On March 14th and 15th, Tre attended a conference at Northern Lights College titled “Reawakening our Language: A Gathering to Honour First Peoples Language Revitalization." Doig River First Nation partnered with the college to host the event to celebrate First Peoples' languages and the work gone in to revive them.
During the event, Tre had a chance to speak with seven people, from organizers to First Nations members to those who just attended as guests.
Since he was able to talk to multiple people, the episode on the event was divided into two parts. The first part was released in March.
In this episode, Tre chats with Gary Oker and Amy Acko with Doig River First Nation, as well as author Helen Knott.

In this episode, Tre is chatting with Stewart Cameron, a former Chief of Saulteau First Nation and Tribal Chief of the Treaty 8 Tribal Association. 
We talk about the work he put in during his terms as Chief, as well as his work in the oil and gas sector and as an electrician.
The main discussion during this episode focuses on Stewart's current work as the owner of Makwa Consulting, focusing on promoting cultural safety in the industry.
The goal of his work is to understand the current state of Indigenous partnerships in the industry. Once that is established, they weave a path to add value to any current and future relationships with Indigenous communities using cultural safety.
Cultural safety is a concept arising out of the New Zealand Māori Culture — Makwa has developed a method to move this into action. Through the concept, organizations can transform existing internal and external relationships. Transforming these interactions supports power-balanced, respectful relationships that ensure mutually beneficial partnerships, according to Makwa Consulting.
We also touch on Stewart’s upbringing, the influence of his granny, and his thoughts on the state of the oil and gas industry in the region.
