In our pilot episode of HealStory, Victoria Buffalo Robe (Cree) shares deeply about her profound lineage. Victoria recorded her HealStory in her apartment in the un-ceded First Nations territories often known as Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She talks about the origins of her name, the power of the women in her family, and the relationship with land and plants that she learned through them. She also opens up about her family’s trauma from Canada’s oppressive Residential School system and how through it all she has emerged defining her own creative life path as a modern business woman and mother.
