For our podcast we decided to share a story of a residential school survivor. The residential school survivor that we chose to make this podcast about is Sam George. Sam George is from British Columbia, and he attended St Paul’s Indian Residential school. Today, we will be be discussing his experience throughout the residential school system. We discuss his life during residential school, after he left, and at this current point. To make our podcast, we decided to use the app iMovie to record and edit. Then we used the Blue Snowball microphones provided by Vancity to ensure the best sound quality for our podcast. The music featured in our podcast, is sourced the free music from the site www.bensound.com, we used “Tomorrow” by Benjamin Tissot. After we finished putting it together, we realized how important it is to share George’s story. His story is just one of many survivors that went through this system. It was a great to get to know his story, and we learned a lot in the process. Not only learning about what he went through, but also to understand and empathize with the countless other indigenous people that went through what Sam George did.
