Jocelyn's Podcast Answer 1

The speaker found a class on indigenous roots to be a rich and eye-opening experience. They connected with the history and experiences of indigenous peoples and learned about the impact of colonialism, particularly the Siksi Scoop and the Millennial Scoop. These policies have had a personal impact on the speaker's life and the lives of those close to them. Well, Ramona, as someone who's reconnecting with my indigenous roots, I can honestly say that this class was a rich and eye-opening experience for me. There wasn't just one thing I found interesting, but if I had to highlight something, it would be how I was able to connect with the history and experiences of indigenous peoples. The course gave me the tools to understand the impact of colonialism in ways I hadn't experienced before, how it's affected generations, including my own family. What really stood out to me was learning about the Siksi Scoop and the Millennial Scoop, and how they have shaped the lives of many indigenous peoples. This is something that hit close to home, especially as an indigenous person, because I saw the impact of these policies not just on history, but in my own life and the lives of those close to me.
