70 conversations. 15 Indigenous communities. 11 words with the power to hurt.
In this first episode, host Kaniehti:io Horn decolonizes the word, 'discovery'.
Christopher Columbus, Jacques Cartier, even Leif Erikson all claimed to have found a 'new' land. But by the time they reached the shores of the Americas, millions of people had already been living here for at least 11,000 years. The Doctrine of Discovery –a papal bull from the 1400's– justified the dispossession and displacement of the First Peoples from their Lands. Together, we’ll explore words that are now helping us to rewrite our history.
Telling our Twisted Histories is a podcast series made by Indigenous people for anyone who wants to start decolonizing their vocabulary – and their histories – one word at a time.
Telling Our Twisted Histories is a Terre Innue and CBC co-production.
