About this listen

Growing up, Robert Davidson's Haida culture was so oppressed, he had no idea he was Indigenous.

Colonization was devastating his people. It had touched everything from their way of life and their environment to the arts.

Host Chris Beaver speaks with Davidson about how in the final hour of his fading heritage, he ushered in a revival of Haida arts and culture.
