ANDREW D FLANAGAN

Through Dig, Andrew was introduced to the Indigenous knowledge systems and ways of knowing that had been nurtured and protected by First Nations peoples for tens of thousands of years. These were not just teachings to be learned-they were lifeways to be lived. They were patterns of being that connected him back to the land, to his ancestors, and to a way of seeing the world that was as ancient as it was relevant to the challenges of today. Dig didn't just show Andrew a new path; he opened his eyes to the songlines etched in the landscape, to the stories embedded in the stars, and to the responsibility that comes with being in relation to all things. It changed his work, his vision, the way he operated in the world. Redefining everything he did in a new way.
