The Legacy of Hope Foundation is pleased to announce the release of the final episode in our 8-part podcast series on the Federal Indian Day School System with Blackfoot scholar Apooyak’ii, Dr. Tiffany Prete. Dr. Prete is a member of the Kainai (Blood) Tribe, Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Lethbridge and the Canadian Research Chair in Indigenous Resiliency. In this final episode of the Day School Series project, Dr. Prete sheds light on Canada’s broader colonial education project, the ways systemic racism in the schooling system continues to impact achievement gaps for Indigenous youth (including the negative messaging she received from teachers as a student), her ongoing work on Call to Action 78, and the honour she feels in being able to carry out this research and work for her community.
This series on the Federal Day School System is made possible with funding support from the Indigenous Screen Office. For more information about the Legacy of Hope Foundation, plase visit: legacyofhope.ca
