To listen to INDIGENOUS 150+ on your smart speaker, just say ‘Listen to INDIGENOUS 150+’ to your smart speaker of choice.
Welcome to the Indigenous 150+ podcast series
The Indigenous150+ Youth Ambassador program brought together 21 young adults from across the country, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to learn how to moderate cross cultural conversations and basic podcasting skills.
Through the training programme they learned protocols for working with Indigenous communities, how to recognize and address harmful stereotypes, all the while mastering audio recording, editing and storytelling skills.
Together they have created over 40 episodes, hosting conversations with knowledge keepers, community leaders, artists and influencers who share their stories.
Join us in celebrating Indigenous voices and addressing harmful stereotypes.
We invite you to listen AND if you like what you hear… we invite you to share!!
