Doreen's interview is followed by Govinda's interview with DT (Troy) Cochrane, an economist, father, and partner. DT was born and raised on a ranch in Treaty 4 territory. He currently lives with his children and partner in Peterborough, Ontario, which is part of Treaty 20. DT’s research focuses on corporate power and its impact on the well-being of people and planet. He has published on the role of Indigenous resistance in pipeline valuation, which draws on the economic insights of Arthur Manuel.
