ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week on Unreserved we explore what it takes to decolonize our colleges and universities.
Amanda Tachine is Diné from Ganado, Arizona. She is an assistant professor at Arizona State University and the author of Native Presence and Sovereignty in College: Weapons to defeat systemic monsters. She tells us how her students are taking on settler colonialism and finding power in kinship and love.
And we don't know where we're going unless we know where we come from. Harvey McCue tells us how he co-founded the very first Indigenous Studies Department in Canada, back in 1968. Harvey is an educator, a long time advocate for Indigenous youth, and a member of the Order of Canada.
And Randy Herrmann is taking on the institution and industry as he encourages the engineering department at the University of Manitoba to take Indigenous knowledge systems into account. He is the director of Engineering Access Program which supports Indigenous students studying engineering.
Plus, we check in with students at the University of Ottawa about where they find belonging on campus.
