Stan McKay (Walking Buffalo) is a founding elder of the Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre. His stories and his vision are cherished by our community, and inform much of our work. In this wide-ranging conversation, Stan shares about his happy early childhood in the self-sustaining village of Fisher River, about some traumatic memories of residential school, and about his healing journey back to the lodge of his own people. He highlights the healing power of reconnection with the Earth and challenges us to "forget the imposition of fake wealth and security, and to find community and family and our real sense of being a person on the land."
