ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome back to our podcast! In today’s episode, Leanne and I dive into some of the core principles that shape our approach to Indigenous education. We’ll talk about Indigenous Ways of Knowing—what it means to us, how it guides our work, and how we braid these principles together, each strand representing different aspects of our approach. We’ll also unpack what we mean by "the colonial way," discussing its impacts and legacies.
Our team usually meets twice a month to explore these topics in-depth, revisiting our approach to ensure we're staying true to our mission. Sometimes, we challenge ourselves by exploring ideas we may not even agree with, just to see where those perspectives lead. In this episode, for example, I even consider what it might mean if colonialism were seen as a “good idea,” giving us space to examine assumptions and spark meaningful reflection. We hope this conversation inspires you to reflect as well. Enjoy the discussion!
