About Elsie Paul with special guest Davis McKenzie

Raised by grandparents who took her on their seasonal travels, Elsie spent her childhood immersed in Sliammon ways, stories, and legends. Elsie's adult life unfolded against a backdrop of colonialism and racism. As she worked to sustain a healthy marriage, raise a large family, cope with tremendous grief and loss, and develop a career and give back to community, she drew strength and guidance from the Sliammon teachings she learned as a child. She shares this traditional knowledge for the first time in Written as I Remember It.

Elsie will be joined by her grandson, Davis McKenzie, a professional communicator.
