What was happening in 2017 that made me want to travel from the east coast of the USA to Vancouver Island? Why was Chief Ernest Alfred of the Namgis First Nation living on an open net salmon fish farming platform? You'll want to hear what it's all about in "Origins and Introductions".
 

Sound design and editing by Jay Siebold. Additional music selections by Torgeir Vassvik. Chief Ernest Alfred segment audio originally recorded by Tamo Campos.
