Podcast Reflection
While doing this podcast it made me more aware of the issues surrounding first nations health. We should be discussing about the importance of advocating for better access for healthcare, therapy, cleaner water, better living conditions, cheaper and more food, etc. I noticed how important it is to recognize the struggles and work toward achieving health and equality for all. We need to raise more awareness for indigenous mental health because it will make a positive change. Many first nations don’t have the help they need with not only physical health but also mental health and that can lead to many downfalls on everyone in the first nations community. I think we should also be supporting more of their culture and listening to their experiences and perspectives. Education is a big role too, so promoting an inclusive acceptable society will create better outcomes for everyone. I think me and Marina work very well together. Using the websites that the librarian gave us really helped with our research. I used creative thinking while doing this project because I’ve learnt about first nations pretty much every year of my life so I know lots already. I also really enjoy doing podcasts better than writing so this was fun for me. In conclusion I think we need to focus on this topic more and not take the things we may think are little for granted because they are a big thing for others.
