Voices of Esquao

Empowering Indigenous Women Through Storytelling Voices of Esquao is a storytelling platform dedicated to amplifying the voices, experiences, and leadership of Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit+ people. Produced by the Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women, this podcast shares lived truths, cultural knowledge, and conversations that matter — from advocacy and justice to healing, leadership, and community empowerment. Through thoughtful dialogue and real stories, we celebrate the role, value, and achievements of Indigenous women while building greater awareness of the work happening on the ground. Each episode highlights the programs, partnerships, and initiatives that are shaping positive outcomes and creating meaningful opportunities. Esquao stands at the forefront of breaking down barriers — shaping policy, collaborating with partners, and advancing solutions that strengthen families and communities. These are the voices leading change. These are the stories shaping the future.
