Understanding from the Land with Dr Melissa Arcand

This episode is from Diversity Imperative when they were joined by Dr. Melissa Arcand is an Assistant Professor and Soil Biogeochemist from the University of Saskatchewan and also the academic advisor for students in the Kanawayihetaytan Askiy program, which trains students to work in resource management and land governance in Indigenous communities across Canada.
We discuss how Melissa’s work as a natural scientist intersects with that of Indigenous knowledge systems, and we get the history lesson you wished you would have had years ago when it comes to Indigenous agriculture on the prairies and the oppressive policies put in place by the government of the day. Melissa also shares the work she leads that empowers First Nations land managers.

Liberty stayed the same, year after year—a name you knew and a reputation you could depend on. In the hundred or so years since, the green Liberty stripe became a badge of honor and pride in the country and county road stretches of rural America. Patents expire over time, but traditions and history don’t. And while there may be other bib overall brands on the market today, there’s only one Liberty.
Liberty is about living free. Remaining true to yourself and the qualities that drive you.
With us, what you see is what you get. We won’t sugarcoat it, and we won’t pander to fleeting style trends pretending to be something we’re not. We make a pair that has done the job for a hundred years. It was good enough for them and it’s good enough for us.
Liberty is about unwavering quality and craftsmanship built to take on every task, every day. We respect folks who tell it like it is—even if it takes them some time to get to the point. So we’re telling you that our bib overalls are tough enough for your task. They work for farming the traditional way. They work for painting giant small-town murals. They work for backwoods engineering. They work for slow-smoking ribs. They work for hunting alligators in the Louisiana swamps. Heck, they even work for raising backyard chickens.
