People use different methods to get a message across or bring critical thinking to the fore. What about a game that combats stereotypes and colonization and the ills connected to them with the flip of a card? In our spotlight this month it’s all about an emerging game that uses humor to literally get difficult issues on the table. “Cards Against Colonialism” by the Native American Teaching Aids is the product of tribal members, elders and educators. They aim to confront some of the toughest disputes over a good old card game. What do you think about this approach to stomping out stereotypes? Is humor your tool to heal from colonization?
Guests:
Avery Old Coyote (Apsaalooke/Salish) – Native scholar and Cards Against Colonialism writer
Rebecca Goff – Co-founder and Executive director of Native Teaching Aids
Break Music: Joy (song) RiverFlowz (artist) RiverFlowz Rural Recordings Atauciq (album)
Very interesting. great to hear the creators of the game talk about why they wanted to create this game. Humor is always a great way to learn! Absolutely love this show.
