Description

In this deeply moving episode of the Métis Speaker Series, we sit down with Valerie Harris of Cranbrook, BC, an adoptee raised outside her culture who is reconnecting with her Métis roots. Valerie shares her powerful journey of surviving cancer three times and the spiritual, emotional, and cultural healing that followed. She reflects on grief, trauma, and the epigenetic weight carried across generations, while also celebrating the grounding power of plants, touch, and community. Valerie’s story is a testament to the strength that can emerge from struggle and the peace that can come from finally feeling like you belong.
