The Deadly Uncle Podcast was created as a safe space to connect Indigenous men and boys to their culture and communities. Join Curt Young and Trent Agecoutay as they talk to "Deadly Uncles" in the Indigenous Community.
Each podcast promotes belonging and social inclusion to support the physical and mental wellbeing of Indigenous men and boys. With the support of the Edmonton Arts Council, we have successfully interviewed 20 “Deadly Uncles” and in episode 11 Trent and Curt sit and talk with Chief Cadmus Delorme from Cowessess First Nation.
Chief Cadmus Delorme, a Cree and Saulteaux, is a citizen and currently Chief of the Cowessess First Nation. Mr. Delorme is finalizing his Institute of Corporate Director designation, received a Master of Public Administration from the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy and a Bachelor of Business Administration along with a Certificate in Hospitality, Tourism and Gaming Entertainment Management from the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv).
While a student, Mr. Delorme served in several capacities within the student association, including vice-president and president, and also served as a student ambassador. In 2012, he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his student leadership and the hospitality he showed to Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, when they visited FNUniv in 2012. Mr. Delorme has also been named one of CBC Saskatchewan’s Future 40, which celebrates the province’s new generation of leaders, builders and change-makers under the age of 40. Chief Delorme worked as the Student Recruitment Officer for the First Nations University of Canada from 2013 to 2016 when he was elected as Chief.
