Don Burnstick is a comedian and motivational speaker, who specializes in healing and personal wellness using humour and performance to provide a holistic approach. The youngest of 15 children, coupled with growing up on the reserve, taught Don a variety of means of defending himself, not the least of which became his use of humour.
