The Unlearning Channel Podcast

To inspire critical awareness of white supremacy by challenging, re-contextualizing, & broadening perceptions of race, identity, culture & diaspora.

The unlearning channel was recorded in Mohkinstis (Calgary, Alberta), on Treaty 7 territory, home of the Nitsitapii – the Blackfoot Confederacy which includes the Siksika, Piikani and Kainai nations. We also recoganize the Tsuut’ina Dene, the Stoney îyârhe Nakodabi (Wesley, Chiniki and Bearspaw) and the Metis Nation of Albera, Region III. We are continually learning the true history of Indigenous peoples, our positionalities and responsbilities as arrivants on stolen lands, and unlearning white supremacy culture–one podcast at a time.
