About This Podcast

Tending Our Roots is a conversation-based podcast that uplifts Indigenous voices, knowledge, and ways of being as pathways to well-being. Hosted by Dr. Miigis Gonzalez (Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe) and Dr. Jill Fish (lineal descendant of the Tuscarora Nation), the podcast creates space for stories grounded in relationships—to land, to community, to spirit, and to self. Each episode brings listeners into conversation with guests whose lives and work reflect Indigenous approaches to living well. From artists and scholars to knowledge holders and community leaders, these conversations move through story, humor, and reflection—rooted in everyday practices of care, responsibility, and connection. Whether speaking about language revitalization, ceremony, land, or creative expression, guests share how wellbeing is lived, not defined. Rather than seeking to define or measure Indigenous systems of health, Tending Our Roots listens to and learns from those who carry them forward. The podcast invites listeners to sit with stories, reflect on their own relationships, and reconnect with the teachings that continue to sustain Indigenous communities across generations.
