If you are still in school, you surely don't have any time to listen to podcasts (or do much of anything at all but try to survive the crazy days before summer break). In fact, I'm surprised you are reading this email at all!
But if you are looking for a couple of good podcasts for your next road trip or to listen to while cleaning the house, here are a couple I recently finished and highly recommend.
So glad I decided to write this post because it took me to the This Land website where I learned that there's a Season 2 and a Season 3 coming in August.
My colleague Melissa Hibbard highly recommends Season 2, which dives into efforts to dismantle the Indian Child Welfare Act and thinks that it could be incorporated into high school government.
I listened to the eight episodes of Season 1 (created in 2019 and 2020), and thought they were excellent. The season focused on how a murder in Oklahoma raised questions about whether the continuing existence of Muskogee Reservation. It talks about Native Land rights, allotment, and other topics relevant to Montana.
This was a recent episode of This American Life focused on a hit and run on the Flathead Reservation and the MMIW crisis. There's a bleeped version if you want to share this with students.
Happy listening!
