Privileging Indigenous Oral Traditions Past, Present, and Future https://indigenouspodcast.trubox.ca/podcasts/privileging-indigenous-oral-traditions-past-present-and-future/ This podcast series is produced by four Master of Education at Thompson Rivers University who felt inspired to give back after taking Dr. Mukwa Musayett's (Shelly Johnson) International Indigenous Research course in May of 2021. These four students wanted to continue the learning process and come as learners as they engaged in this podcast project. Realizing that podcast can be a means for academic scholarship that privileges the voices of Indigenous scholars, knowledge holders, politicians and academic trail blazers. The diversity of this group is what allows for this intercultural understanding. The podcast team consists of the following four M.Ed. Candidates positioning themselves as: an Indigenous Dakelh midwifery researcher, Chinese International Social Worker, a South East Asian Sikh International student and educator, and a second-generation Filipina Canadian Catholic educator. Our mantra, "We come as learners, we come to listen." This podcast is a culturally safe environment as we attempt to privilege the voices of Indigenous people. We are here to listen attentively to the Indigenous oral traditions of the past, present, and future. Building intercultural understanding is key towards Reconciliation.

Laura Grizzlypaws was born and raised in Lillooet, British Columbia in the Interior Plateau region, she is of St’át’imc descent. Her St’át’imc name is “Stálhalamcen – Grizzly Paws,” She belongs to the people of Xwisten the Bear Clan. She is a dancer, drummer and a singer/songwriter, an academic, educator and a language and cultural advocate.

Grizzlypaws shares that Language holds a vast array of information from thousands of years of culture and how we relate and connect to the land as well as each other. It is a powerful indicator of a tribal group's identity; it is a critical way to maintain links within one's cultural past and present future identity. Language is rooted and connected in the community and the land, and it needs to be taught more naturally, whereas it is not being trained as a subject. Language is more immersed in the Indigenous culture practice, songs, and dance in hunting and storytelling. All these can be related. The interview also discussed what we can do as students and instructors in the educational institutions and how we can move these barriers forward with our identities. Bringing public awareness in how to become an ally is not just learning Indigenous knowledges and walking away; but becoming an ally means becoming involved, educating, sharing, and publicizing and promoting the important values of the Indigenous languages and culture.

Maria Lucas speaks about the importance for educators to know the significance of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP), the words of Pope Francis during the Indigenous delegation's visit to Rome in April 2022, as well as, the forthcoming Papal visit to Canada.

Maria Lucas has been interviewed on numerous occassions but the podcast interview done with Honourable Graydon Nicholas hosted by MP Garnet Genuis is what inspired Frances Maddalozzo to fine tune to Lucas' intercultural and interreligious perspective.
