Rooted in Gwekwaadziwin: Episode 4 – Don Cada BaaIn this episode, we are honoured to share our open and honest conversation with Oob-Kobijun, Donald Cada Baa. Don Baa was an important member of the Gwekwaadziwin Miikan community where he provided cultural and therapeutic support, as well as lots of laughter to participants and staff.
From his memorial card:
“Don Spent his life journey using the gifts given to him by the Creator to help so many, not only in his career but along his spiritual journey. To those he helped, know that you helped him as much as he helped you. He was also very proud to have walked in a path of sobriety for over half of his life.”
