Episode 3 | The Aunty of Antarctica with Danii Kehler
In episode number three, we are joined by the Aunty of Antarctica, Danii Kehler. As we navigate the systemic barriers Indigenous and marginalized people face, Danii teaches us the importance art and culture play in her story. Danii shares her experience growing up an urban native, rooted in culture and ceremony through her kohkum's (grandmother's) teachings, to venturing to a continent where few have explored. This is just the tip of the iceberg! (I couldn't not tell this joke, c'mon)
Danii Kehler is a Plains Cree woman from the Kawacatoose First Nation on Treaty 4 territory and is a recent graduate from the Edwards School of Business in Business Management. In the Fall of 2024, Danii will be entering the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan to complete a Master's in Energy Security.
She is an Indigenous artist focused on the resiliency of Indigenous people healing from intergenerational trauma by deconstructing colonial structures and reclaiming an Indigenous narrative. Danii shares stories through her art by showcasing the true beauty and meaning of Indigenous culture and people. Danii is the Manager of SevenGen Energy, an Indigenous Youth Council tackling climate change by empowering and equipping Indigenous youth.
She is also the “first” First Nations person from Canada to be a participant of the 2041 ClimateForce Antarctic Expedition becoming an Ambassador for the Antarctic, charged with making a stand in the fight against anthropogenic climate change. Danii is now a part of the team that is working to see protection and justice for Antarctica!
