The Future of Indigenous Voices in America

Editor’s Note: “Podcast America” focused on telling about America’s past and present through listening to and creating podcasts. One of the central goals was to examine how students can include more varied identities in the stories we tell about America, especially in terms of race, class, gender, and sexuality. The class explored different topics and narrative forms by listening to a wide variety of podcasts, from This American Life and 1619 to This Day in Esoteric Political History and 99% Invisible. For the midterm and final exam, students drew on what they learned from listening assignments, research papers, guest speakers, and group discussions to create their own podcast episodes. We have chosen to include the creator’s midterm and final podcasts to provide context and demonstrate growth. Access this item at the related resource link below.
