“Legislative Reconciliation is Governments using legislative powers for good and not bad. The Indian Act, you might say, was the government using its powers for bad, for a very long time.” -Prof. MetallicProfessor Naiomi Metallic, divides her time between practice and teaching at Dalhousie University's Schulich School of Law where she holds the Chancellor's Chair in Aboriginal Law and Policy. She was part of the legal team that intervened on behalf of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society led by Cindy Blackstock, a longtime advocate for child welfare and Indigenous children's rights. The SCC referenced Prof. Metallic's article, Aboriginal Rights, Legislative Reconciliation and Constitutionalism (dal.ca) , in their Reference re An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families, and she is this year's winner of the CBA's Ramon John Hnatyshyn Award for Law.Also mentioned in this episode: Supreme Court of Canada - SCC Case Information - Summary - 40619 (scc-csc.ca)Judicial Workbook on Bill C-92 — An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis Children, Youth and Families (dal.ca)Supreme Court of Canada - SCC Case Information - Parties - 39856 (scc-csc.ca)Braiding Legal Orders | McGill-Queen's University Press (mqup.ca)We highly recommend The Path: Canadian Bar Association - Understanding the Truth and Engaging in Reconciliation (cba.org)Reach out to us anytime at podcasts@cba.org

Sandy Thorne is a lifelong promoter of outback culture and she's just released her 15th book. It's called 'My Mate Gidgee: An Outback Story of Hard Yakka and Humour', and it's been shaped by Sandy's own experiences.

Many of the solutions for preventing rapid climate change, and tackling its adverse effects, exist within Indigenous cultures and practices. For decades, they've been routinely dismissed and ignored. Now that there is an increased urgency, this ancient wisdom is being commercialised - repackaged for sale without acknowledgement of where it originated. In this episode, we give this process a name: Recuperation. And we explore what happens when radical ideas are adopted and diluted by mainstream culture. To do this, we're chatting to two organisations that celebrate the contributions of Ancient and Indigenous cultures, create authentic spaces for learning and give a platform to marginalised voices. ---------- Learn - what is recuperation?

In our last episode of 2021 Jussy tells a story very close to her heart. It is the story of Aunty Oodgeroo Noonuccal.  Oodgeroo was an Aboriginal rights activist, poet, veteran, environmentalist and educator. She was previously known and is often referred to as Kath Walker (her birth name). However, in 1987 she adopted the name Oodgeroo (meaning 'paperbark tree') Noonuccal as part of a protest against the upcoming 1988 bicentennial celebrations.  You can't help but love her story! Jussy recommended the brand new clothing label ‘Field' which is launching today and Chole's recommendations were the podcasts ‘The Drop Out' and ‘Mediocre'.  We also gave a cheeky shout out to the ‘Uluru Statement' episode of the podcast ‘So Tell Me' ~ which is where Jussy and Chole first connected.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year legends. See you in 2022! 

From 4ZZZ in Brisbane, Nic Huntington takes us on a journey filled with mystery and conspiracy, as we head to Dijaki Kundu. Supervising production from Anthony Frangi. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network. Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series. It's always daunting walking into any space where you don't know anybody. Despite being a journalist for a quarter of my life, I still struggle with this, no matter how many emails I've sent. For hours I awkwardly felt out the energy at Djaki Kundu with a roaring fire, camp chairs, and a bowl of delicious soup in front of me as the stars set. On hour 6 of an overnight trip, I started to think this whole story might have been a mistake, stumbling through awkward introductions to the constantly expanding roster of characters.  But when I awoke in the morning to a welcoming "I like this fella, he has a trustworthy energy about him" I knew the story was going to turn out.  This story was a story of many visits similar to this, feeling my way through awkward reintroductions before finally understanding when the time was right to record. I never could get Wit-Boooka to feel comfortable around a Shure SM58, but I can live with that. Special Thanks Rhianna Patrick Diane Djaki Widjung Wit-Boooka Credits “Little Things” feat.

A Gangulu elder, Mick was Co-Commissioner of the high profile Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory. Mick's fierce advocacy for young people is due in part to a sliding doors moment in his teens (CW: Discussion of suicide.  And for ATSI listeners please be advised this conversation contains the names of people who have died.  Take care when listening.)

Fact or fiction? The Palestinians are descendants of the Canaanites and have aboriginal rights to Palestine, modern day Israel? Let's talk about it on today's episode of the podcast.

This conversation was recorded before the May 29th news release that 215 Indigenous children were discovered buried outside the old Kamloops Residential School. This school is located on Sunny's traditional territory. This tragic reminder of Canada's past and present racist policies is a wake-up call and a call to action. For many Canadians, this is the first they have learned of the shocking practices of our country and the church. I hope this conversation furthers your learning and inspires you to learn more. Thank you for your courage to be here and listen. What is reconciliation?  I can't think of a better time to ask this question and listen for the answers. In this circle, we are joined by Sunny LeBourdais of the Pellt'iqt te Secwepemc Nation and Qwastanaya (L.Maynard Harry) of the Tla'amin Nation to hear the stories of their communities, the brave leadership work they are doing, and the hopes for the future. What I have learned about reconciliation is that it must start with the truth. In this conversation, you will hear the truth in very clear and direct ways. This experience is both an education and a call to action. Please take care of yourself as you listen in, and know that by letting these words soak in and change you, you can make a difference. What's in this episode for you: 9:55 - An opening passage by Richard Wagamese 11:40 - Be inspired by learning about these courageous leaders and the change they are making in their communities 19:35 - A better understanding of what is needed to create real change in Indigenous communities and the role of leadership in that transformation 27:08 - A way to reframe the concept of governance in a way that decreases conflict and division 29:15 - How intergenerational trauma interferes with the ability to deal with conflict and why social media is contributing to divisiveness 35:30 - How non-Indigenous people can support healing and understanding by doing their homework 39:40 - Why Canada is one of the most racist countries in the world and a call to action to change our systems 48:15 - Some tangible and actionable definitions of what reconciliation means and what it does not mean 1:03:45 - Hope for the future and the new leaders that are bringing reconciliation to life Poem: Excerpt from Embers, by Richard Wagamese: Unity cannot exist when exclusion is allowed to occur. I was graced with this teaching years ago, when I was working as a traditional elder's helper. The teaching was given in the context of the sacred pipe, but its intention was to help me understand community. What brings us together cannot exist in the same time and place as what keeps us apart. You. Me. Everyone. My choice is to be aware of our similarities: our yearning for truth, peace, love, belonging, welcome, grace, mercy, a god of our own understanding and at least one moment of real contact at the heart of every day. Seeing that, I am made more, included, extended and in harmony…until that moment when I no longer see. Who's in circle with us: Qwastånayå (L. Maynard Harry) is a former Chief Councillor of Tla'amin Nation, where he served 4 terms as councilor. He is the Primary Signatory on the 2003 Community Accord (Tla'amin Nation/City of Powell River), and recipient of Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal and Freedom of the City from the City of Powell River. He is the Manager of, Aboriginal Rights and Title Department for the Tla'amin Nation and a partner with Advanced Business Match. Maynard is also a student bag-piper. www.indigenousinsight.ca Sunny LeBourdais is a member of the Pellt'iqt te Secwepemc Nation (Whispering Pines/Clinton Band of the Shuswap Nation). She believes our greatest strength comes from helping each other, as declared by the Chiefs of the Interior to Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1910: “These people wish to be partners with us in our country . . . we will help each other to be great and good.” Sunny has managed and coordinated businesses and projects for the Okanagan, Ktunaxa, and Secwepemc Nations. She facilitates community-based development of strategies and decision-making processes that respect the inherent responsibility to manage activities on traditional territories. She is currently the Director of Transformation for the Qwelmínte Secwepemc Government to Government LOC where she strives to effect change through the development of collaborative inter-jurisdictional processes that give due recognition to Secwepemc laws, traditions, customs and land tenure systems. www.qwelminte.ca/our-team Learn more: Tla'amin Nation and City of Powell River Community Accord Pick up the talking piece:  What came up for you as you listened to this episode?

Lawyer Belinda (Binnie) O'Dwyer was born in Hastings, and now lives in New South Wales where she works for the Aboriginal Legal Service (ALS). A former environmental activist, she's trying to combat the disproportionately high incarceration rates of Australia's Aboriginal population. In some areas Indigenous people are twice as likely to be sentenced to jail as non-Indigenous offenders.

Former Saskatchewan Premier Roy Romanow discusses the critical role of the Alan Blakney government in putting section 35 -- treaty and aboriginal rights -- into Canada's constitution during the 1980s.

In this episode, Howard Kislowicz, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Calgary Faculty of Law, discusses his article "Recontextualizing Ktunaxa Nation v. British Columbia: Crown Land, History and Indigenous Religious Freedom," which was co-authored with Senwung Luk and published in the Supreme Court Law Review. Kislowicz begins by explaining the source of protection of religious freedom under the Canadian Constitution, and how the Supreme Court of Canada has interpreted and applied constitutional protections of religion. He describes the recent Ktunaxa Nation case, in which the Supreme Court rejected an aboriginal religious freedom claim on novel grounds. He observes that the basis for the Supreme Court opinion fails to account for the history and circumstances of aboriginal Canadians. And he speculates on how the issue may develop in the future. Kislowicz is on Twitter at @HowieKislowicz.The stinger for this episode is Kislowicz's band Shoulders performing "Spectacular Failure" from What Does it Eat (2018).This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Associate Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As a rule, Aboriginal Rights are the rights of Indigenous people to carry on with their traditional and ancestral customs of hunting, fishing, trapping, feasting and holding religious ceremonies. They stem in part from Indigenous occupation of lands prior to European contact and assertions of sovereignty. Aboriginal rights also flow from the many treaties that Indigenous leaders signed with the Crown over the last few centuries, which are matters of contract law—sacred contract law. Through these treaties the Crown acquired a great deal of land from Indigenous signatories, who received remuneration and rights. Insofar as Indigenous signatories entered into these contracts voluntarily and in an enlightened manner, the Crown lawfully acquired the land on which most Canadian homes are built. Aboriginal land claims arise in BC primarily because provincial lawyers cannot produce the land transfer deeds needed to prove that the Crown lawfully acquired land on which it has built cities and townships over the last two centuries. Aboriginal rights flow from the Rule of Law, a notion to which the Canadian constitution ascribes, and they should require no justification to anyone. Federal and provincial governments must justify their intrusions into the customary ways of Indigenous people, simply because one society may not lawfully intrude upon the peaceful affairs of another society, including First Nations societies, without justification. This Rule of Law was not respected during the Age of Empire and much earlier, but since the late twentieth century the Canadian legal system has purported to take it seriously. In 1982 Canada's constitution affirmed and recognized existing Aboriginal rights. In theory, therefore, Aboriginal rights are entirely reconcilable with Canadian law because they are a constituent part of a legal system that should be internally reconcilable. However, one sense in which Aboriginal rights can be said to be irreconcilable with Canadian law is that, from the perspective of Indigenous peoples, a foreign political-legal entity (such as Parliament) has never had a legal right to govern any aspect of their lives without their consent. When legal recognition of certain Aboriginal rights seems irreconcilable with Canadian law from the perspective of non-Indigenous Canadians, as it does from time to time, the source of the ‘problem' is usually that past governments built their non-Indigenous constituents' lives on insecure legal foundations vis-à-vis the rights of Indigenous peoples. Courts are expected to right these past legal wrongs. Recently an Ontario court held the Crown accountable for treaty-based annuities it had not paid the Anishinaabe since 1876. This century courts will continue to resolve Aboriginal Rights claims in ways that will not satisfy all Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada, such is the very nature of adjudicating conflict. But this fact does not make Aboriginal Rights and Canadian law irreconcilable. Rather, the legal hope and expectation of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada is to diminish conflict lawfully and peaceably, so that everyone can eventually live contentedly side-by-side, each society's system of self-governance paying equal and practical respect to the other's system. Such an ideal is reflected in the concept of Treaty Federalism. Speaker: Dr. Christopher Nowlin Dr. Nowlin was born in Lethbridge. He received his M.A. in Philosophy from Brock University in 1987 and his Ph.D in criminology from Simon Fraser University (SFU) in 1998. He has taught Canadian law and Aboriginal law at SFU. Presently he teaches Canadian law and Canadian Aboriginal law at Langara College in Vancouver. Dr. Nowlin has represented clients at all levels of court in BC, in Alberta, as well as at the Supreme Court of Canada.

As a rule, Aboriginal Rights are the rights of Indigenous people to carry on with their traditional and ancestral customs of hunting, fishing, trapping, feasting and holding religious ceremonies. They stem in part from Indigenous occupation of lands prior to European contact and assertions of sovereignty. Aboriginal rights also flow from the many treaties that Indigenous leaders signed with the Crown over the last few centuries, which are matters of contract law—sacred contract law. Through these treaties the Crown acquired a great deal of land from Indigenous signatories, who received remuneration and rights. Insofar as Indigenous signatories entered into these contracts voluntarily and in an enlightened manner, the Crown lawfully acquired the land on which most Canadian homes are built. Aboriginal land claims arise in BC primarily because provincial lawyers cannot produce the land transfer deeds needed to prove that the Crown lawfully acquired land on which it has built cities and townships over the last two centuries. Aboriginal rights flow from the Rule of Law, a notion to which the Canadian constitution ascribes, and they should require no justification to anyone. Federal and provincial governments must justify their intrusions into the customary ways of Indigenous people, simply because one society may not lawfully intrude upon the peaceful affairs of another society, including First Nations societies, without justification. This Rule of Law was not respected during the Age of Empire and much earlier, but since the late twentieth century the Canadian legal system has purported to take it seriously. In 1982 Canada's constitution affirmed and recognized existing Aboriginal rights. In theory, therefore, Aboriginal rights are entirely reconcilable with Canadian law because they are a constituent part of a legal system that should be internally reconcilable. However, one sense in which Aboriginal rights can be said to be irreconcilable with Canadian law is that, from the perspective of Indigenous peoples, a foreign political-legal entity (such as Parliament) has never had a legal right to govern any aspect of their lives without their consent. When legal recognition of certain Aboriginal rights seems irreconcilable with Canadian law from the perspective of non-Indigenous Canadians, as it does from time to time, the source of the ‘problem' is usually that past governments built their non-Indigenous constituents' lives on insecure legal foundations vis-à-vis the rights of Indigenous peoples.

The Dzawada'enuxw First Nation has filed suits against the Provincial Government (2 suits) and the Federal Government for allowing 10 aquaculture farms in their area that they say infringe on their Aboriginal Rights.  The First Nation fishes for eulachon and Pacific Wild Salmon to trade with other Indigenous tribes in the area for goods. The farms will harm an already declining populations of both wild species upon which they depend.  Take a listen and share your thoughts in the Facebook Group: http://www.speakupforblue.com/group Want to get started on living for a better Ocean?

This week Assistant Minister for Children & Families David Gillespie said laws should change to allow Indigenous children to be placed with non-Indigenous families for their own protection. Actor Rarriwuy Hick says this suggestion is ill-informed and ignorant to the ties of country and family. She and her father are currently the carers for her two young nephews. She explains what his comments (and the notorious Sunrise discussion that followed) mean to her.

Marc (hat immer noch kein PhD) stellt das Paper "Animal Rights and Aboriginal Rights" vor, wo es um Tierrechte und Eingeborenenrechte in Kanada geht und wie beide Rechte miteinander konkurrieren. Anschließend lässt sich David über den Sinn und Unsinn des Mondkalenders und die vermeintlichen Einflüsse des Trabanten auf den Menschen aus. Was der Minority Safe Pack ist, warum es wichtig diesen zu unterschreiben und wie ihr mitmachen könnt, erzählt euch Marc. Im Tweet der Woche geht es um einen ziemlich bekannten Adler. Und selbstverständlich war nicht gerade der Herz-Jesu-Sonntag, sondern die Andreas-Hofer-Feierlichkeiten. David bittet vielmals um Entschuldigung! Der logische Trugschluss der Woche ist das "Galileo Gambit". Und es wird natürlich wieder "Handwerksbier" getrunken. In diesem Fall "Sweet Dreams" des Trentiner Birrificio Fon (nicht On, es war tatsächlich ein F).

Remembering one of the giants of the Indigenous rights movement in Australia, Uncle Sol Bellear

For some Australians, January 26th is a day to be proud of our national achievements. But our history when it comes to Indigenous Australians, is far from something to be proud of. Katie Beckett is an Indigenous playwright, actor and Mum. She believes honesty that is age appropriate is the best way to create understanding and acceptance for the next generation.

Aunty Joy Murphy AO is a mother and grandmother, and the Senior Aboriginal Elder of the Wurundjeri People of Melbourne and surrounds. She teamed up with illustrator Lisa Kennedy to bring the book Welcome To Country to life. Aunty Joy speaks about why this book for kids is so important, and what gives her strength.

Born in 1915, Aboriginal activist Shirley Andrews studied science at the University of Melbourne in the 1930s before going onto work for the Council of Scientific Research, the precursor of the CSIRO. She was a staunch political activist and member of the Communist Party – this caused some tensions and led to her resignation in 1951. A year later she became a senior biochemist at the Royal Park Psychiatric Hospital and remained there until her retirement in 1977. During this time, she was an executive member of the Council for Aboriginal Rights, where she campaigned for Indigenous people to be recognised in the Australia Constitution via the 1967 referendum. Andrews was also a practitioner and historian of Australian folk dance. She was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in 1994 for her contributions to this field. Andrews died in 2001. For more information on Andrews, Campus Review would like to point our readers to her Wikipedia page. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t exist. In fact, according to Wikipedia’s own statistics, only 16 per cent of the online encyclopaedia’s articles are about women.
