On this deeply meaningful episode of Truth Be Told, Tony Sweet sits down with Jessica Engelking, a descendant of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe and the Representation Director for the Great Plains Action Society. Together, they explore the powerful truths behind Indigenous history, generational trauma, land stewardship, cultural resilience, and the evolving meaning of “Truthgiving.”
Jessica provides an honest look at the realities of colonial violence, boarding schools, environmental destruction, and the ongoing fight for representation and sovereignty. She also shares the beauty of Indigenous spirituality, community resilience, and the reclaiming of culture, language, and ancestral traditions.
Tony reflects on his lifelong connection to nature, his respect for Indigenous wisdom, and the importance of acknowledging uncomfortable history so healing can begin. This is a conversation grounded in truth, compassion, and hope for future generations.
