Indigenous Perspective: Education System

Unrooted Podcast- The Indigenous Foundation

Aanii! Boozhoo! Tânisi! Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Unrooted, a podcast by The Indigenous Foundation. In today's episode, our two co-hosts, Lazaya (a part Plains Cree woman from Sweetgrass First Nation and Onion Lake First Nation) and Kelsey (an Anishinaabe and Dutch woman from Saugeen First Nation), will be talking about Indigenous perspectives of our current education systems with special guest Zhaawnong. Zhaawnong is an Anishinaabe content creator from Kitigan Zibi First Nation. He is known for his TikToks (@Zhaawnong) that educate others on various issues that impact Indigenous peoples as well as his comedy TikToks that cater to what many call native humour. This podcast episode highlights the perspectives of these three Indigenous folks and the changes they believe are necessary to better accommodate Indigenous peoples in our education systems.
