Podcasts about aboriginal women

Monday morning live with Natasa Denman featuring one of her amazing authors, Davina Woods. Davina Woods was born and raised in Brisbane. Although she always knew she was Aboriginal, it wasn't until the early 2000s that she discovered her Kuku-Djungan ancestry. She attended local schools and achieved a Diploma of Teaching in 1979 from the North Brisbane College of Advanced Education. In 1984, Davina became one of the first five First Nations teachers to join the inaugural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Unit of the Queensland Education Department (QED). As a writer, Davina's first article, "Why Aboriginal Studies," was published in QED's professional journal, QUEST. In 2000, she contributed her first chapter to the book Aboriginal Women by Degrees: Their Stories of the Journey Towards Academic Achievement, edited by Professor Mary Ann Bin-Sallik. This was the first of several book chapters Davina has written and published. In 2006, her poem "Urban Songlines" won the Victorian Indigenous Art Cultural Heritage Award. Over the years, Davina has completed a Bachelor of Education, a Graduate Certificate in Aboriginal Studies, and a Master of Arts, all while working and raising her children. She left QED in 1990 to become the Federal Aboriginal Education Officer of the Australian Education Union, which required moving to Melbourne. In the late 1990s, she worked at a Melbourne university, completed a Graduate Diploma in Tertiary Education, and earned a PhD. The prestigious literary journal Meanjin published her essay “Being Educated,” which recounts her early experiences of racism and the moment she realized her duty to educate non-Indigenous people about the First Peoples of Australia. Following her realization and receiving the Most Outstanding Research Student award for her PhD, she knew she had to fulfill her promise to her family to document their mutual grandfather's story and their legacy of Aboriginality. She has since published a book with the assistance of Ultimate 48 Hour Books, telling the story of her maternal grandfather who, as a child, survived a massacre in 1881. He was then taken in by an Irish couple, for whom he worked until the man died in 1908.

A classic 3 segment TGCTS Podcast is set for your Easter weekend listening! Part 1 - We open Episode 31 with your comments about Nahanni Fontaine's March Madness- and we add a few more issues we didn't mention yet, to the storm of controversy around her and her department. When the NDP froze foster care per diems in 2012, did Fontaine ever tell Greg Selinger it was harming indigenous kids? Of course not, that might have resulted in losing her plum position as "Aboriginal Women's Advisor." And she'd never have gotten the NDP nomination in St. John's. 18:50 Part 2- A brief explanation of the very negative consequences of the NDP regressing to a 1-1 ratio for trades apprentice supervision. Marty Gold explains what will result: less trainees, less trainers, less training, less homebuilding, more costs to you. The NDP-supporting union is happy with that. 24.00- Happyland Park Pool supporters aren't giving up- but a letter to Mayor Gillingham and city council shows how far trust in City Hall has fallen in the neighbourhood. What will Matt Allard do to help their last-ditch fundraising, and to prevent the City from arbitrarily bulldozing the pool while they try to save it? And speaking of St Boniface, Mrs. Mike's on Tache wants to resume operations and was told it could take up to TWO MONTHS for an Occupancy Permit. Maybe Allard doesn't eat burgers, but thousands of Winnipeggers do. We've asked Allard to get things speeded up and not let St. B be treated like the North End of the South End, yet again. 34.00 Newsmaker of the Year Andrew Marquess doesn't trust City Hall either, and why should he? City planners have invented yet another obstacle to approval of his Fulton Grove housing plan- and of all things, Coun. John Orlikow is empaneled to decide on it. 39:55 Part 3 - Crime Courts and Public Safety Update - A Rally for Justice took place last week, and while the Free Press slanted their coverage to fit their narrative, we will be having organizer Mike Vogiatzakis on the podcast in the next few weeks to talk about his cause seeking to abolish catch-and-release policing. - Two business stories: one a move and expansion, the other of business misadventure forcing a sale, with one thing in common- crime is badly affecting their sectors. It's Brian Bowman's legacy, that never gets pinned on him like it should. - 49.35- Councilor Janice Lukes still hasn't responded to our request for an interview but took a moment to compliment the police for handing out speeding tickets on the South Perimeter highway. That's never been done before by city cops because it's a provincial road handled by the RCMP. Predatory speed traps aren't legitimized just because drivers are duped into thinking the ticket was legal- and it's another reason why no one trusts City Councilors to have their backs. Considering the last spate of tickets near there handed out by cops were dropped by the Crown as illegal - as the Designated Construction Zone didn't include the area they were enforcing the extra-penalty citations - we suggest Lukes makes sure these pass the sniff test before handing out the flowers.

Shuttering foster and group homes, parading like a fashionista at the United Nations, holding court for a compliant media after dodging opposition criticism in Question Period - it's a wonder Nahanni Fontaine has found time to get her nails done this month. But the Manitoba Families Minister has set tongues wagging after whining about how her BFF, police chief Danny Smyth, correctly laid the blame at her feet for kids in the care of her department behind a wave of slashing, robbing and mugging innocent people in Winnipeg. Part 1- The matriarch of the radical NDP caucus, Nahanni Fontaine has darted in and out of the headlines in March. The MSM has avoided assessing her race-baiting history, narcissistic self-promotion, and selective moral outrage. In Episode 30, we tie it all into her handling of the Spirit Rising House foster care contracts for 13 facilities, and her drive-by smear of the police chief's concerns about violent youths. 9.00- While the Children's Advocate criticized Spirit Rising for providing pot to kids to keep them away from seeking drugs on the street, she added there's no harm reduction strategy for kids in care, "a systemic failure that will lead to continued long-term harm for children and youth across the province." Despite only 2 of the homes being implicated in the practice, Fontaine decided to order that over 30 kids be pulled from all the homes. 13.05- Parents blasted Fontaine and the NDP for thinking it's ok to hand out drug use kits for meth addicts as "harm reduction" - but dropping the hammer over cannabis. “It's saving my daughter's life and keeping her away from the harder street drugs she was addicted to. I don't have any problem with that... They took her to AA meetings, they did everything — they're teachers, they're parents where the parents aren't, they're therapists.” We examine if Fontaine's agenda to throttle services that save the lives of Level 5 kids is to undermine the owners. 18.00 - Right after Fontaine took an entourage on her role-playing eastern tour, Danny Smyth told the press about terrifying attacks across the city with a common denominator- perps that are wards of Fontaine's department. He said "attention needs to be addressed to the needs of these kids that are in the system." Then, Fontaine came back, obviously flustered. 25:20 Part 2- "Heads-up would've been nice, Fontaine says of chief" wrote the Free Press. And when the Tories blasted her "jet-setting" and social media obsession in Question Period, "Fontaine didn't respond to their questions but agreed to a media interview in her office." She sneered about “pockets” of violent incidents, denied any failure, and expressed no remorse for the traumatized victims of these thugs. Not even for the women. But as you'll hear, Fontaine has a history of picking and choosing which victims she'd help- and if their oppressors were her allies, they'd be talking to the hand. Did she stand by as Aboriginal Women's Advisor when the NDP diverted federal benefits for kids in care, or did she raise her voice? We're within $1300 of our $3800 fundraising goal- help push us over the line at our ⁠⁠Donate page⁠⁠ - it's easier than ever to make a contribution! 39.30- After claiming Smyth's remarks could fuel anti-indigenous racism, Fontaine raised eyebrows with a comment about Smyth having her personal cel number. While Premier Kinew called her an "inspiration", a rally at the Legislature by kids being forced to move before Easter after thriving with Spirit Rising House foster parents and guardians, had a different view of Fontaine's edict. Marty Gold reviews past occasions, such as when staff and clients from the Native Women's Transition Centre begged Fontaine for help dealing with a well-connected director engineering a toxic workplace, and Fontaine refused to stand with those in need. She gets no real analysis or criticism from the Winnipeg media, but those that deal with Nahanni Fontaine have learned she's no inspiration.

Compassion continues Julie Janson's emotional and intense literary exploration of the complex and dangerous lives of Aboriginal women during the 1800s in colonial New South Wales, which she began in Benevolence as a counter narrative to colonial history in Australian literature. Compassion is the dramatised life story of one of Julie Janson's ancestors who went on trial for stealing livestock in New South Wales, and it is an exciting and violent story of anti-colonial revenge and roaming adventure. A gripping fictive account of Aboriginal life in the 1800s, Compassion follows the life of Duringah, AKA Nell James, the outlaw daughter of the Darug hero of Benevolence, Muraging.In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Julie Janson about shaping the character of her ancestor Duringah, and charting her exploits as “the wild native thief”, and how juxtaposing the natural and spiritual worlds of the Darug nation with the terrible reality of life during colonial times illuminates the rich shared history of New South Wales.

Research led by University of South Australia PhD candidate Katharine McBride has found what makes the heart strong for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Did you know, the life expectancy of Aboriginal women is 75.6 years, compared to 83.4 years for non-Aboriginal women?According to McBride’s paper, ‘Good Heart: Telling Stories of Cardiovascular Protective and Risk Factors for Aboriginal Women’, the current approach to heart health is not working because the model of care fails to meet Aboriginal women’s cultural needs.Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for Aboriginal women and McBride's study explains what changes are needed to meet the 2031 Closing the Gap target.Anna Dowling, a Yamatji Badimia woman and Research Assistant at South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, is a member of the advisory group who worked on the study. The advisory group agreed that Aboriginal women’s voices need to be prioritised to understand what protects the heart and puts it at risk.

In episode five, it's an honor and privilege to bring you the interview with Michelle Deshong. Michelle is a North Queensland woman drawing her cultural connections from Kuku Yalanji clan.

Michelle is passionate about ensuring that Aboriginal women have a voice in both political and public life."I could see very clearly that it was easy to make me invisible, and so I guess really if I had to say, it's about making sure that we are visible. And then as I got more involved in the political spaces, not only visible, but we are recognized, respected, and have fair and equitable access to things." - Michelle Deshong

I think when most people imagine a firefighter they picture a man. Women, it would seem, are still trying to shake the stigma of historical gender roles. Across the colonized world these gender roles have created a mold through which we all perceive and think about our world. Vanessa is trying to break that mold. Through her own life experiences climbing the ladder of the western fire model, as well as through her research, Vanessa has great perspective and insight into the importance of women in cultural fire.

In an all-new episode of Curtain The Podcast, Hosts Amy McQuire and Martin Hodgson discuss the way the police and the justice system treat Aboriginal Women, on the day a 29-year-old Yamatji woman and Mother was shot dead by police. From the 29 years of racist inaction by authorities following the disappearance of Colleen Walker, to the death in custody of Ms Maher and the horrific treatment of Jody Gore currently in a prison in WA for defeneding herself, Australian society has the blood of Aboriginal Women on its hands!

On tonight's show, Maureen opens up by speaking with Mandy Shintani, Registered OT and gerontologist, about Nordic walking, or Poling, and the benefits behind it. We also talk to Amy Matthias, founder of Safe Rides for Aboriginal Women, an organization that seeks to help provide safe rides home for some of society's most vulnerable. Finally, we speak to Vancouver's UTI Girl, Lexie Fei about her experiences with a UTI and interstitial cystitis, and how it almost drove her to end her life.

In these remote islands we uncover a history of whalers, abducted Aboriginal women, and a mysterious human skeleton found on Franklin Island. There's even a connection to Gulliver's Travels.

In Episode 31, I keep the focus on the national crisis of genocide against Indigenous women and girls. To my mind, it is important to make this THE election issue amongst all political parties.

Pamela Palmater's Reconciliation Book Club successfully launched with the first book club event last Saturday. The book club is her way to help people learn about reconciliation and Canada's First Nations in a safe and supportive space. To date, it has received almost 1,000 views and over 60 comments online, so it seems to have hit the right notes. The first book she chose was Whose Land is it Anyway: A Manual for Decolonization published by the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators in B.C.  It is available for free download by clicking the link above.  Here at rabble, we really like this idea and we've done some stories about it in the last couple of weeks. We were all curious about how it went, and her plans for future editions so Victoria Fenner, rabble's podcast exec producer gave her a call. Pam says it went very well, and yes, she plans to do more. Victoria talked to her on Tuesday of this week, two days ago. Pam Palmater is a Mi'kmaw lawyer and member of the Eel River Bar First Nation in New Brunswick. She teaches Indigenous law, politics and governance at Ryerson University and heads their Centre for Indigenous Governance. She also has a blog on rabble.ca. The next book for the Reconciliation Book Club review will be Karen Stote's An Act of Genocide: Colonialism and the Sterilization of Aboriginal Women published by Fernwood Publishing.  Image and audio clip: Pamela Palmater.

Marisa and Tyrone discussed the Victorian Charter of Human rights and Responsibility, and how this pertains to the violation of human rights of written communication. Tyrone also talked about the traumatic effects that the  banning is having on First Nations people, and Transgender communities. He talked about  general issues in regards to all prisoners. An event was also advertised for the 10 of May, about racialised communities, organised by the Federation. Marisa then spoke with Pauline Klagu, first Nations woman, academic and artist about a very special event coming up this month, during Reconciliation Week.

In an activist application of her scholarly discipline, Dr Liz Conor's Skin Deep: Settler Impressions of Aboriginal Women (UWA Publishing, 2016) acknowledges its dual potential to disturb and to incite a reckoning – giving life to Audre Lorde's famous quote that the learning process is something to be incited, like a riot. Using travelogues, cartoon strips, missionary diaries, paintings and lithographs, just to name a few, Dr. Conor's consultation of a vast colonial archive challenges the amnesia in our national record and, accordingly, the racism and misogyny of our cultural imaginary. Recreating the settler-colonial imaginary and the tropes and stereotypes it projected in the imperial enterprise of knowledge production about Aboriginal women, Skin Deep exposes the interlocking oppressions of gender and race that manifested in the 18th, 19th and 20th century. From the innocent native-belle, to the beaten captive bride, the cannibalistic mother to the bare-footed domestic worker, the sexualised metonym of the virginal land to the unsightly, malevolent matriarch, the Aboriginal women was reduced by the settler to a canvas – recklessly painted with the ideologies, expectations and ambitions of the empire – making the Aboriginal women devastatingly skin-deep. Taylor Fox-Smith is teaching gender studies at Macquarie University and researching the gender gap in political behaviour and psychology at the United States Studies Centre in Sydney, Australia. Having received a Bachelor of International and Global Studies with first class Honours in American Studies at the University of Sydney, Taylor was awarded the American Studies Best Thesis Award for her work titled The Lemonade Nexus. The thesis uses the theme of marital infidelity in Beyonce's 2016 visual album Lemonade as a popular cultural narrative of institutional betrayal, and parallels it with police brutality in Baltimore city. It argues that the album provides an alternative model of political formation which can help to understand redemption in the wake of an urban uprising. Rewriting the traditional protest to politics narrative with an iterative nexus named after the album, Taylor's research continues to straddle political science, gender studies and popular culture.

Yes, some of our leaders, some of our old people and others on our communities want us to be quiet about life on our social and geographical reserves. They want us to be silent and if we are not we are not family. But your silence deadened me gram. This is about love and anger. This is about sadness and joy.
