In this episode, we talk to Chris Heidebrecht and Corey Kapilik, who were involved in creating a new Minecraft Edu experience, Manito Abhee Aki, which teaches about Indigenous Anishinaabe culture, history, and reconciliation. Minecraft EDU is an educational game world created by Microsoft, based on the popular MInecraft video game.

Chris is a teacher at St. George School in the Louis Riel School Division in Winnipeg, who has been using Minecraft Edu in his classroom. Corey is a principal at Marion School in Louis Riel School Division in Winnipeg. Both were involved in the creation of this lesson, in consultation with Anishinaabe Elder and grandmother Chickadee Richard.

Join us as we discuss the experience of the creation of this lesson, and how it is relevant and being used in classrooms today in Manitoba and beyond.
