Sounds Like Land is a podcast series that dives into discussions about Indigenous languages, plants, medicines, gardens, and land. The project aims to foster conversations about language learning and revitalization, as well as share experiences on the land, with medicinal plants, and in Indigenous gardens.

We are developing this podcast through a collaboration of Indigenous students, researchers, artists, storytellers, and sound professionals. Along the podcast’s seven episodes, we will be immersed in conversations and consultations with Language Speakers and Knowledge Holders from diverse Indigenous communities.

WHERE

Each podcast episode will be rooted in a particular region and will be steered by a different Regional Host. This season focuses on communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and virtual spaces.
