Podcast appearances and mentions of Tanya Talaga

Ahead of Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday, many are remembering his time as pope as one that marked a shift towards more progressive ideals, including an apology for the role of the Catholic Church in the harm done to Indigenous peoples through the residential school system, both in Rome, and again in Canada, back in 2022. Some critics said this apology didn't go far enough. Tanya Talaga is an Anishinaabe journalist, speaker and contributing columnist for the Globe and Mail. She'll explain the Pope's role in reconciling historic harms, what impact his apology actually had, and where reconciliation with the Church goes from here.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

This is the latest in a series of podcasts where I focus on a particular part of English instruction or English related matters in detail. In this episode I'm talking with Trevor MacKenzie. Trevor is a world-renowned speaker and author and is best known for his work with inquiry based teaching approaches. As an IB educator, inquiry is a word, strategy or concept that comes up on a daily basis with students and colleagues. Given its fundamental role within the MYP and DP, getting Trevor on to ask him questions and learn from his experience was a massive privilege.  We discuss,  1. What is the best literary text he's ever read, taught or been taught?  2. What does an inquiry classroom look like and sound like in Trevor's experience?  3. Typically what would be the ratio between need-to-know or non-negotiable skills/knowledge and the inquiry process time wise?  4. How do teachers strike a balance between non-negotiable exam / coursework specification in English and student passion? 5. What are the difficulties or challenges Trevor's faced with asking students to design their own assessment in middle-school? 6. What Trevor thinks of statements of inquiry and real world assessment in MYP unit planning. 7. And finally, what Trevor thinks of the increasingly popular explicit instruction over the inquiry approach.  From beginning to end, this conversation continually clarified things I'd heard about the inquiry approach and left me with plenty of considerations for how to enhance my own approach to the classroom. Thanks again to Trevor who spoke concisely, passionately and transparently throughout.  If you want to be kept up to date on when educational chat like this happens, then be sure to subscribe to the podcast and/or follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/chrisjordanhk (@chrisjordanhk) Links: https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Fallen-Feathers-Racism-Northern/dp/1487002262 (Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City) by https://www.amazon.com/Tanya-Talaga/e/B0881Z3SKN/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1 (Tanya Talaga) Trevor's https://www.amazon.com/s?i=audible&k=Trevor%20MacKenzie&ref=dp_byline_sr_audible_1 (books) Kath Murdoch's https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVOj5Szd2ZD3rHMcOZOcGgQ (YouTube Channel)

Despite health concerns, the Pope remains committed to visiting Canada later this month. There are high expectations for the Pope and his expected apology for the Catholic Church's involvement in residential schools, and reporter Philip Pullella says he expects those expectations to be met. Pullella discusses his face-to-face interview with the Pope, residential school survivor Kenneth Young talks about his expectations, and Anishinaabe columnist Tanya Talaga says Indigenous communities need more than an apology.

This episode of Unreserved is all about aunties — why we love them and all the ways they lift up our communities. Join us in the Auntie Circle at Katita Cafe in the Winnipeg Art Gallery to get the Auntie 101. Sonya Ballantyne, Heather Bjorklund and Joanne MacDonald give us the tea on what an auntie is in Indigenous family and community, and share some sweet and funny auntie stories. Toronto's Call Auntie Clinic started out as an impromptu healthcare hotline at the start of the pandemic, but it has since grown into a cozy space to come and visit. The clinic is staffed by Indigenous doctors, midwives and birth workers like Niiohontéhsha A'nó:wara, Krysta Williams, Ryan Giroux and Cheryllee Bourgeois who provide reproductive and sexual health services, using a kinship model. Tenille Campbell is a poet, photographer and auntie. She says not all aunties are sweet, gentle and kind. So she wrote the poem “We aren't all nice aunties” and invited many self-identified aunties in her life to record videos of themselves reading the poem. She shares her big auntie energy! The podcast, Auntie Up! features Indigenous women talking about the important stuff like missing and murdered Indigenous girls and women and the effects of lateral violence in our community. But they also talk about boujee bannock and the politics of bead work. Journalist, author and storyteller Tanya Talaga says she created the podcast to give space to the Aunties in our communities and help share their important voices with the world.

Admit this, all of you. I laugh too loud, can't hold my brownie properly in polite company and am apt to call shit “shit.” I can't be trusted to be loyal to my class. In fact, the very clever among the elite know that I am opposed to the very existence of an elite among us. For me, the struggle for self- determination will end with the dissolution of this elite and the levelling of the CanAmerican class structure or it will continue—for a thousand years if need be.You have acquired your knowledge, friends, through the spoils of a colonial system which intends to use you to oppress my poor country-cousins. I owe no apology for refusing to go along with that.At the end of each year, we like to read a book by an author who passed that year, and in 2021, we lost someone very close to the show: Lee Maracle, whose book Memory Serves we talked about in a previous episode, and who joined us in a bonus episode about Great Expectations. We chose to read her book I Am Woman, a collection of essays (interwoven with memoir, story, and poetry) subtitled “A Native Perspective on Sociology and Feminism”. And, in addition to responding to the specific issues that the book brings to the forefront, and appreciating Maracle's craft in putting these issues on the page, Suzanne and Chris think together about how it feels to read and talk about a text that might not be addressed to you at all.SHOW NOTES.Lee Maracle: I Am Woman.

This month we're taking a break from our usual book discussion to honour the life and legacy of the great Lee Maracle. The iconic Sto:lo writer and storyteller died in November at the age of 71. She leaves behind a revolutionary catalogue of published works, along with an abundance of tremendous stories and other artworks that have inspired and influenced generations of Indigenous storytellers. To honour Lee and her work, we invited writers Tanya Talaga and Armand Garnet Ruffo to join us to share their reflections of their time with her, and how she will continue to shape literature for generations to come.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-what-canada-lost-when-lee-maracle-passed-away/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/lee-maracle-death-bc-indigenous-writer-poet-1.6245582https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/14/books/lee-maracle-dead.html

Few people leave the kind of legacy that writer, poet, mentor, and teacher Lee Maracle has. She was one of the first Indigenous authors to be published in Canada and paved the way for many others. Writers Drew Hayden Taylor, Tanya Talaga, and Waubgeshig Rice reflect on her legacy and what some have called a recent "renaissance" in Indigenous literature.

The book focuses on the death of seven First Nation students and the incompetency surrounding the investigation of the death of the students.

Major content warnings for death, alcoholism, suicide attempts, colonialization, and unanswered deaths.

Mainstream media has long been guilty of not giving enough exposure to Indigenous stories and failing to prioritise the voices of Indigenous reporters. In this podcast from the Stories Worth Telling series, hear from a panel of leading journalists as they celebrate excellence in Indigenous reporting around the world and consider what changes are needed to see better First Nations representation in leading media networks. Featuring Warlpiri journalist and co-host of NITV’s The Point Rachael Hocking, Anishinaabe and Polish Canadian journalist and All Our Relations author Tanya Talaga in conversation with Kamilaroi/Dunghutti journalist and co-founder of the Tiddas4Tiddas podcast Marlee Silva. Stories Worth Telling is a series created by the Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas and Sydney Writers’ Festival. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

From Canada and Brazil to Norway and Australia, the Indigenous experience in colonised nations holds startling – and deeply disturbing – similarities. The bestselling and award-winning All Our Relations: Indigenous trauma in the shadow of colonialism, by Anishinaabe and Polish Canadian journalist Tanya Talaga, skilfully folds together reportage and storytelling. In doing so, it shines a light on how racism and intergenerational trauma have produced a global crisis underscored by alarmingly high youth suicide rates. As part of the Stories Worth Telling series, Tanya speaks with Kamilaroi woman and Sydney Morning Herald Indigenous affairs reporter Ella Archibald-Binge about her powerful call for action, justice and a more equitable world for Indigenous peoples. Stories Worth Telling is a series created by the Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas and Sydney Writers’ Festival. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

The Residential School system created many ghosts that stick around till these days. Tanya Talaga’s “Seven Fallen Feathers” will encourage this podcast reflection on the current schooling and social situation of Indigenous kids in Thunder Bay.

Tanya Talaga’s non-fiction book Seven Fallen Feathers illustrates the vicious confluence of racist attitudes and a colonizing culture through the stories of seven indigenous children who died in similar circumstances in Thunder Bay, Ontario. We talk about how much of the history and reality of indigenous people living in Canada is still obscured and rendered invisible today. Echo by Pam Muñoz Ryan weaves the fictional stories of three musically gifted children who live in politically charged times in mid-twentieth century. From Nazi Germany through the American Depression to the impact of Japanese interment in the US during WWII, political turmoil is personalized in the lives of children whose fates are linked by a special harmonica. Question of the episode: Do you have an example of a story that touched you and informed you of people you didn’t really know much about?
