Guest: Dr. Keith Carlson
In this far-ranging conversation, Dr. Keith Carlson and podcast host Á’a:líya Warbus discuss his long-time work as a historian for the Stó:lō people and some of the projects he’s been involved since first arriving in Chilliwack in 1992. Everything from interviewing Elders and researching pre-contact Stó:lō governance, to creating books like the Sto:lo Atlas and We are Asked to Witness, to what it would take to create a truly Stó:lō, yet modern, governance system. Keith Carlson teaches history at the University of the Fraser Valley and holds a Tier one Canada Research Chair in Indigenous and Community-Engaged History.
