Podcast appearances and mentions of dawn lavell harvard

International Women's Day as we know it grew out of early 20th century action to promote women's rights and suffrage. After that, its popularity waned. But feminist activism of the 1960s and UN sponsorship of the day in 1975 revitalized it as an occasion to promote women's rights around the globe. We need to remember gender justice activism as more than a single movement, as many intertwined movements across many communities. It's easy to forget how dynamic and evolving these movements have been. We are particularly thankful today to intersectional feminist thought-leaders for addressing how the diversity of our experiences both converge and diverge. They see justice for one as intrinsically tied to justice for all, and nothing less will do. In this vein, we're interviewing Dr. Dawn Lavell Harvard, Ph.D., on her take on what it means to Indigenize International Women's Day. Indigenization as a process of naturalizing Indigenous knowledge to transform spaces, places, and hearts. “The goal is not to replace Western knowledge with Indigenous knowledge,” says Pulling Together: A Guide for Curriculum Developers, “... Indigenization can be understood as weaving or braiding together two distinct knowledge systems so that learners can come to understand and appreciate both.” Dr. Harvard is a proud member of the Wikwemikong First Nation, the first Aboriginal Trudeau Scholar, and has worked to advance the rights of Aboriginal women as the President of the Ontario Native Women's Association since she was first elected in 2003. She is Director for First Peoples House of Learning at Trent University and was President of the Native Women's Association of Canada. She is mother of three girls. Following in the footsteps of her mother Jeannette Corbiere Lavell, a noted advocate for Indigenous women's rights, Dawn has been working toward the empowerment of Aboriginal women and their families ever since joining the Board of the Ontario Native Women Association as a youth director in 1994. She is also a co-editor of the original volume on Indigenous Mothering, “Until Our Hearts Are on the Ground: Aboriginal Mothering, Oppression, Resistance and Rebirth,” and has released a book along with Kim Anderson, “Mothers of the Nations.” Recently, Dawn co-edited a book with Jennifer Brant, entitled “Forever Loved: Exposing the Hidden Crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada.” Relevant links: Pulling Together: A Guide for Curriculum Developers (Antoine, A., Mason, R., Mason, R., Palahicky, S. & Rodriguez de France, C., 2018), First Peoples House of Learning at Trent University Please listen, subscribe, rate, and review this podcast and share it with others.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast w/ Guest Host Scott Radley: The federal government has unveiled its $40-billion agreement in principle to provide compensation to First Nations children and their families harmed by an underfunded child welfare system and establish long-term reform. As a result of the largest class action lawsuit in Canadian history, Ottawa will provide $20 billion to children on reserve and in the Yukon who were unnecessarily removed from their homes between April 1, 1991 and March 31, 2022.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: The good news is Canadians have a lot of trust in their institutions. The not-so-good news is that a strong minority of Canadians believe a small cabal of people “secretly manipulate” world events from the shadows. New polling conducted for Elections Canada suggested that Canadians have strong confidence in institutions like the elections agency (78 per cent), the police (74 per cent), the mainstream media (54 per cent) and provincial and federal governments (56 per cent and 55 per cent, respectively). But the poll – conducted by Leger, and based on a survey of 2,582 adults between April 1 and April 11 – also found that a surprising number of Canadians are willing to believe in conspiracy theories. GUEST: Phil Gurski, President of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, Director of the University of Ottawa's Security program, and former CSIS analyst - Mélanie Joly received one of the biggest promotions in Tuesday's cabinet shuffle, vaulting into the foreign-affairs post as Ottawa grapples with increasing tensions in the Indo-Pacific region and tries to resolve challenges in its relationship with the United States.

In 2018, she suffered a major cabinet demotion after, as Canadian Heritage minister, she bore the brunt of criticism in her home province over the Trudeau government's unwillingness to impose sales taxes on the Netflix video-streaming service. What lessons did she learn from her 2018 demotion and will she succeed at her new role? GUEST: Stephanie Carvin, Associate Professor at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University - The Liberal government has just one day to decide whether it will once again appeal a court order — one that told the government to both compensate and provide services to Indigenous children. While federal ministers responsible say they're weighing the “complex” decision, Indigenous advocates continue to push the government to drop the litigation.

The Bill Kelly Podcast with Guest Host Scott Radley: This year, Sept. 30 will mark the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and every Canadian should observe the federal statutory holiday. Put on an orange T-shirt to honour the survivors of those 139 so-called schools. Think about how Canada can bring about change. Reflect on how to bring loving homes free of mould and with clean water and full fridges to all First Nations communities that need them. Or high schools, for that matter. But we are only sort of recognizing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, because it's up to each provincial and territorial government, as well as individual businesses, to decide whether it will be an actual paid day off. Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are the only provinces recognizing the holiday, closing schools and government offices; certain municipalities around the country are taking the day off, too. But according to provincial governments in populous Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, Sept. 30 will effectively be business as usual.
