Deanna Naveau-Heyde is inviting Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island to share their stories and perspectives — and maybe a cup of tea or two — as part of the soon-to-be-launched Tea with Dee podcast
Sault Ste. Marie’s Deanna Naveau-Heyde is inviting folks from across Turtle Island to join her for a cup of tea and some honest conversation about the lived experiences of Indigenous Peoples as part of her soon-to-be-launched podcast.
“Working in non-Indigenous organizations or places have really shown me that there’s still a lot of work for us to do in educating the greater society about who we are as Indigenous people, but also to give a space for those people who are doing some amazing community development work that we may not hear of that are behind the scenes or hidden, or maybe people aren’t aware of them,” she told SooToday during a telephone interview earlier this week.
“I never had a home to return to, so I made Sault Ste. Marie my home,” she said. “I thought nobody can take away my education, and that will never burn down — I have this four-year honours degree, and I need to put it to good use.” Naveau-Heyde says she’s seeking out Indigenous Peoples from all walks of life, from elders to youth to professionals, entrepreneurs and community members. She would also like to hear stories from Indigenous people living in urban settings about the gaps in services they experience on a day-to-day basis.
A mother of five children, she’s been in the process of breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma, brought on by the lasting impacts of colonization and the residential school system, by communicating her own stories to her offspring. Naveau-Heyde already has three Indigenous movers and shakers lined up as guests on the Tea with Dee podcast so far: a lawyer, an artist and an entrepreneur.
