Understanding and Appreciating the Teachings of Mi'kmaq Elder Albert Marshall Brady Doucette - October 7, 2022 My Relationship with Elder Albert Marshall Growing up as an individual who enthusiastic to learn, I always gravitated towards the Elders within Mi'kmaq Nations, as the knowledge they could bestow upon me in an interaction would fuel my desire to learn even more, and Elder Albert Marshall , of Eskasoni, Mi'kmaq Nation, is someone whom many respect, including myself, as he is one of the most inspiring Indigenous knowledge holders of this generation. When listening to Elder Albert speak, I am completely enthralled by what he has to say, his cadence is extremely captivating to all in the room, leaving his audience inspired - when I grow up, I aspire to be like Albert.
