the country's first national emissions reduction targets. It marks a shift in China's approach to climate policy, which, until now, allowed emissions to grow in tandem with economic growth. And, Denmark issued a formal apology yesterday for forcing Indigenous women and girls from Greenland to use contraceptive devices. Beginning in the 1960s, Danish doctors inserted IUDs into thousands of Inuit women and school-age girls, often without their or their parents' knowledge or consent. Plus, climate change has exacerbated drought and extreme weather in northern Ghana, leaving many in the agricultural region struggling to grow enough food.

In this special premiere of Voices of the North, Earth Ranger Emma arrives in the Arctic after following Canada geese on their incredible migration from Mexico!  But when she discovers that Inuit people hunt the geese she just traveled 8,000 kilometres to protect, Emma is shocked and confused. How can hunting animals be okay when her mission is to protect them? With the help of her new friend Aputik, Emma visits a traditional hunting camp to meet Lukasi, who teaches her that Inuit hunting is nothing like she expected. From using every part of the animal to sharing country food with elders and the community, Emma discovers a completely different way of understanding conservation – one that's thousands of years old. Plus, hold onto your seats when Lukasi shares his heart-pounding story of coming face-to-face with a wolf!

If Donald Trump is a broken clock only right twice daily, then one of those truths might be US policy toward Greenland. According to the Australian based geo-strategist Elizabeth Buchanan, Trump is correct to be preoccupied with American influence over, and perhaps even ownership of Greenland. In her new book, So You Want To Own Greenland, Buchanan argues that the 57,000-person continental super-sized island is becoming central to 21st Century geopolitics. From the Vikings to the (yes) colonizing Danes, she argues, Greenland has always been an important piece of the North Atlantic strategic jigsaw. Today, however, with the melting polar ice cap and its vast mineral resources, Greenland is becoming essential - not just to native Greenlanders, the United States, Denmark and Canada, but also to Russia, China and even India. 1. America's Greenland Interest Predates Trump by 160 Years US interest in Greenland dates back to 1867 and the Seward Purchase ("Seward's Folly"). Trump's fixation isn't erratic - it reflects longstanding American strategic thinking about North American geography that transcends partisan politics.2. Denmark is a Colonial Power, Not a Progressive Beacon Contrary to its reputation for happiness and human rights, Denmark runs Greenland as a modern colony. This includes a forced contraception program targeting 12-13 year old Inuit girls and economic control where 50%+ of working-age Greenlanders work for the government.3. Climate Change is Creating the "New Panama Canal" The melting Arctic ice cap is opening new shipping routes between Europe and Asia through the North. Any cargo passing this route must go through Greenlandic/Danish waters, making Greenland a critical chokepoint for 21st-century global trade.4. Greenland Wants Independence, But Denmark Won't Let Go Greenlanders voted for independence in a referendum, but Danish law requires the Danish Parliament to approve any independence - a catch-22. Without Greenland (and the Faroe Islands), Denmark ceases to be a "kingdom" and becomes just Denmark.5. China and India Are the Real Wild Cards While focus remains on US-Denmark tensions, China and India are rapidly expanding their Arctic presence through "research" missions and shipping investments. For every American business jet landing in Greenland, there are Chinese and Indian interests as well.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Episode 210 of The Adventure Podcast features polar guide, explorer, and adventurer Sarah McNair-Landry. Growing up in Iqaluit on Baffin Island with parents who pioneered polar guiding, Sarah's childhood was shaped by dog sledding, camping, and life in the Arctic wilderness. In this episode, Matt and Sarah explore her journey from early expeditions to guiding at the North and South Poles, the unique challenges of dog sledding and kite skiing, and how she and her partner Boomer combine kayaking, climbing, and polar travel into bold multi-sport expeditions. They touch on themes of resilience, heritage, adventure for adventure's sake, and the delicate balance between tourism, culture, and conservation in the North. Sarah reflects on recreating her parents' legendary circumnavigation of Baffin Island, how growing up in an Inuit community shaped her, and why, despite the hardships, she continues to push further into remote landscapes.

The Disappearance of Lake Anjikuni Village is one of Canada's most perplexing mysteries—a tale of an entire Inuit village vanishing without explanation. The story first surfaced in November 1930, when fur trapper Joe LaBelle stumbled upon what appeared to be a ghost town on the remote shores of Lake Anjikuni in the Northwest Territories.LaBelle was familiar with the area and had visited the village before. He expected to find a bustling community of around 25 people preparing for the harsh Arctic winter. Instead, he found eerie silence. The snow-covered village lay abandoned, with food still hanging on drying racks, clothing neatly arranged inside empty tents, and no signs of a struggle. Even more unsettling were the sled dogs, found frozen to death and still tethered to their posts, as though their owners had vanished without a second thought.As LaBelle explored further, he made a disturbing discovery. The village's burial ground had been disturbed. Graves were found empty, with the contents mysteriously missing. Alarmed, LaBelle hurried to the nearest telegraph office and contacted the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP). Officers reportedly visited the site and confirmed his findings: an entire community gone without a trace, leaving behind no footprints, no equipment, and no signs of where they might have gone.News of the event spread quickly after it was published in a 1931 newspaper article. The NWMP received numerous inquiries about the disappearance but soon issued an official statement denying any knowledge of the incident. This discrepancy cast a shadow of doubt over LaBelle's claims. If the police had indeed investigated the site, why were they now denying it? And if the report was fabricated, why did LaBelle stick to his story?Over the decades, theories about the vanished village have proliferated. One theory suggests the community fell victim to forced relocation by the Canadian government, a practice not unheard of during that time. Others speculate that the villagers succumbed to an extreme and sudden blizzard, though this fails to explain the disturbed graves. Some locals whisper about ancient Inuit legends of malevolent spirits, while more modern theorists point to the possibility of extraterrestrial involvement.Skeptics argue the story is nothing more than a hoax. The 1931 article that popularized the tale contained inaccuracies and exaggerated details. Historians have found no official NWMP records of an investigation, and some suspect LaBelle or the journalist who published the piece fabricated or embellished the account for attention.Still, others insist that the truth is stranger than fiction. Stories of strange lights in the sky near Lake Anjikuni have circulated for generations. Some witnesses claim to have seen glowing orbs hovering over the area, adding fuel to the theory that something more otherworldly may have been responsible.Was the disappearance of Lake Anjikuni Village a tragic case of forced relocation, an embellished tale that grew into legend, or evidence of something far beyond human comprehension? And what happened to the bodies from the disturbed graves?Join us as we investigate the enigma of The Disappearance of Lake Anjikuni Village in our latest episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, available now on Spotify and YouTube.

In this episode, Dr. Mike T. Nelson pulls back the curtain on some common keto myths, including how it's connected to fat loss, athletic performance, and even ancestral eating patterns. You might be surprised to learn that smart athletes will do anything to win—except go keto. In this myth-busting conversation, you'll discover why the high-fat-eating Inuit peoples probably weren't in ketosis, how keto can slash your power output by up to 8%, and why metabolic flexibility—not extreme diets—is the real key to optimal health.

Her latest album, Inuktitut, is notable for a couple of reasons: first, it's sung in the language called Inuktitut, and second, it is an album of reworked songs by Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and more. Elisapie, in looking back to the songs of her youth, celebrates the resilience and joy of the Inuit people and the spirit of connection. She and her band play in-studio. Set list: 1. Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass) 2. Isumagijunnaitaungituq (The Unforgiven) 3. Arnaq

The prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market draws over 1,000 Indigenous artists from more than 200 tribal nations each year, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis artists from Canada. But this year, economic policies from the Trump administration have complicated things for those traveling from north of the border. We'll chat with a few artists. Also on the show: India and China will restart direct flights, and mortgage rates dip, but not enough to boost demand.

Für eine Spiegel-Reportage hat Thilo Grönland besucht und aus diesem Grund gibt es diese Woche eine passende Folge zur Spiegel-Reportage, die am Freitag erscheinen wird. In der Folge spricht Thilo mit dem Historiker Ebbe Volquardsen über Grönland – denn er lebt seit fast zehn Jahren in der Hauptstadt Nuuk und unterrichtet dort Kulturgeschichte. Als deutscher Wissenschaftler in einem ehemals kolonisierten Land beschäftigt er sich mit Erinnerungspolitik, Dekolonisierung und der Frage, was es bedeutet, zwischen Dänemark und den USA zu stehen. Gemeinsam mit Thilo blickt Ebbe auf die verdrängte Kolonialgeschichte Grönlands: von Zwangsverhütungen über staatlich gesteuerte Bildungsverschickungen bis hin zur kulturellen Entwurzelung durch dänische „Modernisierung“. Es geht um die Widersprüche zwischen dänischem Selbstbild und grönländischer Realität – und darum, wie junge Inuit heute beginnen, ihre Geschichte selbst zu erzählen. Die beiden sprechen außerdem über die geopolitische Bedeutung Grönlands im Zeitalter des Klimawandels: Welche Rohstoffe verbergen sich unter dem Eis? Warum ist Grönland strategisch so wichtig – und welche Rolle spielen die USA, China und Europa in diesem Spiel? Und was bedeutet es, wenn Donald Trump ankündigt, dieses Land kaufen zu wollen?

In the 1930s, in Northern Canada, a fur trapper named Joe Labelle stumbled upon a small Inuit village that had been recently deserted. Many wondered what drove the villagers out so quickly, as weapons and clothing were left behind, dogs were left to starve, and a grave had been dug up, inexplicably. Some say that strange lights seen over the region during the time of the disappearance may be the biggest clue of all. For a full list of sources, please visit: sosupernaturalpodcast.com/disappeared-anjikuni-lakeSo Supernatural is an audiochuck and Crime House production.

Mike Keen came up with the idea of a kayak expedition off the coast of Greenland before he had any clue about how transformative it would be for his life and health and worldview! Today, he dives into what went down—what it was like eating the traditional Inuit diet (including fermented seal!), how his body responded to the kayaking and change in diet, and insights gathered by the microbiologists examining his stool samples (yes, his poop). Now, he has planned to explore more remote places and to continue diving into traditional diets to see how his body responds. A former chef, Mike now admits that he learned more from this experience kayaking around Greenland than from the many decades prior, when he was purchasing and preparing overly processed foods.   Visit Mike's website: eatyourenvironment.com Register for the Wise Traditions conference in Utah at wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Paleovalley and Optimal Carnivore

Whether you're drawn by the mystique of the Northern Lights or the wisdom of indigenous lore, this episode will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of myth, nature, and the human spirit.https://mythlok.com/aakuluujjusi/

Traditional culture meets global international economic development at the Bering Straits Native Corporation. The collection of tribes plays a key role in the Port of Nome that is working to develop the nation's first deepwater port in the Arctic. It is among the big — and small — economic development visions for Indigenous people in the Arctic region. We'll hear about those opportunities as well as some concerns about balancing financial and traditional environmental well-being being discussed at the Arctic Encounter Symposium in Anchorage, Alaska. GUESTS Haven Harris (enrolled tribal member of the Nome Eskimo Community), senior vice president of growth and strategy for the Bering Straits Native Corporation Edward Alexander (Gwich'in), co-councilor for Gwich'in Council International Rachel Kallander, founder and CEO of Arctic Encounter Summit Kuno Fencker (Inuit), member of the parliament of Greenland

Send us a textHuman metabolism, primate evolution, and modern health challenges with evolutionary anthropologist Herman Pontzer.Episode Summary: Anthropologist Dr. Herman Pontzer discusses human evolution and metabolism, comparing humans to primates like chimps and gorillas to explain our higher energy use, bigger brains, and longer lives despite trade-offs in reproduction and activity; they discuss dietary shifts from plant-based to hunting-gathering, metabolic adaptations, and modern issues like obesity, where exercise aids health but diet drives weight loss, emphasizing ultra-processed foods' role in overeating and the promise of new drugs like GLP-1 agonists.About the guest: Herman Pontzer, PhD is a professor of evolutionary anthropology and global health at Duke University. He is the author of books like "Burn" and "Adaptable," which explore how bodies adapt to diets, activity, and environments.Discussion Points:Humans burn 20% more daily energy than other primates (controlling for body size), enabling big brains, more babies, and longer lives, but requiring efficient food strategies like hunting and gathering.Unlike apes, humans evolved smaller guts, higher body fat (15-30% vs. apes'

Think everyone working in Hollywood is rich, famous, and living the dream? Think again. In this episode, host Gabe Howard pulls back the velvet curtain with therapist and Hollywood insider Shanelle Connell to expose the reality behind the entertainment industry's glossy facade. Forget the multimillion-dollar paychecks and private jets — most working actors, crew members, and directors grapple with constant rejection, financial insecurity, 12- to 15-hour workdays, and the unrelenting pressure to smile through it all. Even finding a therapist can be a minefield when your life is dismissed as glamorous nonsense. Takeaways: The emotional whiplash of booking a gig… and the crash that follows How societal judgment can keep performers from getting help The hidden cost of “doing what you love” when your work devours your identity Why so many stay in the industry — even if it weighs on them Whether you watch tons of movies or just wonder how fame warps mental health, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about Hollywood — and the humans who keep it running. Our guest, Shanelle Connell, completed her BA in Psychology at the University of British Columbia – Okanagan. While there, she briefly served as a UBC Mental Health Network board member and performed research under Dr. Jocelyn Wentland and Dr. Suzanne Holtzman. Additionally, she participated in the Indigenous Research Mentorship Program, which awards First Nations, Inuit, and Métis undergraduate students (like herself) the possibility to work alongside faculty mentors to gain research experience of their ideal interest. Shanelle also ensured to enroll in many special interest classes at her university, like the Psychology of Creativity, Humour, and Interpersonal Relationship Psychology – contributing to her expansive understanding of how our unique psychology colours every aspect of our lives.  As a former Miss Universe Canada delegate and Miss World Okanagan, Shanelle has used her platform to actively advocate on behalf of individuals who have experienced and survived domestic, mental, and sexual violence/abuse – and continues to work with individuals healing from the effects of narcissistic trauma.  In 2019, Shanelle re-entered the film industry and began her professional work as an actor. She leveraged her 20+ years engagement in performance arts and commercial market to guide her journey as she made her way to on-screen entertainment. However, Shanelle did not start there and has worked in various positions like stand-in and graphics department, producing, and even has had a behind-the-scenes look at the chaos that follows agency life and the casting process. Hence, she truly understands our everyday ups and downs in this creative field. Today, Shanelle is an active member of UBCP-ACTRA and the CMPA, living between Vancouver and Kelowna, British Columbia. She frequently collaborates with our unions, non-profit organizations, and industry leaders to ensure she stays proficient in what film needs for mental health support. Even more, she values the feedback of her peers (those on and off set) on what can make her practice and our industry better. Therefore, Shanelle proudly amalgamates this insider information with her credentials to finally offer our colleagues what they deserve.

In this eye-opening episode, Michaeleen Doucleff returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to dive deep into the art of fostering independence and emotional autonomy in children. She shares transformative insights from her travels around the world, revealing how different cultures empower children by encouraging initiative rather than constantly telling them what to do. Michaeleen explains how small shifts in our parenting approach—like trusting our children to contribute meaningfully to the household—can drastically improve behavior, strengthen family bonds, and promote emotional regulation. Michaeleen discusses the importance of including children in family life and how this inclusion nurtures their sense of responsibility and belonging. From her experiences with the Maya, Inuit, and Hadza, she highlights the universal parenting practices that teach children to observe, respond, and contribute without the pressure of a chore chart or constant direction. This conversation is a must-listen for any parent who wants to build a calmer, more cooperative home while empowering their children to thrive with confidence and initiative.
