Indigenous 150+ podcaster Danasco Chakasam, raised in Moosonee with family roots from Attawapiskat, speaks with host Zorga Qaunaq. Beading and learning traditional crafting skills from the age of nine, Danasco speaks about her love for fashion activism and her experience with the First People’s Innovation Lab which brings together modern technology with traditional arts and crafts. She shares what got her into podcasting why it’s important to talk about cultural appropriation and why it’s so wrong.
