Two Aunties and Reconciliation Podcast

Real conversations. Hard truths. Shared healing. A future built together.

Join Sxwpilemaát Siyám / Chief Leanne Joe and her co-host Hekwa'gila'ogwa / Shelley Joseph, alongside some of our special guests, as they explore the truths, histories, and lived experiences that shape reconciliation in Canada today. Through honest conversations, storytelling, curiosity, and Indigenous ways of knowing, Two Aunties & Reconciliation invites listeners to move beyond performative acts and into meaningful understanding, relationship, and action.

Each episode unpacks topics that many Canadians were never taught—from the Doctrine of Discovery and the Indian Act to racism, allyship, Indigenous rights, and the ongoing impacts of colonialism. Together with Indigenous leaders, Knowledge Keepers, educators, and allies, the series challenges myths, explores uncomfortable truths, celebrates Indigenous resilience, and imagines a future where our children inherit a more just and compassionate world.

Whether you’re just beginning your reconciliation journey or have been walking this path for years, this podcast offers a space to listen deeply, reflect honestly, and be inspired to take meaningful action.

Because reconciliation isn’t a destination—it’s a lifelong relationship built on truth, respect, reciprocity, and healing.

Be curious. Be courageous. Pull up a chair. The Aunties are waiting.
