Bob Joseph, author of Donner Prize-shortlisted book 21 Things You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government, discusses his vision for dismantling the Indian Act while preserving the Crown's fiduciary duty to Indigenous Peoples. He explains how self-government agreements offer a path forward, drawing on examples like the Nisga'a treaty. Joseph addresses contentious issues around Aboriginal title in British Columbia, the duty to consult, and why working within Canada's constitutional framework—rather than abandoning it—remains essential for reconciliation and economic certainty.This episode is presented in partnership with the Donner Canadian Foundation.The Hub is Canada's fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaSubscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify) Want more Hub?

150 years ago this month, the Indian Act became law — a sweeping piece of legislation that governed almost every aspect of First Nations' lives — and has long been criticized as unfair, racist and “unquestionably sexist."On this special edition of The House, Catherine Cullen explores the history of the discriminatory legislation with Bob Joseph, author of 21 Things You Might Not Know about the Indian Act and Janice Makokis, an Indigenous Legal Rights Scholar and associate professor at the University of Windsor Faculty of Law. The program also looks at current attempts to reform the Indian Act through Bill S-2, an amendment that would allow status to pass on indefinitely to future generations — eliminating the "second-generation cut-off." Dawn Lavell-Harvard, former national president of the Native Women's Association of Canada, explains how it would impact her own family, and Kitigan Zibi's Nick Ottawa explains why First Nations are concerned about an influx of new members without a recent connection to the community. Then columnist and professor Niigaan Sinclair weighs in on whether he thinks the bill will pass. Plus, host Catherine Cullen speaks to Chief Councillor John Jack about how the Maa-nulth Treaty on Vancouver Island allowed Huu-ay-aht First Nation to literally burn a copy of the Indian Act fifteen years ago, and why he believes their modern treaty is a model for the future. Then, AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak adds a final thought on whether the Indian Act can be amended — or scrapped.

Bob Joseph's book 21 Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of Canadians by shining a light on the Indian Act and the problems associated with it. In that book, readers learned that the consolidated Indian Act of 1876 has controlled the lives of Indigenous Peoples in Canada for generations, and despite its objective to assimilate Indians into the economic and political mainstream, it has had the opposite effect of keeping them separate. They live under different laws and on different lands. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Bob Joseph started a conversation on the Indian Act with his book, 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act, which became a national bestseller. And now, he's followed up with an essential sequel, turning the focus to the alternatives. His new book, 21 Things You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government has just been launched. We speak with Bob Joseph.

The Indian Act has controlled Indigenous lives for nearly 150 years. Bob Joseph, author of 21 Things You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government, explains how Nations are breaking free from dependency, restoring culture and building thriving governments on their own terms. We explore the difference between self-administration and true self-government, the role of hereditary leadership and why this transformation benefits all Canadians.

Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages As I'm recording this, I'm currently in Australia where we're about two weeks out from a national referendum on whether or not to change the Australian Constitution to recognise the first peoples of Australia, by establishing a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. I'm embarrassed to say that it doesn't look likely to pass, and by the time you're hearing this we'll know for sure. There's a profoundly worrying general lack of energy and empathy among most Australians, and, to me, feels like a once-in-a-generation opportunity for reconciliation, empowerment, and healing is being missed. It's confronting to recognise that so many of us live on unceded territories of First Nations, and it's not easy to know what to do about it. That's why I'm so grateful to the people doing the work to give the rest of us the chance to do the right things, and make the braver choices.  Bob Joseph has been steadily changing the world for decades. He's the President and CEO of Indigenous Corporate Training Inc, a company focused on teaching others how to work effectively with those people who are native to Canadian land, and also the author of a perpetual best-seller in Canada, 21 Things You May Not Know About The Indian Act.
