Mad lib/Build your own Poem with The Noble Savage

 

This week, please join host, Heather O’Watch and presenter, Austin Ahenakew. He would like to involve the listening audience by ‘being directed through a simplified version of one of my poems and filling in the blanks. After some example poems, you will fill in words related to the photos I display. Together we will create a storyline poem on the topic of Residential schools.'

Austin "The Noble Savage" Ahenakew has a unique style that weaves rhythm into storytelling and announces an urgent truth from the perspective of Indigenous youth. Bringing an unapologetic approach to Indigenous struggles, abuse, PTSD and how skin colour is viewed.  He brings sweet words to the stage without sugarcoating any part of the truth.
