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.

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.

The 2026 SBC Summit Canada has a new moniker, a new date and some new topics to be discussed. So, the folks in charge of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming figured the timing was appropriate to bring back SBC senior marketing guy Dennis Algreen. Algreen joined host Steve McAllister from London to set the table for this year's gathering of the Canadian gaming industry in the city below Malton, set for May 19-21 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. We spoke with Algreen about another busy year for SBC, which also operates conferences in Rio de Janeiro, Malta, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Lisbon, about the topics to be discussed in Toronto. The summit's dedicated conference agenda will feature three stages, each designed to reflect the key forces shaping Canada's gaming landscape in 2026. Across two days, the program will cover leadership strategy in sports betting and casino, affiliate and advertising models, cybersecurity, land-based and lottery operations, player protection, and payments and compliance. Algreen also addressed the impact of the incoming open and competitive gaming market in Alberta on the Canadian summit, and the opportunity for the Toronto event to bring together legal operators and suppliers, provincial lottery and gaming corporations and First Nations gaming businesses and regulators. Gaming News Canada is a partner of SBC for the Canadian conference, and we're offering below a special discount to register for the May rendezvous. Hosted on Acast.

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.

The federal government has released its latest report card on its Closing the Gap targets, which are meant to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians. The data shows just four of the 19 targets are on track. Anthony Albanese has used his annual closing the gap speech on Thursday to announce a $144 million boost to Indigenous health to upgrade more than 100 services in cities and regional areas. But some - like the incarceration rates of First Nations people - continue to worsen. - Федеральное правительство опубликовало новый отчет о достижении целей программы Closing the Gap, направленной на улучшение жизни представителей коренных народов Австралии. Данные показывают, что из 19 целей только четыре на пути к достижению.

This episode features Dr. Pamela Williamson, a member of Moose Deer Point First Nation and the Sturgeon Clan (N'me N'Dodem). She was raised on, and currently lives on, Mnidoo Mnising (Manitoulin Island), Ontario. She is the mother of three adult children and two grandchildren, and has been married for over 46 years. Prior to retiring from full-time work, Dr. Williamson served as the Senior Administrator of Noojmowin Teg Health Centre, an Indigenous primary health care organization composed of a multidisciplinary team serving First Nation and Indigenous community members across Espanola and the Manitoulin Island District. In this role, she worked closely with the seven First Nations and other local primary health partners to support the health needs of First Nation individuals and families, successfully advocating for a number of Indigenous health priorities and initiatives. Currently, Dr. Williamson focuses her energies and skills as an entrepreneur and Indigenous consultant. She also volunteers on diverse boards and councils at the national, provincial, and regional levels. Her passion remains advocating for and supporting the priorities of First Nations, particularly in the area of holistic health and well-being. https://amshealthcare.ca/  

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.

Anthony Albanese defends President Isaac Herzog's visit as he issues call for calm; government unveils policy to end violence against First Nations women and children; and in cricket, Pakistan reverses its boycott and agrees to play against India in the T20 World Cup.

De federale regering heeft een baanbrekend nationaal plan van 218 miljoen dollar gelanceerd om een einde te maken aan geweld tegen First Nations vrouwen en -kinderen. Het is de eerste langetermijnstrategie die volledig is ontworpen en geleid door inheemse gemeenschappen zelf. Hoewel het beleid zich richt op gespecialiseerde genezings- en noodhulpdiensten in afgelegen gebieden, waarschuwen gemeenschapsleiders dat echte verandering ook vereist dat systemisch racisme en de hoge mate van geweld, gepleegd door niet-inheemse mannen, worden aangepakt.

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.

Almost 99 per cent of Australians diagnosed with cancer incur out-of-pocket expenses, even when accessing public care. That's the shocking finding from the Cancer Council Australia's latest national survey, which suggests the financial burden arises from both direct medical costs and indirect expenses at every stage of the cancer journey. The cost of accessing care and treatment hits First Nations communities especially hard, with Indigenous Australians ultimately facing a higher mortality rate for blood cancer.

A coroner hands down findings from an inquest into the fatal stabbing of six people at Bondi last year; legislation introduced on a National Commissioner for First Nations children; and in sport, Jakara Anthony and Matt Graham named as the Australian flag-bearers for the Winter Olympics.

Sport fishers in B.C. are raising concerns about proposed changes to the salmon allocation policy for B.C. - which Fisheries and Oceans Canada (aka DFO) uses to determine which who gets priority access to different types of Pacific salmon. A court ruling in 2018 said the federal government had to add First Nations' commercial rights to the list, and the ministry has been working with First Nations, sport, and commercial fishers to review the overall policy - which is nearly 30 years old. Sport fishers say a new discussion paper shows their rights are at risk - but First Nations say that's not the case. We walk you through it.

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.

In this week's episode, we explore an innovative practice education model where students receive interprofessional supervision to provide supports to First Nations communities in a rural area. In the first half of the episode, we speak with Ngarrindjeri woman and Aboriginal health worker, Bethany Kropinyeri, and physiotherapist, Meekah Zangari, who support students at the Riverland Mallee Coorong Local Health Network. Next, we speak with Judy Tran, a former student participant, and Clare Coulter, placement education coordinator at Flinders University. They discuss how practice educators and students are supported, the benefits of interprofessional learning, co-designing a sustainable and culturally safe program, and practice in rural communities.

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. - 26 de janeiro é uma das datas mais debatidas da história da Austrália. Frequentemente descrita como o “dia do nascimento” da nação, a data não assinala, nem a fundação formal da colónia, nem a criação da Commonwealth. 26 de janeiro reflete antes uma história complexa, moldada pela colonização, por decisões políticas e pela resistência contínua dos Povos das Primeiras Nações Australianas. Compreender o que realmente aconteceu a 26 de janeiro ajuda a explicar por que razão esta data é vivida de formas tão distintas em todo o país.

When a homemade bomb was allegedly thrown into a crowd of more than 2,000 people at an Invasion Day rally in Perth last week, police said that, had it gone off, it had the potential to cause mass casualties. But in the hours and days afterwards many questioned how police, media and political leaders responded to the alleged attack and criticised what they said was selective outrage that dismissed the violence and racism First Nations people face. Indigenous affairs correspondent Sarah Collard speaks to Nour Haydar on the bomb threat at Boorloo and the sadness and fear that lingers.

British Columbia's drug decriminalization pilot program will end on January 31st. The controversial program was introduced in 2023, but was criticized by advocates and political opponents alike. Parts of the policy had already been rolled back as public pressure mounted. The pilot's cancellation was met with disappointment, especially from First Nations leaders, over the lack of consultation. What does the ending of this policy signal about the B.C. government's approach to the toxic drug crisis? And what does it mean for Canadians living with addictions?Andrea Woo, the Globe's staff reporter covering health and drug policy, gives us a retrospective on what exactly B.C.'s pilot was trying to fix, whether that worked, and what comes next as decriminalization ends in the province.Questions?

Director and Executive Producer Stephen Surjik joins us to break down the making of Netflix's new Western series The Abandons—a gloriously bloody, female-led frontier drama already being compared to Yellowstone. Set in the lawless 1850s Washington Territory, The Abandons follows a brutal land feud between two formidable matriarchs, played by Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey. Stephen walks us through what it takes to make a Western feel dangerous again—from shooting in the Badlands and mountains of Alberta to navigating extreme weather, elevation, horses, and real wildlife on set.We dive deep into The Abandons, Stephen's long-standing collaboration with Netflix (The Umbrella Academy, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Witcher), and his return to working with Gillian Anderson two decades after The X-Files. Stephen also shares how close collaboration with First Nations communities and cultural advisors shaped the show's authenticity—on screen and behind the scenes. If you're interested in large-scale production, historical world-building, or directing performances where power, land, and survival collide, this is a must-listen.

Thaioronióhte Dan David (Kanehsatà:ke Mohawk) launched the news department for Canada's Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). In doing so, he gave Indigenous voices a national public platform they did not previously have. He started his career with the CBC covering the Yukon Territory. He reported on the Oka Crisis, among many other historic events. After establishing APTN News, he spent a decade reshaping a national newsroom in post-apartheid South Africa. We’ll speak with David's family, friends and colleagues about his many accomplishments and the importance of putting Indigenous voices front and center in news coverage. We’ll also hear from a founder of the Lakota Times newspaper on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The independent weekly newspaper ceased publication this month after decades in operation, leaving a blank space for Native news in the Great Plains region.
