Episode Three: Being Stubborn About Hope with Jacqueline Peeace & Jaiden Kuchinka of Makwa Dodem

Episode 3: Being Stubborn About Hope — with Jacqueline Peeace & Jaiden Kuchinka (Makwa Dodem) In this episode of Stolen Voices: The Fight Against Human Trafficking in First Nation Communities, host Nicole Robertson speaks with sisters Jacqueline Peeace and Jaiden Kuchinka of Makwa Dodem, a grassroots training initiative delivering culturally grounded, trauma-informed education on human trafficking. Together, they share how their work began, unpack the realities of exploitation affecting Indigenous youth, and challenge common misconceptions about trafficking in Canada. With a balance of honesty, humour, and compassion, they offer practical ways communities and families can increase awareness and safety. Rooted in sisterhood and cultural strength, this conversation is both eye-opening and empowering — a reminder that even in difficult work, we can remain stubborn about hope.
