Indigenous Vision Podcast

Welcome to the Cultural Humility Podcast Series presented by Indigenous Vision!

On this very first episode Souta Calling Last (Executive Director & Trainer) and Melissa Spence (Producer & Trainer) give a quick overview of what Cultural Humility is and share some of the agreements that are essential when actively engaging under the Cultural Humility framework.

The Cultural Humility model provides a method to advocate and maintain accountability by redressing the power imbalances in our communities. For over two decades, the model has replaced the insufficient notion of “cultural competence” with a cyclical approach that embraces critical self-reflection as a lifelong learning process to create a broader, more inclusive view of the world.
