Each February, folks across Saskatchewan recognize Indigenous Storytelling Month. It’s an opportunity to celebrate First Nations, Metis and Inuit culture, and the rich history of storytelling in their communities. We wanted to close out this special month by sharing some Indigenous justice stories, told by Indigenous students. In partnership with Professor Trish Elliott and her Indigenous Communications Arts program at First Nations University, all stories and interviews in this episode were produced by students at First Nations University. They did an excellent job, and we are honoured to share these stories on the Know Justice podcast. We hope you enjoy listening!
A HUGE thank you to Professor Patricia Elliott and the incredible students that took part in this project. We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner with you in order to share these stories. Special thanks to Bee Bird, Kaitlin Howie, Lori Deets, Crystal Greene, and Amber Bear for sharing your hard work with the Know Justice podcast audience. Thanks to all the students for their great work. The future of journalism and storytelling is in good hands! Visit the Indigenous Communications Arts website for more information about the program.
