I have shared a few podcasts in previous posts that I have listened to or come across on my journey towards learning more about Indigenous knowledge, cultures, and issues. However, while exploring if technology can be used meaningfully to support First Peoples Principles of Learning in my English Language Arts classroom, I started making connections about podcasts in my courses and how significant they can be to incorporate Indigenous voices through oral storytelling in ELA. Using podcasts can connect to the English Language Arts curricular competencies as well as the First Peoples Principles of Learning. The curricular competencies of Develop an awareness of the diversity within and across First peoples societies represented in oral texts and Recognize and appreciate the role of story narrative, and oral tradition in expressing First Peoples perspectives, values, beliefs, and points of view can be applied and can also allow students to share their own stories as well. Similarly, the First Peoples Principles of Learning: Learning is embedded in memory, history, and story and Learning recognizes the role of Indigenous knowledge are applied. This list of Indigenous podcasts on the IndigiNews website or varied. I have listened to 2 out of the 10 so far and am looking forward to the rest in order to grow in my own learning and aid in supporting my students in theirs.
