Indigenous Exploration Podcast “Living conditions”

Welcome to our living conditions podcast, this podcast was made by Sonali, Selina and Kajal. Our topic was living conditions, but since living conditions falls under a big umbrella we slimmed it down to water conditions and access to proper educati0n.

My experiences while making this assignment was being able to work with people i get along well with. I also had some past experience in 7th grade with Audacity. This made my experience a lot easier since i already knew the basics. I got to communicate with them to create our podcast. I also used a mic for the first time! During the beginning of our podcast, we did research, collected information and used the current knowledge we knew. Then we assigned each other certain parts to connect that research and write a mini paragraph, we uploaded all parts into a word document and color coded it. Purple was mine, blue was Selina’s and green was Kajal’s. That follows up to the final stages and we recorded 90% of the script in 1 day, the next day i got sick so they completed the podcast without me. But all they did was the final recording piece and added background music. During this time i learned that multiple reserves have been on a water boil advisories for 25+ years. That honestly shocked me, 25 years is crazy. The government also postponed the water boil advisory to 2026.

Core competency: Communication

I tied in communication with my learning because i would communicate my ideas to my group and they would give me their perspective of the idea. This helped me learn and have an understanding in another point of view which really helped with my research and ideas.
