Listen "Jarvis Googoo on elders, teaching and learning"
Episode Synopsis
June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. According to the government website, it is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Jarvis Googoo has taken to his social media account this month to share his knowledge about Indigenous History. A year ago, he was struggling with the idea of "celebrating" Canada Day given the discovery of unmarked graves at the site of former Residential schools. Googoo was a day student at one of those schools. And he was troubled by the unwillingness of the parties involved to accept responsibility for what had happened. We discuss the role of elders in education, how he views himself as a member of that community and with his thoughts on treaty education in schools and on social media.
