Hear from Author, Educator, and Public speaker on the experiences she's encountered in Indigenous Education and in her own life.

This week it was a huge pleasure to be able to welcome Carl Mika, Professor of Māori and Indigenous Philosophies from Aotearoa, the country now known as New Zealand. As you can probably guess from the title of this episode, this conversation with Carl went pretty deep pretty quickly! That's because underlying the most apparently basic concepts like learning or logic that people use all the time are some pretty fundamental assumptions about the way the world is. And they're certainly not universal to all humans. So what does educating our young people in how to read their worlds mean in this case?Carl Mika is from the Tuhourangi iwi and is Professor of Māori and Indigenous Philosophies, and Head of School of Aotahi: School of Māori and Indigenous Studies, University of Canterbury. His published work includes Indigenous Education and the Metaphysics of Presence was published in 2017, Routledge), along with many articles and chapters, on the issues of colonisation and reductionism; Māori concepts of nothingness and darkness in response to an Enlightenment focus on clarity; mātauranga Māori and science. Carl teaches and researches in educational philosophy and mātauranga Māori, the law, and global studies, as well as aspects of Western philosophy. In 2024, Carl was awarded the University of Canterbury Research Medal. Also In 2024, he was recipient of the University of Canterbury Faculty of Arts Kairangahau Māori Award for research in Māori philosophies (both traditional and contemporary) and Māori methodologies. He is also a Fellow of the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA). You can find further links to Carl's work here: https://profiles.canterbury.ac.nz/Carl-Te-Hira-Lewis-Mika

608 - Why doesn't Degrassi tell stories about Indigenous kids? Degrassi has a long tradition of telling stories about people like you and me, drawing from our voices, our faces, and our struggles to bring real issues to TV. But where are the stories about Indigenous kids? Why don't we see their lives, their challenges, and their triumphs reflected on screen? In this episode, we're unpacking Canada's history with Indigenous storytelling and exploring why Degrassi might not have gotten it right. We'll dive deep, looking at who's behind the storytelling and asking tough questions about representation. Content Warning: This episode contains discussions about violence, racism, sexism, and other traumatic topics, including the heartbreaking realities of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) in Canada. Here's a look at what's coming up: Who in the Degrassi cast identifies as Indigenous, and how can we tell their characters are too? What has Degrassi's approach to Indigenous representation looked like over the years? Why was Nakuset Gould, who portrayed Grace, deemed “too controversial” to on social media? I'll share personal insights into how Canadian schools taught me (as a white student) about Indigenous issues—or, more importantly, what they left out. Plus, we'll discuss present-day examples of racism that Indigenous people continue to face in Canada. We'll also explore the ongoing online conversations among Degrassi fans about the lack of Indigenous storytelling in the series. And in Part Two, you'll hear directly from Indigenous fans who are sharing their stories, their voices, and their perspectives on what true representation should look like. If you love Degrassi, this podcast is for you.

Bringing into dialogue the fields of social history, Andean ethnography, and postcolonial theory, The Lettered Indian: Race, Nation, and Indigenous Education in Twentieth-Century Bolivia (Duke University Press, 2024) by Dr. Brooke Larson maps the moral dilemmas and political stakes involved in the protracted struggle over Indian literacy and schooling in the Bolivian Andes. Dr. Larson traces Bolivia's major state efforts to educate its unruly Indigenous masses at key junctures in the twentieth century. While much scholarship has focused on “the Indian boarding school” and other Western schemes of racial assimilation, Dr. Larson interweaves state-centred and imperial episodes of Indigenous education reform with vivid ethnographies of Aymara peasant protagonists and their extraordinary pro-school initiatives. Exploring the field of vernacular literacy practices and peasant political activism, she examines the transformation of the rural “alphabet school” from an instrument of the civilising state into a tool of Aymara cultural power, collective representation, and rebel activism. From the metaphorical threshold of the rural school, Dr. Larson rethinks the politics of race and indigeneity, nation and empire, in postcolonial Bolivia and beyond. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

AUNTIE: Wa'tkwanonhweráton. Greetings, love, and respect from me to all of you. On this edition of The Aunties Dandelion we're visiting with Dr. Kahente Horn-Miller, a formidable Bear Clan educator from our Kanyenkehà:ka territory of Kahnawake. Kahente's name means she walks ahead - and she's the first Indigenous woman to receive a 3M National Teaching Fellowship – Canada's most prestigious recognition in educational leadership and teaching at the post-secondary level. It's actually Kahente's criticism of existing education systems that led to her win the 2023 3M prize. In order to fully engage her students at Carleton University, she's introduced Rotinonhsyón:ni teachings like consensus-based decision making and live performance of our traditional stories into her classrooms. KAHENTE: Beyond the skill of writing, beyond the skill of citing properly doing research, I think that one of the main skills our students need to learn coming out of institutions is how to talk to each other. Indigenous and non-Indigenous. You know why? Because of climate change. We are facing an uncertain future, right? And Indigenous folks and Indigenous communities – we have a lot of the answers. AUNTIE: Kahente's entire family makes it their business to walk ahead. Her mom, model and activist Kahentinetha Horn and her sisters were deeply involved in the 1990 Kanasatáke Resistance – also known as the Oka Crisis - and her sisters are Olympian Waneek Horn-Miller, actress Kahnietiio Horn, and Dr. Ojistoh Horn, a medical practitioner in Akwesasne. This familial, matriarchal power - along with the family's grounding in language and longhouse led Kahente to focus on her own community in her scholarship - which most academics shy away from. KAHENTE: Everything I did I wrote about my own people. So this was something that I learned how to do on my own in order to get through that system. AUNTIE: I'm Kahstoserakwathe and we are Yéthi Nihsténha ne Tekarónyakénare. The Aunties Dandelion. We're focused on revitalizing our communities through stories of land, language, and relationships. And we want to say Nyá:wenkò:wa – or big thanks – to Canada's Indigenous Screen Office – teyonhkiwihstekénha – for making this podcast possible through their New Media fund. It helps us a LOT if you share this episode with your friends, follow us on your favorite podcast channel and give us a review. As always, we're happy you are here to listen to your Aunties.

This week, Emma Needham shares about upcoming events and an annual survey for native people across the US.  MARIE: I'm Marie Rock and this is Minnesota Native News. This week, Emma Needham shares about upcoming events and an annual survey for native people across the US.  Indian Country's largest survey is back for its third year. The Indigenous Futures Survey or IFS, is a multi-year Native-led research project. Its goal is to shed light on the authentic experiences, systemic challenges, and priority issues of Native peoples today. According to the organization Illuminative, the IFS 3.0 data will be shared with Tribes, organizers, and communities throughout Indian Country. The survey results will help leaders and allies better understand Native priorities ahead of the upcoming 2024 presidential election, be used for future policy creation, and more.Self-identifying indigenous people ages 18 and older can take the survey at indigenousfutures.org . This year's Indigenous Futures survey is co-led by the Illuminative and Native Organizers Alliance and available on their websites.  Marie: One priority for native people in Minnesota is wild rice. Many organizations, environmental advocates, students, and community members will gather near Duluth, MN, for a special symposium to discuss Wild rice in Minnesota The event will include a tour and ceremonies for wild rice. Attendees will receive education and how to foster relationships around good stewardship of wild rice. Registration is free to Indigenous and Tribal attendees, with reduced student fees. There is also a lodging scholarship available for those in need. There is also a call for potters and artists at this event. The Manoomin-Psin Symposium runs from November 13-November 15th at Black Bear Resort and Casino.  Marie: Also coming up in November is NativeRise 2023 Tickets are now on sale for NATIVERISE 2023. NativeRISE brings together more than 250 community and business leaders, supporters and elected officials to celebrate American Indian OIC's impact in the community.

The program will highlight several soaring “eagles” in attendance, including: Cara Jade Myers of the Wichita Tribe, an actress currently appearing in Killers of the Flower Moon, a new film directed by Martin Scorsese; Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota's Lieutenant Governor and a member of the White Earth Nation; Eddie Chuculate, a member of the Cherokee and Muscogee Nations, and author of This Indian Kid and Cheyenne Madonna, in addition to being a Star Tribune copy editor; and Trish Cook of the  Red Lake Nation, a local comedian and the evening's emcee. NativeRise takes place on Friday, November 17th, at the Windows on Minnesota venue on the 50th floor of the IDS Building in downtown Minneapolis. For more information, go to www.aioic.org.  Lastly, in education news, educators across Minnesota can meet the new Indigenous Education for All legislation with access to free classroom books that from the Mdewakaton Sioux Tribe. The Understand Native Minnesota campaign is giving away 20,000 free copies of the book Voices From Pehutuzizi, Dakota Stories and Storytellers for its One Read program. The book tells the story of the Upper Sioux community in present tense and provides support for educators to teach about Minnesota Native Tribes as current events. Once teachers request their books, there will be more ways to get involved and learn about Dakota and other indigenous tribes in Minnesota. A teacher's guide and webinar will be available later this month to share ideas on how the book can be used in classroom settings. Educators can request their free copies of Voices From Pehutuzizi and find support for teaching Native Studies at understandnativemn.org.  For Minnesota Native News, this is Emma Needham.  

It is generally believed that the indigenous vernacular education in India was oral, controlled by certain sections of the population and exclusive in nature. However, the archival data of 16,000 indigenous vernacular schools gives a very different picture. In 1813, the British Parliament earmarked 100,000 rupees a year for education in India. The colonial government did not utilise the amount. The British liberals collected the data on indigenous schools to urge the colonial government to spend on improving these schools. The data is diverse and covers the Madras, Bombay and Bengal Presidencies and North Western Provinces (Uttar Pradesh). It comprises nine linguistic groups – Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Odia, Tamil, and Telugu. It was collected between 1819 and 1838 by British officials and civilians proficient in local vernaculars. William Adam, a Sanskrit and Bengali scholar, collected the data for Bengal and Bihar. He sat in the classrooms and observed the method of teaching. So we have first-hand information on classroom practices of both Sanskrit and Bengali schools of Bengal. Many Sanskrit Pundits continued to correspond with Adam in Sanskrit long after the data collection was over. A.D. Campbell, who collected the data for the Bellary district, was proficient in both Kannada and Telugu languages. This episode of BIC Talks which took place in early July 2023, by Parimala V Rao Historian & Professor, History of Education, Jawaharlal Nehru University covers access, curriculum, textbooks, school holidays, fees charged by the teachers and the colonial policy towards them. It will also address how education became exclusive by the end of the nineteenth century. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favourite podcast app!

Did you know that British Columbia is home to the largest number of First Nations in the entire country? There are more indigenous languages spoken there than in the rest of Canada combined. We learned this and so much more from our interview with Jo Chrona.Jo is an educator, author, and advocate for indigenous education and is here to share her wealth of knowledge and experience with us. Throughout the interview, Jo emphasizes the importance of creating environments that respond to the whole person and the need to model a commitment to lifelong learning for our students. Plus, she highlights the powerful impact of the First Peoples Principles of Learning in CanadaThis episode is a valuable resource for any educator looking to deepen their understanding of anti-racist and indigenous education and take actionable steps toward meaningful change in their practice. One way that you can take the next step in your learning journey as an educator is by reading Jo's book, Wayi Wah! Indigenous Pedagogies – An Act for Reconciliation and Anti-Racist Education 2022, which was written for non-indigenous educators. This book asks a lot of great questions for you to reflect on, while also being an accessible read.  Don't forget to sign up for Camp BNT, where you can share your takeaways from this conversation in our private Facebook group filled with like-minded teachers!Resources:Join Camp BNTJo Chrona's websiteWayi Wah!

Language, if we are not thinking about it, can be just a way to get from place A to B, a way to order lunch or a way to pass an exam.  But language is much more than a way to communicate with words. This is especially true if you have had your language forcibly removed from you, like the thousands of Indigenous children who survived Canada's colonial assimilation project.Languages hold within them philosophies, worldviews, culture and identity.Language also has a lot to do with our relationships — how we relate to other people, to our families, to our ancestors and to the natural environment.These are precisely the aspects of Indigenous life that the Indian Residential School system was designed to destroy.  Last year, the United Nations acknowledged the importance of Indigenous languages by declaring the decade ahead to be the International Decade of Indigenous Languages.But long before the UN declaration, First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples have been pushing to revitalize more than 70 Indigenous languages across Canada.  In 2019, the Indigenous Languages Act was passed by the government of Canada.Still, progress — and redress — have been slow to come.In this special episode of Don't Call Me Resilient, as we look ahead to National Indigenous Peoples Day, guest host, Veldon Coburn speaks with Prof. Frank Deer, Canada Research Chair and associate dean of Indigenous Education at the University of Manitoba. They tackle the issue of disappearing Indigenous languages and delve into how much more needs to be done to revitalize them and why doing so is critical.This week's episode was produced in collaboration with IndigiNews and their publisher, Eden Fineday. 

On this podcast, we have covered book banning and education censorship a few times before, but the way we see it, bans and revisionist histories thrive in our silence. Despite the recent attention surrounding the onslaught of CRT bans, the suppression of certain histories isn't new. Indigenous history and Indigenous issues have long been underreported and even erased, sidelining Indigenous folks and their experiences from the national conversation. This is one of the most active mechanisms of oppression of Indigenous Americans — erasure — erasure of history, culture, and language. Make no mistake, CRT bans are just the latest euphemisms — and violent tools — for cultural genocide. This story is playing out across the country, especially in South Dakota where the governor and state legislature of South Dakota have introduced multiple bills over the last two years aiming to dramatically dilute Indigenous history and culture in the school curriculum. Today, we will be hearing from Wyatt Hunter, a recent high school graduate from South Dakota and Sarah White, Founder & Executive Director of the South Dakota Education Equity Coalition (SDEEC), about the fight for Indigenous education in South Dakota.

Stan Grant says he always dreamed of being a journalist. And last week he walked away from his dream after facing a systemic racism and vitriol thrown at him.  It's not a new thing. Adam Goodes and Yassmin Abdel-Magied have also experienced overwhelming hate, leading to the pair both stepping away from the spotlight.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what happened to Stan Grant, how his employer handled a wave of racist trolling and how every Australian is part of the problem...and can be part of the solution.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Australia's constitution has never acknowledged its Indigenous people as the country's original inhabitants, but a referendum to change that could give Indigenous people a bigger say in the country's parliament and laws. We talk to Sana Nakata, a Torres Strait Islander and principal research fellow at James Cook University's Indigenous Education and Research Centre.

Listen to a conversation with Meredith McCoy and Matthew Villeneuve about historical and current strategies that Indigenous people used to repurpose the educational systems for Indigenous well-being. In this episode, we are also joined by a student audience Q&A. Meredith McCoy is an Assistant Professor of American Studies and History at Carleton College. She is of Turtle Mountain Ojibwe descent, and her father, David McCoy, is an enrolled Turtle Mountain citizen. Meredith's research examines how Indigenous families, educators, and community leaders have long repurposed tools of settler colonial educational violence into tools for Indigenous life. Her first book, a history of Indigenous strategizing in federal education funding and policy, is currently under contract with the University of Nebraska Press. Matt Villeneuve (Turtle Mountain Chippewa descent) is Assistant Professor of U.S. History and American Indian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he teaches courses in American Indian History, Native education, and environmental history. His research focuses on Native histories of education and schooling. His current book project, "Instrumental Indians: John Dewey and the Problem of the Frontier, 1884-1959," is an intellectual history of America's most prominent philosopher of education and democracy and his relationship to the anti-democratic nature of federal Indian schooling.Recommended Sources:Meredith L.

AUNTIE: Wa'tkwanonhweráton Sewakwékon. On this edition of The Aunties Dandelion we visit with Emergent Auntie Nikaronhyá'a Dawn Martin who is Kanyen'kehà:ka (or Mohawk) from Six Nations of the Grand River Rotinonhsón:ni Territory and who recently won the title of Miss Six Nations. Nikaronhyá'a is a two-spirit culture and language carrier, a teacher, and a farmer who honors the foundation of the feminine. NIKARONHYA'A: The way I translate it is… that's my power… that is my power. My mother is my power, my mother is my strength – that is where I get – all the will to live comes from her and that could be Mother Earth or my birth mother, right? AUNTIE: During our visit we discuss Nikaronhya'a's relationship with the beauty and trauma of her community and family and how the power of our Mohawk language - through her father's influence - has become her support and guide. NIKARONHYA'A: He said it's about the voices of your ancestors. It's not even about a word. And that's what he would talk about is vibration and energy. That that word don't live on the paper. That word don't live in the text book. That word only lives with us in our being and our energy and our voice and our breath to make it come into existence. AUNTIE: We are Yethi Nihsténha ne Tekaronyakánere – the Aunties Dandelion. We're a media collective focused on revitalizing our communities through stories of land, language, and relationships. We are thrilled today to say “nyá:wen” which means “thank you” in Mohawk to the our friends at the Indigenous Screen Office of Canada onkak teyonhkiwihstekénha who are funding our podcast for the coming year. So make some tea, get comfortable and take some time to… listen to your Aunties.
