MAPLE FAMILY TREEHOUSE Podcast

A family tree is more than just a bunch of names and dates. Are you a white person who has been in North America for several generations or more? Do you know your family migration stories? I believe understanding your white colonial settler stories has the power to heal and create positive change on a personal, familial, social, and maybe even national level. If you do not believe me - you are invited to climb my family tree with me on the Maple Family Treehouse.

    Norse by Northwest

    I discuss the earliest migration to North America in my family tree to date. I ask why my Norse ancestors migrated to Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland only to abandon their settlements hundreds of years later.

    Episode 23, Vrooman: A Harvest of Violence

    This is the Vrooman line in my family tree. They are the epitome of evil stereotypes of colonial settlers. It is a tough story to tell, but it needs to be told. Cloe Cooley was enslaved by Adam Vrooman in Canada. It is a national story that broke in Canada this year when Cloe was designated a person of national historic significance by the Government of Canada. Cloe is also recognized on a Canadian stamp. Her case of brutal treatment at the hands of my ancestor, Adam Vrooman prompted the first legislation to limit slavery. Notes can be found at maplefamilytreehouse.com.

    Episode 17 Is Merlin in my family tree?

    I am related to the Boscombe Bowmen who are to date the most likely candidates for building Stonehenge. One medieval myth about the origins of Stonehenge is that Merlin the magician built Stonehenge. Which story is true? You might might think the obvious choice is to follow the concrete evidence leading to the Boscombe Bowmen. It isn't that simple though. Have a listen.
