Unreserved is getting in the festive mood with an episode about gifts — material items you can give to family and friends, as well as the intangible gifts of community and culture.
We take a tour of an Indigenous-led market in Ottawa that doesn't accept money — and instead is going back to old ways of trading and exchanging. The marketplace is run by the Assembly of Seven Generations. Co-founder Gabrielle Fayant and A7G volunteer Madeleine Kelly reflect on what makes this market such a gift for Indigenous people — especially youth — in Ottawa.
Falynn Baptiste says her gift is song. The teacher from the Red Pheasant Cree Nation translates popular holiday music into the Cree language. You'll hear her story and her songs.
Are you looking for something good to watch, a great read to dive into or a good book to give to someone you love? Unreserved's resident pop culture uncle, Dene author Richard Van Camp, joins host Rosanna Deerchild to share his recommendations of what to watch and read over the holidays.
