A Student-Driven Podcast for Increased Ojibwe Language, Culture, and History Engagement
The creation of a student podcast series about Red
Lake Ojibwe language, culture and history.
The purpose of this project is to create a
student-driven podcast that will use student voices to disseminate information
and ideas about the Red Lake Ojibwe language, culture, and history to the Red Lake community, Red Lake tribal
members living off the reservation, and the public. The goal is to enhance
student-centered learning and student engagement with the humanities at Red
Lake Nation College. The content of this podcast, while stemming from class
assignments, will be in the voice of our students. The podcast will be a product
of their collective and individual knowledge. It is a way for students to
actively engage in both their humanities education as well as their Red Lake
language, history, and culture. The impact of a student-driven podcast focused
on Ojibwe language, culture, and history would be formidable in terms of
increased student engagement and motivation as well as oral and written
communication skills.
