  • Settler Re-education 101

    This podcast has enabled me to hear the perspectives of native scholars I wouldn’t have any contact with otherwise. As a white settler working in construction there simply aren’t many natural ways I would come across these perspectives. This is concerning as in recent years white construction workers started voting, this wasn’t the case 10+ years ago. Thanks for some re-education

  • My Favourite Podcast!

    Media Indigena has been & continues to be my most anticipated podcast. Rick is a great host & the panelists are academics, experts in their fields & well beyond. This podcast is wise, informative and often funny (which is amazing because the topics are often difficult). They cover a wide range of subjects & current issues - many not covered at all (& definitely not with full comprehension) by mainstream media.

    Some of the academic concepts & terms are unfamiliar to non-academics like me.... more

  • Smart & Informative

    Love the show!

    A very useful location app to use is “what3words”. Used off-line, to communicate non-addressed locations, use words rather than gps numbers. Name / find an exact location, doorway or trail-marker, or add it to photos. Used around the globe for search and rescue; Some Canadian gov’t organizations have adopted it in 2020.

  • Unbalanced

    Although informative and articulate, the authors and speakers miss out on contemporary issues nuances. I was expecting more centrist position but I found it a bit too left-of-centre for my liking.
