Clean Drinking Water in Indigenous Communities

Aanii! Boozhoo! Tânisi! Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Unrooted, a podcast by The Indigenous Foundation. In today's episode, our two co-hosts, Lazaya (a part Plains Cree woman from Sweetgrass First Nation and Onion Lake First Nation) and Kelsey (an Anishinaabe and Dutch woman from Saugeen First Nation), will be talking about the crisis of clean drinking water in Indigenous communities and how it impacts them as Indigenous peoples. This podcast episode is one of a continuous series that will be talking about and breaking down the lack of clean drinking water when it comes to Indigenous communities. This topic is one that is severely overlooked and constantly silenced or hidden by the government and media. With that, we encourage everyone to listen and go beyond the podcast to learn about the actions you can take to contribute to ending this crisis.

Indigenous Perspective: Education System

Aanii! Boozhoo! Tânisi! Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Unrooted, a podcast by The Indigenous Foundation. In today's episode, our two co-hosts, Lazaya (a part Plains Cree woman from Sweetgrass First Nation and Onion Lake First Nation) and Kelsey (an Anishinaabe and Dutch woman from Saugeen First Nation), will be talking about Indigenous perspectives of our current education systems with special guest Zhaawnong. Zhaawnong is an Anishinaabe content creator from Kitigan Zibi First Nation. He is known for his TikToks (@Zhaawnong) that educate others on various issues that impact Indigenous peoples as well as his comedy TikToks that cater to what many call native humour. This podcast episode highlights the perspectives of these three Indigenous folks and the changes they believe are necessary to better accommodate Indigenous peoples in our education systems.
