Why you should listen

Cohen Bradley is proud to hold the names of Taaydal ("coming in big") and Gidin Kuns ("powerful eagle") in his clan and nation of the Haida people. His passion for stories told in their many forms began when he was a child, in the potlatch house, and the legends and traditions of his ancestors have guided his work ever since. He began working in tourism at a young age and was given opportunities to study the oral histories and cultures of many First Nations. These experiences fuel his dedication to support the restoration of traditional practices in the modern context.
