Episode 1: Introducing Books are Good Medicine

Welcome to Books are Good Medicine, a new podcast exploring books and other K-12 teaching resources on the Native American experience. For many Indigenous communities, storytelling has been and is a critical component of cultural identity and healing for generations. Meet hosts Allison Waukau and Odia Wood-Krueger, who share how reading offers a form of good medicine, as books have the power to inspire, inform and empower students as they discover the world around them. They also share resources for educators who are looking to incorporate reliable information on Native topics into their curriculum. This podcast is sponsored by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and produced by Goff Public. Our theme music is “Stomp Dance”by Bluedog.
