Understanding Family Stories - Interview with John Prendergast
In this episode, Madeleine is joined by John Prendergast for a look at how generational perspectives shift, and what it takes to unlearn old biases. John reflects on his own background, sharing his unique family connection to a contentious 1877 court ruling and his personal transition from historical ignorance to active cultural awareness. The conversation centers on how parents can move past superficial engagement to help their children find a genuine sense of place, touching on practical strategies to stay meaningfully plugged into community, utilizing local resources, and the simple value of being fully present for our kids.
