In this post, I further explore working with Indigenous elders through video. Connecting with elders, and learning through their teaching is an important part of knowledge sharing (and a focus of my final project). Here are some examples of elder’s sharing knowledge:
- University of Victoria Podcast about truth, memory, power, and human rights
- Word choice when interviewing Indigenous Elders
- Learning project from North Dakota North American Essential Understanding Project
- Indigenous Elders curriculum guide (Alberta)
- Connection between Elders and the health system
- Powerful story from an Elder in Vancouver discussing his experiences with residential school
The Library at the University of Victoria offers a podcast called “Taapwaywin” that brings ideas and concepts to audiences around the world through sharing recorded visits with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, scholars, and practitioners.
Dr. Jacque Gray from the Native Indigenous Elder Justice Initiative reviews the importance of word choices when interviewing Indigenous seniors.
Teachings of our elders: North Dakota Native American Essential Understanding Project provides some interesting resources.
