Indigenization and Health
In this insightful episode, we delve into the intricate layers of the indigenous experience, exploring core concepts that govern their ways of life and practices. Our guests Dion Simon and Delbert Major sheds light on the foundational education essential for listeners to better understand the rich tapestry of indigenous culture.
We examine the specific challenges faced by indigenous students at MRU, exploring how the university both supports and falls short in addressing their health and mental health needs.
The discussion extends to the impact of discrimination on academics, financial struggles, and the significance of traditional practices like smudging at MRU. What is smudging, when is it used, and what barriers exist in its practice? We draw connections between these barriers and other experiences indigenous students may encounter, including discrimination.
A special highlight features the Blackfoot language course, adding a unique perspective to the conversation. We also tackle the crucial topic of resources for indigenous students at MRU and explore ways non-indigenous students can actively engage in learning more about and supporting indigenous culture.
Our theme song is by Seth Makes Music.
This podcast is produced by Catalina Berguno, Giulia Ortiz and supported by the Community Podcast Initiative.
