#70 - Jasmyn Albert on the impact of residential schools, intergenerational trauma, being bullied and growing up ashamed of being Indigenous to embracing her Cree culture and passing on her heritage.
In today's episode, we sit down with Jasmyn Albert, an inspiring Plains Cree, Métis settler, and dedicated educator passionate about preserving Indigenous traditions. She opens up about her journey, from facing adversity at a young age, shouldering responsibility for her siblings due to family struggles, to enduring the harsh reality of being bullied for her Indigenous heritage. Jasmyn bravely shares her path to overcoming shame, advocating for Indigenous representation, and embracing her rich Cree culture.
We delve into her advocacy work and the significant role Indigenous parents played in founding the Native Survival School, now known as Oskāyak High School, as a response to the struggles Indigenous children faced. Through heart-wrenching accounts, we confront the harsh impact of intergenerational trauma and the legacy of residential schools that disconnected Indigenous communities from their culture.
Jasmyn's story is a powerful testament to resilience and strength. She sheds light on the importance of reclaiming traditions like kinship systems, ceremonies, and gathering medicinal plants as a means to heal and reconnect with heritage. She passionately advocates for learning the history of the land we live on, fostering understanding, and addressing misconceptions about Indigenous cultures. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation brimming with wisdom, history, and a call to action to honour and preserve Indigenous heritage.
