Chapter 7: Making Space for Indigenous Knowledges in an Urban Childcare Centre by Maya-Rose Simon For this question I have offered a few videos of Indigenous scholars, educators, and artists who speak to some of the ideas that Maya-Rose Simon discusses in her chapter and whom she also references.
The first two videos by Dr. Susan Dion address her concept of the “perfect stranger” and idea that Simon takes up in her chapter in relation to non-Indigenous educators.
The third video features Leanne Betasamosake Simpson discussing ideas from her book “Dancing on our Turtle’s Back” and who Maya-Rose Simon refers to in her chapter as well. Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, musician, author and poet.
