A team of indigenous youth aged 18 to 30, write, produce and host Love, Land and Spirit, a six-part podcast series launched by the Residential School History and Dialogue Center at the University of British Columbia in Canada. The podcast connects indigenous youth and Knowledge Keepers to discuss all things from art and ceremony, Indigiqueer identities, to child welfare and education systems. The project was designed by the center's community outreach coordinator, Jess Boon, as the center was pushed to act creatively to engage the community during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Academic director, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond said, Not only does this project build capacity and empower Indigenous youth, it also helps build stronger UBC-community relationships and provides an opportunity for deeper understanding amongst staff, students and faculty as we strive to realize UBC's vision and commitments to building respectful relationships with Indigenous people.
