"A big challenge in medical education is that we have zero medical school deans who are American Indian...We're not underrepresented — we're unrepresented", said Dr. Donald Warne, co-director at Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health.

The proposed Indigenous School of Medicine (ISOM), could welcome students as early as 2030 with the aim to provide an environment where students don't have to check their Indigenity at the door, but instead center their education and practice around their culture.

Listen as we visit with Shawn Wilson, a researcher, teacher, and storyteller from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation in northern Canada.

Shawn reminds us that research itself can be ceremony. Now based on Syilx territory in British Columbia, Shawn’s work spans continents — from Turtle Island to Australia — grounded always in relationships and respect for Indigenous knowledge systems. In this conversation, he reflects on what it means to live a life of ceremony, to see the universe as a web of relationships, and to change the world by changing how we relate to one another. We also laugh about “big words” like epistemology and ontology and celebrate his joyful self-proclaimed title: IndigiNerd. For Shawn, research is not just a method — it’s a way of life.
