This video talks about indigenous knowledge

For thousands of years indigenous people have been passing their unique knowledge and connections with the land to younger generations through a variety of mediums, such as storytelling, music, art and language. The sharing of knowledge is not always linear (or prompt) and requires a level of active listening in even the most organic conversations. Join a conversation with Connor Ryan (Proud Hunkpapa Lakota & Passionate Skier) and Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Founder, Host & Executive Producer of “First Voices Radio”) as they navigate indigenous knowledge, discuss how we all can best honor it, and ensure the transfer continues for generations to come.
