On today’s show, we listen in to the second Amlamgog Youth Powwow on Saturday at the Dorchester Veterans Community Centre, and speak with Amlamgog chief Rebecca Knockwood about the joy of seeing the youth in her community celebrate their culture, and the pain of remembering what happened to children in Canada’s residential school system.

Plus: we talk New Brunswick election with some of the political scientists in town over the weekend for the Atlantic Provinces Political Studies Association; the Freshwinds housing cooperative is putting out a call for potential new members; and there are two candidates forums planned for the Tantramar riding next week.
