All the knowledges in our cultures aren’t always neatly organized in documents, so sometimes we catch up with old friends who remind us of how important it is to keep in mind all that memory can teach us, however we can access it. This Sunday, listen to our Icelandic colleague, Gísli, talk about the connection he forged with Prince Edward Island while he was in Greenland, and how an Island Studies project led to a Canadian coast-to-coast concert tour which was the beginning of the Vinland Society of Prince Edward Island. Thank you for the reminder about how important our connections to each other and to the land are to the future of our Islands, Gísli, and for encouraging us to do things that make us “proud and useful.”
