Welcome to the final episode of our “for the love of” February series! For the Love of our Children! Today we welcome a champion for our youth. Uncle John Neptune, a tribal council member, father, and leader at the Penobscot Nation and beyond. The aunties spend time with John discussing our future generations, our commitment to their wellness and the love we hold for them. We take the conversation to many places. We discuss all things we hold responsibility for such as our children, animals, and the land we collectively share. We had so much fun with Uncle John, making it clear why our young people are so fortunate to have him in their lives! The Aunties feel pretty fortunate too!
