In this episode, commercial litigator Dora Konomi sits down with The Honourable Justice Koehnen of the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto to peel back the layers of the self-represented litigant.Are your self-reps difficult or often caught in a complex system? This episode explores the modern trends driving this rise in self-reps—including the skyrocketing cost of legal services and the "illusion of knowledge" created by AI. We also emphasize the needs to be both an advocate for your client but also a court officer and how to maintain that balance. Best practices, practical tips, and some anecdotes. Whether you are dealing with a well-meaning but overwhelmed individual or a persistent vexatious litigant, this episode provides a roadmap for separating the wheat from the chaff while maintaining professional integrity.Justice M. Koehnen practised complex commercial litigation at McMillan LLP for 29 years before being appointed to the bench, during which he appeared before courts of all levels, securities commissions, and international arbitration tribunals. His practice led him to work with a wide variety of legal and social cultures, including those of China, Iran, and Nigeria. He was active in the International Bar Association, where he served as chair of the Litigation Committee. Justice Koehnen is the author of Oppression and Related Remedies, which has been cited frequently by courts throughout Canada, including the Supreme Court of Canada. In addition, he has contributed to various books dealing with director and officer liability, privilege, and arbitration.Justice Koehnen was born to immigrant parents and grew up in modest circumstances in Toronto. He was the first of his extended family to attend university, earning a B.A. and LL.B. from the University of Toronto and a diplôme d'études approfondies in international economic law from the Université Paris 1 (Panthéon-Sorbonne). Dora Konomi is a partner at Walker Law in Toronto. She is a dedicated litigator with a passion for delivering practical, client‐focused solutions in civil litigation. She has a particular interest in commercial litigation, including construction disputes, fraud, debt enforcement, and condominium law.Since being called to the Ontario Bar, Dora has gained significant experience advocating for clients in various disputes, including construction liens, shareholder issues, and fraud cases. She has represented clients across industries, from construction and financial institutions to condominium corporations, bringing her deep understanding of legal and business complexities to every case.Dora is also an award‐winning radio host and hosts a weekly radio show.Land AcknowledgementThe Advocates' Society acknowledges that our offices, located in Toronto, are on the customary and traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinabek, the Huron-Wendat and now home to many First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples.  We acknowledge current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit and honour their long history of welcoming many nations to this territory.While The Advocates' Society is based in Toronto, we are a national organization with Directors and members located across Canada in the treaty and traditional territories of many Indigenous Peoples. We encourage our members to reflect upon their relationships with the Indigenous Peoples in these territories, and the history of the land on which they live and work.We acknowledge the devastating impacts of colonization, including the history of residential schools, for many Indigenous peoples, families, and communities and commit to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusiveness in an informed legal profession in Canada and within The Advocates' Society.

The four-day work week sounds ideal, but is it realistic for all of us? Seven decades ago, Australia moved from working six days a week to five. Many of us now think it's time for an update, with the idea of a four-day work week gaining traction around the word. A shorter work week has been shown to boost productivity and mental health, but critics argue it's a 'white-collar fantasy' that's unrealistic for many industries.Our host David Karsten is joined by Professor Julia Richardson to explore the pros and cons of a shorter work week, and how likely it is to be implemented in your workplace. Clarifying the four-day concept [01:09]Increased efficiency [03.31]An identity beyond work [06:21]Long term sustainability concerns [08:41]Expectations and performance [12:12]Interpersonal over AI [20:18]Learn moreFrom the great resignation to the four-day work week (2024)Connect with our guestsProfessor Julia RichardsonProfessor Julia Richardson is the Head of the School of Management and Marketing at Curtin University and a recognised expert in careers and human resources management. She has enjoyed a global career in the UK, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand and Canada, and has won multiple awards for her research and teaching.

In this episode of The Clink, Brent Simpson sits down with proud First Nations man and renowned Indigenous artist Brad Turner. Brent and Brad first met over 20 years ago playing rugby league on the Gold Coast. Back then, footy was life — community, culture and mateship. But when a devastating workplace injury left Brad with permanent nerve damage and the loss of movement in his hand, everything changed. The phone stopped ringing. The identity he had built around sport began to unravel. What followed was a dark and dangerous battle with depression, self-harm and the overwhelming weight of feeling lost. In this episode, Brad opens up about the lowest points of his life — the moments where he couldn’t see a way forward — and the turning points that slowly brought him back. From the unwavering strength of his wife, to rediscovering purpose through photography, fitness and ultimately art, Brad shares how he rebuilt himself one day at a time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"We want mob from all over the country to feel like they can participate, it is about knowledge sharing in whatever form"

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Green party leader, Elizabeth May claims it's safer to move bitumen by rail than through pipelines. She has mentioned this in the House of Commons, written about it in her blog and told reporters. 'In a marine environment, diluted bitumen is, impossible to clean up.' To which Michael Lowry from Western Canada Marine Response Corporation, responds, "The biggest spill we've ever cleaned up was a diluted bitumen spill." Elizabeth May: "It wasn't dilbit." (DILuted BITumen) They were actually referring to two different products. Lowry's company was cleaning up SynBit (SYNthetic BITumen), which is lighter, more likely to float, and thus easier to clean up than dilbit. They're both diluted bitumens that are shipped through pipelines, but SynBit is a 50/50 blend of bitumen and synthetic crude oil, whereas dilbit usually consists of approximately 70% bitumen and 30% diluent. Lowry is the only one who means something other than dilbit when they mention diluted bitumen in this story. Elizabeth May: "Since it's a solid, to put it in a pipe to get it to flow, they stir in fossil fuel condensate, naphtha, butane. Imagine that they stir in lighter fluid, stir in anything they can to get this solid tar called bitumen to flow through a pipeline, but unlike upgrading, this is not a step in the process of getting to a refineable product. This is only about getting it to flow through a pipeline. At its ultimate destination, a refinery, the diluent has to be removed." May isn't endorsing the further expansion of Canada's fossil fuel sector. Her position on that is quite clear: Elizabeth May: "Don't promote fossil fuel use. Don't build fossil fuel infrastructure - full stop - because of the climate crisis." However if you are going to do it anyway: Elizabeth May: "Our coastal waters are very, very much more at risk if we put bitumen in a pipeline." "When Alberta and Federal fossil fuel supporters attempt to characterize British Columbia as a province or British Colombians and First Nations, as objectors to pipelines, they frame that objection as these people, these first nations, these environmentalists, this provincial government whatever, are trying to stop Alberta getting its resources to market." "That's a quite familiar framing; That is completely false. Nobody would ever object to carrying solid bitumen to market, that's not the issue. The issue isn't keeping bitumen from going overseas." "If you really want to get your product to market without getting British Colombians up in arms about destroying our ecosystems, threatening the 800 stream crossings between the Alberta border and the Burnaby Turnable terminal. If you want to ship that bitumen to buyers elsewhere in the world, you can put it on a train."

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back! Be sure to click the link in the show notes below and check out Fred's amazing channel.Fred, a tribal council member from Dillingham, Alaska, returns to share chilling accounts of encounters with what he calls the “hairy man.” In his First Nations culture, these experiences are not sensationalized—they're part of oral history and everyday life in remote Alaska.In the first story, two relatives—“Penelope” and “Jasmine”—were camping on a gravel bar near the confluence of the Nuuk and Ishak rivers while heading to Harris Creek to prospect for gold. During the night, they heard strange noises and saw multiple sets of eyeshine—white and amber/red—watching from the darkness. Penelope witnessed a massive, dark, man-like figure with long arms moving along the riverbank.What followed escalated quickly: a blood-curdling scream, pebbles tossed into the water, and even a broken birch tree thrown into the channel. A towering figure—estimated around 12 feet tall—paced, swayed, squatted, showed its teeth, and vocalized while more eyeshine appeared in the distance, suggesting multiple beings.After a warning shot was fired, the activity briefly stopped—but later something crossed the channel, circled their tent while huffing like a bear, screamed from just 15 feet away, and even rocked a large tree stump near camp. Shots were fired from inside the tent before the pair fled in their boat, leaving their camp behind. Reports of screams, thrown objects, tracks, and even UFO sightings are common in the remote regions he represents.He then shares a second account from about 20 years ago. Two friends, “Benson” and “Terry,” set out on a 10-day fly-fishing trip that ended early after repeated frightening events. They experienced unnatural silence, large tracks, and the constant feeling of being watched. Terry saw a large man-like figure in the tundra and later encountered something 8 to 8.5 feet tall standing in a creek, unfazed by shouting. On the sixth day, Benson followed a strange melodic whistle and appeared briefly trance-like before Terry stopped him.That night, Benson finally saw the creature clearly—squatted about 20 feet from camp with glowing red eyeshine, a wrinkled face, massive hands, and large block-like teeth framed by thick fur. When Terry aimed his rifle, it screamed. Shots were fired, and they believed it may have been hit.The creature returned repeatedly that night and eventually grabbed and threw their tent before running off after more gunfire.By day seven, they hiked out and were picked up early. Benson later remembered a warning from a Native friend: “Do not mess with the hairy man.”Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

For 45 years a tiny remote First Nation has been at odds with a conservation group to get land back it believes was illegally appropriated in the 1800s. Members of the Dzawada'enux First Nation believe Nature Trust of BC puts the wellbeing of Grizzly Bears over the needs of their people. They say it's a dispute that may lead to direct action if a solution is not found. APTN Investigates: A Kingcome's Ransom by Rob Smith • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.

Travis Willier Moostoos is a multidisciplinary artist and self-described monster hunter whose work blends imagination, folklore, and raw creative expression. Known for vivid illustrations and storytelling that draw from myth, wilderness legends, and personal symbolism, Travis creates art that feels both ancient and modern at the same time.

Whether working on canvas, digital media, or mixed materials, his style carries a bold, unmistakable energy that reflects a lifelong passion for the strange and extraordinary.Beyond the studio, Travis embraces the persona of “monster hunter,” using it as both a creative brand and a metaphor for confronting fears, inner demons, and the unknown corners of the human psyche. Through art showcases, social media content, and collaborative projects within paranormal and creative communities, he invites others to explore imagination without limits. Travis Willier Moostoos continues to build a growing following among fans of fantasy art, cryptid culture, and independent creators, inspiring viewers to see monsters not just as creatures of legend, but as powerful symbols of courage, curiosity, and transformation.Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.  We broadcast LIVE every night. -------------------------------------------------------You can now join the Space Traveler's Club;Join us at  https://www.patreon.com/sor_space_travelers_club  --------------------------------------------------------Grab Our Latest Spaced Out Radio Gear At:http://spacedoutradio.com/shop  It's a great way to support our show!--------------------------------------------------------OUR LINKS:TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/spacedoutradio   FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/spacedoutradioshow  SPACED OUT RADIO - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/spacedoutradioshow  DAVE SCOTT - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/davescottsor   TWITCH: https://www.twitch.com/spacedoutradioshow  WEBSITE: http://www.spacedoutradio.comGUEST IDEAS OR QUESTIONS FOR SOR?Contact Klaus at bookings@spacedoutradio.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

An unprecedented judgment declared Aboriginal title over privately held land, not far from the Metro Vancouver area. It has stirred a divisive debate in British Columbia around reconciliation and legal commitments to First Nations.

In this episode Claire Bown is joined by Georgia Close and Harriet Body from the National Gallery of Australia, alongside Naomi Zouwer from the University of Canberra, to explore how the gallery co-designed its Creative Learning approach.The conversation traces an 18-month process of articulating a shared pedagogical framework shaped by national context, cultural responsibility, and First Nations-led principles. Rather than adopting an existing model, the team worked through workshops, observation, interviews and iterative “campaigns” to develop a cohesive, values-led approach.A key commitment was centring the artist's voice, placing artist intention in conversation with students' existing knowledge. From this, the team developed a Creative Learning strategy planning tool that supports inquiry-led, multimodal, embodied and reflective practice.Across the episode, they explore:How to develop a context-specific learning approach rather than importing a modelWhat it means in practice to centre the artist's voiceHow small, iterative “campaigns” can embed reflective practice in a teamHow multimodality and embodiment deepen engagement beyond discussionWhy joy is understood as a serious pedagogical commitmentWhat co-design and participatory action research look like inside a museum settingThis episode will resonate with anyone working in museums, galleries or cultural institutions who is thinking carefully about pedagogy, reflective practice, and how to articulate an approach that genuinely reflects their context and values.The Art Engager is written and presented by Claire Bown.

Sheriff Brian Patterson steps away from the badge and into the microphone full time as Sasquatch Odyssey explodes beyond anything he ever imagined. Part Five picks up with the podcast in full swing, and the witnesses are lining up from every corner of the South and beyond to finally tell the stories they have been carrying in silence for decades.It starts in the mountains of northeast Georgia with a seventy-three-year-old retired logger named Earl Hutchins, a man who kept his mouth shut for forty-five years about what stepped out of the timber near Clayton in the fall of nineteen seventy-eight. His story breaks something open.The emails start flooding in from across the region, and Patterson finds himself recording encounter after encounter from witnesses who never had anyone willing to listen. A retired schoolteacher from Ellijay describes the thing that came screaming out of the Chattahoochee National Forest and changed the way she felt about the woods forever. A fishing guide from Everglades City recounts the night a pair of glowing eyes tracked him across the water in the Ten Thousand Islands. A teenage girl in Oconee County, South Carolina watched something unfold from a rhododendron thicket while her daddy's bluetick hound shook itself half to death against her leg.The stories stretch across state lines and keep coming. Arkansas. Tennessee. Virginia. A coon hunter and his cousin tree something in the Ouachitas that no lantern light should ever have revealed. A family of four flees a Cherokee National Forest campsite at three in the morning. A state trooper on Skyline Drive watches something cross a two-lane highway in three strides and never tells a soul.Then the podcast goes national and the picture gets bigger. A Lummi Nation elder speaks of the Ts'emekwes his people have known for thousands of years. A woman in the Hocking Hills of Ohio locks eyes with something standing between the trees in broad daylight and never hikes again. From Louisiana to Alaska to Hawaii, the encounters pile up, and Patterson starts to understand that this is not a regional phenomenon. It is everywhere. When the show crosses international borders, the scope becomes staggering. A First Nations man from British Columbia reminds the world that his people gave us the word Sasquatch in the first place. A Russian researcher describes a shape moving through snow in the Pamir Mountains. An Australian prospector watches something vanish from a waterhole in the outback. Sherpas in Nepal, scientists in China, guides in the Amazon — every culture, every continent, every corner of the wild world has a name for what lives in the places humans do not go. But it is the deep encounters that change everything. A hospice nurse in rural Kentucky describes the night something appeared at her dying husband's window and hummed him into his final moment of peace. A lost hiker in the Gila Wilderness receives images in her mind that lead her back to safety. A former Army Ranger wakes paralyzed in the Big Thicket while something rifles through his thoughts like pages in a book. These are the stories that keep Patterson up at night and force him to ask whether these creatures are something far stranger and far more profound than anyone has been willing to consider. By the end of Part Five, Patterson is two years into full-time podcasting with over three hundred interviews behind him and patterns emerging from the noise. The creatures follow corridors. They move with the seasons.They choose when to be seen. And a small but undeniable percentage of encounters suggest something beyond biology, beyond what any scientific framework can currently explain. The podcast has crossed a million downloads. The community is growing. The world is slowly waking up. And somewhere out in the deep woods, something is watching back.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

When the ground keeps giving back more than you put in, the story stops being about exploration and starts being about building a mine. Tartisan Nickel's latest drill hole at Kenbridge came back with 11 metres of high-grade nickel and copper at depth — backed by a second spike of nearly 5% nickel over 2 metres that few deposits anywhere can match. For a project that already has a shaft in the ground, a road in, and a mine plan on paper, these results are not a discovery — they are a confirmation. The next step is a pre-feasibility study.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWDeep Grade: Hole KB26-208 returned 11.0 metres of 1.05% nickel and 0.33% copper, including 2.0 metres of 4.79% nickel and 1.25% copper, plus an additional 3.5 metres of 2.87% nickel and 0.81% copper within the same zone.Model Tightening: This is the second infill hole of the 2026 program, targeting a zone with over 1 million tonnes of greater than 1% nickel that the company is working to move into higher-confidence categories ahead of pre-feasibility.Scale Program: 2,700 metres of drilling have been completed across the first three holes, with results from the third hole still pending and the fourth hole now drilling below the existing 622-metre shaft to test how deep this deposit really goes.Established Economics: The Updated PEA outlines a 9-year underground mining operation at 1,500 tonnes per day, with a pre-tax NPV of $182.5 million and a 26% internal rate of return.Critical Minerals: Kenbridge hosts Class 1 battery-grade nickel in one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions on the planet, directly in the crosshairs of North American critical mineral strategy for EVs, energy storage and supply chain security.STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSFor decades, the world has sourced nickel from offshore operations that are expensive to run, difficult to regulate and increasingly exposed to political risk. The result is a supply chain that North American manufacturers, defense agencies and battery makers have grown deeply uncomfortable depending on. Legacy producers have failed to bring new, high-grade, domestically sourced nickel online fast enough to close that gap.Kenbridge is the kind of asset that makes that problem smaller. It sits in northwestern Ontario with a shaft already sunk, a road already built, environmental baseline work already years deep, and active relationships with seven First Nations communities. It is not a greenfield dream — it is an advanced project hitting high-grade results and moving methodically toward a pre-feasibility study. Each new drill hole either confirms what is already known or expands what the deposit could become, and the current program is doing both.The timing could not be better aligned. Critical minerals have become a matter of national security on both sides of the border. The U.S. Department of Defense is actively backing domestic supply. Canada is accelerating its own critical mineral strategy. In that environment, a fully-owned, high-grade, road-accessible nickel and copper project with a mine plan already in hand does not stay small-cap forever.CEO MARK APPLEBY:"These are the kind of numbers that get people's attention. We've got the goods here — high grade, right where we need it, and it keeps showing up. We're heading into pre-feasibility this summer, and every hole we turn makes that a stronger story."INVESTOR TAKEAWAYThe world is running short on nickel and copper it can actually trust — mined safely, in stable jurisdictions, without a shipping container crossing three oceans. Kenbridge is already built into the ground, already permitted to advance, and already hitting the grades that make mine plans work. With a pre-feasibility study targeted for summer 2026 and drill results arriving hole by hole, Tartisan is not waiting for the market to come to it. It is building the kind of asset that larger players in a supply-starved industry will find very hard to ignore.

January 26 is one of the most debated dates in Australia's history. Often described as the nation's birthday, the day marks neither the formal founding of the colony nor the creation of the Commonwealth. Instead, it reflects a layered history shaped by colonisation, political decisions, and ongoing First Nations resistance. Understanding what actually happened on January 26 reveals why the date is experienced so differently across the country. - January 26 cu Australia tuanbia ah bia alnak tam bik a chuahter tu ni pakhat a si.

Content         Warning This episode of Dointime contains audio images of Aboriginal and Tores Strait  Islander people who  have died, and graphic discussion of deaths in custody, and the Stolen Generation. This week's show is a Special Commemoration  broadcast honouring Aboriginal teenager Tj Hickey. Tj, a 17-year-arold teenager, was killed in February 2004 after  racist police chased him through the streets of Redfern when he was riding his bicycle. The result? He was impaled on a fence and he died at the hands of police. First up we heard from Aunty Dianne, a strong First Nations woman and relative of Tj. She spoke about Tj Hickey and police investigating police. Lots of grief was expressed about his death and the ongoing campaign for justice led by Tj's mother Gail. Then we heard from Cheryl Kaulfuss, from the Indigenous Social Justice Association Melbourne,   (Isja) who spoke about the by2026  rally for Tj, and sent a solidarity message from Isja. FINALLY WE spoke with Bj Newton, a proud Wiradjuri woman and Associate Professor at Nsw Sydney. She leads the Bring them Home Keep them Home Research. In partnership with Abroriginal organiseations, her research drives sector-wide impact through truth-telling, generating new evidence, community-led initiatives, and advocacy. Bj spoke in detail about how the systematic removal of Aboriginal children is worse than ever, 18 years on from the National Apology to the Stolen Generations.  The interview focused on her research and campaigns showing us that the Stolen generation    continues to the present day. It was also discussed that the National Apology speeches included harmful stereotypes and minimization of past injustices, reflecting broader systemic racism that persists in contemporary policies.

The Federal Government has introduced legislation to formalise and strengthen the National Commissioner for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, following Sue-Anne Hunter's historic appointment. The move aims to boost accountability as disparities persist, with First Nations children 27 times more likely to be in youth detention and 10 times more likely to be in out-of-home care. Critics warn limited federal enforcement powers could weaken the role's real-world impact.

Mara nyingi inatajwa kama siku ya kuzaliwa ya taifa, lakini siku hiyo haimaanishi kuundwa rasmi kwa koloni au kuanzishwa kwa Jumuia. Badala yake, inaakisi historia yenye tabaka nyingi inayoundwa na ukoloni, maamuzi ya kisiasa, na upinzani unaoendelea wa Mataifa ya Kwanza. Kuelewa kilichotokea hasa tarehe 26 Januari kinafunua ni kwa nini tarehe hiyo inaathiriwa kwa namna tofauti katika nchi nzima.

The Federal Government has launched a landmark $218 million national plan to end violence against First Nations women and children. It marks the first long-term strategy designed and led entirely by Indigenous communities. While the policy targets specialised healing and emergency services in remote areas, community leaders warn that real change also requires confronting the systemic racism and high rates of violence perpetrated by non-Indigenous men.

Government launches first-ever stand-alone domestic, family and sexual violence plan for First Nations women and children;Palestinians in Occupied West Bank warn expanding Israeli settlements could weaken hopes of a two-state solution;and in sport, Ukrainian athlete looks to wear helmet paying tribute to fellow athletes killed in Russian attacks.

Audio available by 12 p.m. EST For decades, Native women and other women of color were subjected to forced sterilization by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service. New Mexico lawmakers introduced a memorial last week to create a truth and reconciliation commission that would conduct a study into the history, and continuing impacts of this abuse. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) has this report. Senate memorial 14 includes research dating to the 1970s which shows between 25%-50% of Indigenous women ere sterilized, with some of the highest incidents occurring in New Mexico. The memorial would develop a plan to create a state truth and reconciliation commission to research and find all cases of sterilization in the state, gather survivor testimony, and review and recommend educational policy. Keely Badger is a human rights advocate who wrote her dissertation on the forced sterilization of Native women. Lawmakers asked her about challenges finding and accessing records. “I do think that the requests have to come from an official state body, official agencies, to get to the heart of this information. It is going to be more than one person’s ability to accumulate this information.” She says this may have been intentional by the states. “At a national level, they have sealed some of these records for a reason, in the same way that a lot of the information about the boarding school system was very challenging; took decades and decades of research to accumulate to get to a point where we could have a national apology. “I believe that this is one of those situations where it is going to require real political will and advocacy from civil society groups to get to the real heart of this from a national perspective.” If the memorial goes into law, New Mexico would be the first state in the nation to formally investigate and acknowledge these violations. The memorial will head to the senate floor for a vote and if passed, will go to the House of Representatives. White Mountain Apache Chairman Kasey Velasquez speaks about the significance of the Apache trout in Mesa, Ariz. on September 4, 2024. (Photo: Gabriel Pietrorazio / KJZZ Thousands of members from the White Mountain Apache Tribe went to the polls last week to vote in a primary election that resulted in the sitting chairman losing his chance at another term. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports. In a three-way race, Chairman Kasey Velasquez earned a little over 400 votes, while his challengers both received nearly four times as much, according to the tribe's election commission. In the end though, longtime Whiteriver school board member Orlando Carroll got the most votes by a margin of more than 50 ballots. He will face off against Councilman Gary Alchesay in the April general election. Also on Wednesday, the tribe announced that a special prosecutor declined to criminally charge Velasquez under tribal law for allegations of sexual harassment against the HR director. A civil investigation by the tribe is still ongoing. And you will be seeing lots of commemorative Seahawks swag now that Seattle's NFL team has won Super Bowl 60. The ‘hawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13. The BBC reports that many Native American and First Nations people appreciate the team's logo. Turns out, it is based on a carved transformation mask from the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation from the late 1800s. The logo was chosen by the Seahawk's manager in the 1970s. Seattle's Burke Museum traced the origins of it to a photo of a ceremonial mask in an old art book. This led them to the Hudson Museum in Maine. The mask was loaned to Seattle for a ceremony with tribal members and team representatives. The BBC reports that, unlike other major league sports teams, the Seahawks logo has not sparked backlash because it respectfully borrows from Indigenous culture and does not resort to racist stereotypes. Some Indigenous people from Canada and the U.S. say it has inspired them to learn more of their own culture. A ceremony and parade for the Seahawks will be held in Seattle Wednesday morning.

During the summer of 1609, Samuel de Champlain attempted to form better relations and alliances with the local First Nations tribes including Wendat-Hurons, Algonquins, and Montagnais who lived in the area of the St. Lawrence River. These tribes sought Champlain's help in their war against the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, League or Five Nations. The founder of New France set off with his men to explore the Rivière des Iroquois—now known as the Richelieu River—and became the first known European to lay eyes on and map one of the continent’s majestic bodies of water, named Lake Champlain in his honor.

Last week, nine days after a bomb was allegedly thrown into an Invasion Day rally in Perth, police charged a 31-year-old man with engaging in a terrorist act. They allege he was seeking to advance what they described as a ‘racially motivated ideological cause', saying he had accessed ‘pro-white material' online. The wanting response from police, politicians and the media has left First Nations people feeling exposed and abandoned. Lorena Allam from the University of Technology's Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research speaks to Nour Haydar on Australia's history of racial violence and denial

In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, host Michael McCrae interviews Dale Verran, CEO of Fortune Bay Corp. (TSX-V:FOR, OTCQX:FTBYF), to discuss the advancement of the company's flagship Goldfields Gold Project in Saskatchewan. Following a preliminary economic assessment that showcased an after-tax NPV of $610 million, Verran said next steps are to transition toward a prefeasibility study. Verran also highlighted the company's strong relationships with local First Nations and the benefits of operating in Saskatchewan, while briefly touching on the upside potential of their Strike and Murmac uranium projects and the Poma Rosa asset in Mexico.

While there is a growing recognition of the importance of indigenous knowledge in agriculture, all too-often, First Nations people are being asked to fit in with an established model. What if we flipped the script to create food systems that are led by indigenous principles?That's what Jacob Birch is aiming to do in reawakening a native grains industry in Australia. He's a proud Gamilaraay man, scholar, Churchill Fellow, and entrepreneur who founded Yaamarra & Yarral, a wholesaler of ancient grains and retailer of stone milled flour.In this episode, Jacob shares his journey into native grains, beginning with biodiversity and landscape restoration, and expanding into food, culture, and economic sovereignty. He explains why native grasses are keystone species for Australia's ecosystems, how Indigenous Australians managed grain systems for tens of thousands of years, and why these histories, including bread-making, are still largely absent from mainstream narratives.In his Churchill Fellowship, Jacob draws on lessons from First Nations communities in North America, exploring what Indigenous-led food systems can look like when the goal is not export-driven scale, but healthy communities, country, and self-determined economic development.Sarah and Jacob discuss:The nutritional value of native grains and their role in climate resilience and food sovereignty.Why post–farm gate ownership is crucial for First Nations people.How subsidies could potentially support indigenous-led enterprises in food and agriculture.The realities of building a native grains industry; from land access to challenges in processing.Useful Links:Jacob Birch, Churchill Fellowship reportGrasslands Documentary Jacob Birch researcher profileModernising Indigenous Native Grains Processing | AgriFutures AustraliaWhite Earth NationFond du Lac Band of Lake Superior ChippewaNative Farm Bill CoalitionTribal Elder Food Box - Feeding America Eastern WisconsinFirst Nations Australians in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - DAFF2030 Roadmap - National Farmers' FederationFor more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.
