Podcasts about Indian Act

Send us a textBat Masterson wasn't just a legendary gunfighter—he may have been the greatest practical joker the American West ever produced. His favorite prank? The notorious "Indian Act," where he and his friends would dress as Native Americans, complete with war paint, to terrorize boastful newcomers in Dodge City. They'd stage mock killings in the streets before charging at their target, revealing the joke at the last moment. Their careful planning included ensuring victims' weapons were unloaded or filled with blanks—but they didn't account for concealed weapons, as they discovered when a man named Harris pulled a hidden pistol from his boot and shot one of the pranksters.Behind these elaborate pranks was the shadow of Luke McGlue, "the most notorious troublemaker that ever walked the boardwalks of Dodge City." If your horse disappeared or obscenities appeared on the water tower, locals would blame it on Luke. The catch? Luke didn't exist. He was a fictional scapegoat created by Masterson and his friends to take the blame for their countless antics, allowing the real pranksters to walk free while newspapers reported on "the Luke McGlue crowd" with a wink.These pranks weren't just for laughs—they served as informal initiation rites in a town divided between reformers and the original "Dodge City Gang." If you could survive being the butt of a joke while maintaining your good humor, you were accepted as a true Dodge Citian. Even after dangerous incidents like the Harris shooting, the pranks continued for years, only fading as civilization gradually tamed the frontier. As one old adage went, "if you kill them, they won't learn nothing"—and the Luke McGlue crowd apparently never did learn their lesson. Discover these forgotten stories that reveal how humor, not just violence, shaped the culture of the Wild West. Want more tales of frontier pranks?

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - In a series of tweets between 2019 and 2021, the Conservative candidate for North Island Powell River, Aaron Gunn, argued against the the idea that residential schools were a form of genocide.  In the first of these he agreed that they were ‘truly horrific events,' but added that people should not refer to them with a loaded word like ‘genocide' that does not remotely reflect the reality of what happened.” He was wrong, residential schools are a perfect example of genocide. Mr Gunn's understanding of the term appears to be limited to ‘killing of a large number of people,' but when Raphael Lemkin coined the term he stated it wasn't necessary to kill people. There were also genocides of political and social institutions, culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups. Lemkin was a Jewish lawyer who fled from his native Poland after the Germans overran it in 1939. He was deeply concerned about NAZI Germany's extermination policy. In his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (1944), Lemkin wrote:  “By ‘genocide' we mean the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group. This new word, coined by the author to denote an old practice in its modern development, is made from the ancient Greek word genos (race, tribe) and the Latin cide (killing), thus corresponding in its formation to such words as tyrannicide, homocide, infanticide, etc. Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.” He added that. “Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor. This imposition, in turn, may be made upon the oppressed population which is allowed to remain upon the territory …” Lemkin also coined the term cultural genocide, which is the systematic destruction of traditions, values, language, and other elements that make one group of people distinct from another.  How does this relate to Aaron Gunn's Tweets? These three appear to be misguided:  “There was no genocide. Stop lying to people and read a book …”;  “I understand that people have a misinformed view of history which they have reached following a steady and persistent attempt to discredit Canada's past in order to undermine its institutions and future.”  “Residential schools were asked for by Indigenous bands in Eastern Ontario when John A MacDonald was still a teenager.” This last remark refers to residential schools in eastern Ontario sometime between 1828 and 1835, when John A MacDonald was a teenager, but according to the Canadian Encyclopedia, the purpose of residential schools changed during the 1870s. “With the passage of the British North America Act in 1867, and the implementation of the Indian Act (1876), the government was required to provide Indigenous youth with an education and to assimilate them into Canadian society.” 

The respondents are various professionals who obtained judgments against the appellant in 2004, to which a ten-year prescriptive period applies under art. 2924 of the Civil Code of Québec. Certain actions interrupted prescription between 2005 and 2007, after which prescription started running again.A bailiff served a notice of execution on the appellant in 2016, which authorized the bailiff to seize the appellant's movable property. However, the bailiff concluded that the appellant's movable property was exempt from seizure pursuant to section 89 of the Indian Act. The bailiff later had discussions with the appellant's Grand Chief and was informed that there was no property outside of its land base. The bailiff did not prepare and file minutes of seizure. Subsequently, the appellant informed the respondents that it held a property outside of its land base but that it was exempt from seizure. The respondents registered a legal hypothec against that property.The appellant sought a declaration that the prescriptive period applicable to the judgment had expired before the respondents registered the hypothec. The trial judge concluded that prescription had been interrupted in November 2016 when the respondents served a notice of execution on the appellant. The actions of the respondents amounted to a judicial application that interrupted prescription per article 2892 C.C.Q. Although the seizure was unfruitful, it had not been dismissed or annulled by a court, in which case prescription would not have been interrupted, per article 2894 C.C.Q. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and affirmed the trial judge's decision. Argued Date 2025-03-19 Keywords Prescription — Extinctive prescription — Interruption of prescription — Whether service of notice of execution interrupted prescription — Whether service of notice of execution amounts to unsuccessful seizure if there are no assets available to seize — Whether section 89 of the Indian Act applies so as to render appellant's movable property unseizable — Civil Code of Québec, arts. 2892, 2894 — Indian Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. I-5, s. 89.

Nicole O'Byrne speaks with Leila Inksetter about her book, Cultural Change among the Algonquin in the Nineteenth Century. The nineteenth century was a time of disruption for the Algonquin people as they encountered fur traders, missionaries, settlers, and other outside forces. Despite this, they retained some control over the changes they faced, adapting where possible to serve their own interests. Cultural Change among the Algonquin in the Nineteenth Century explores the history of settler-Indigenous interactions around the Ontario-Quebec border, focusing on the period after colonial incursion but before the Indian Act of 1876. The study compares two regions: Lake Timiskaming, where commercial logging began in the 1830s, and Lake Abitibi, which saw less outside contact until the early 20th century. Using archival and ethnographic sources, Leila Inksetter examines the changes in governance, the introduction of elected chiefs, food provisioning, environmental shifts, and the blending of Indigenous spirituality with Catholicism. Inksetter argues that the Algonquin response to cultural change was not just an imposition but a dynamic, self-directed process. She calls for greater recognition of Algonquin agency and decision-making during this time, before the full effects of the Indian Act were felt. Leila Inksetter is professor in the Department of History at the Université du Québec à Montréal.

In episode 4, we focus on the upcoming 25th annual Mental Health Conference at George Brown College in Toronto and this year's theme, Thriving Together in the Classroom: Creating the Conditions for Student Well-Being.  Author, storyteller, Indigenous academic and conference keynote speaker Carolyn Roberts; dean of the Centre for Preparatory and Liberal Studies, Susan Toews; and director of Student Well-Being and Support, Alex Irwin discuss this year's conference and its focus on teaching, the mental health and well-being of post-secondary students, decolonizing learning and Indigenous resurgence through education. Reflecting on the need for decolonizing and re-storying education, Roberts says: “When Indigenous students step into the classroom, we are being asked to leave a part of who we are at the door, because that's not talked about or shared within those spaces. So we have to leave our indigeneity at the door to come in to learn about something else. And that's not a sustainable thing.And not only for Indigenous students, but for all non white students that are walking into these spaces … We need to make sure that we're having multiple stories from multiple perspectives in our classrooms, so that all of our students can see a piece of them within the work that they're doing.” For online registration, conference fees and information about the February 27, 2025 conference, please click this link.  About today's guests:  Carolyn Roberts uses her voice to support Indigenous resurgence through education.

How does the telling of Canadian history change when we add Indigenous perspectives? Whose voices have been excluded from our understanding of this country's narrative? Jody Wilson-Raybould presents a more complete version of events in a new book she's co-authored with Roshan Danesh, called "Reconciling History: A Story of Canada."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Because of the Indian Act, Indigenous communities have been blocked from accessing capital markets, which means they haven't been able to invest in critical infrastructure projects happening in their territories. For the past ten years, First Nations Major Projects Coalition has been working to change that. FNMPC is a non-profit, Indigenous-led organization working to empower Indigenous communities to secure equity stakes in mining, clean energy, regulated utilities and pipelines. FNMPC's Chief Sustainability Officer Mark Podlasly Mark explains how First Nations are becoming full partners in the next chapter of Canada's development—and why it's a crucial element to meeting Canada's international obligations around accessing export markets.Join the Building Good community today:https://www.buildinggood.caLinkedIn

September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, as well as Orange Shirt Day, a time to honour the Indigenous children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities. In recognition of this important day, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau joined host Shayla Oulette Stonechild for a reflective conversation on how healing and empowerment through wellness can support us in navigating the necessary, but often challenging, conversations around reconciliation.  This event brings together the unique perspectives of Shayla, a Red River Métis and Nehiyaw iskwew (Plains Cree woman), founder of the Matriarch Movement and global yoga ambassador for lululemon, and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, an author and passionate mental health advocate committed to supporting reconciliation. Shayla's lived experience as an Indigenous woman, paired with Sophie's role as an ally, offers a powerful dialogue on how both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can engage in the reconciliation process. Their collaboration emphasizes the importance of honouring Indigenous voices while encouraging non-Indigenous individuals to actively participate in reconciliation through awareness, healing, wellness, and meaningful action. The session includes a discussion on the significance of National Truth and Reconciliation Day for both Shayla and Sophie, followed by a guided meditation, breathwork, and accessible movement (yoga). The event concluces with a Q&A session, allowing the audience to engage in thoughtful dialogue. Shayla shared her personal connection to residential schools through her father's experiences. Sophie emphasized the importance for non-Indigenous people to learn from Indigenous healing practices. They discussed the significance of community, the role of wellness practices like fasting and yoga, and the importance of addressing trauma through movement and support.

(As though they don't already!).The Indian Act has been a thorn in the side of Indians for over a hundred years. Bureaucrats in Ottawa have the ability to tell Indians what they can and cannot do ….Right down to how many cigarettes can be sold in their stores! This is not the rule of law. Should it be abolished? Karen Restoule is a Vice-President with Crestview Strategies, and is an Ojibwe Indian from Dokis First Nation - she joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.

Shayla Praud (Eagle Clan from the Nisga'a Nation), Dominga Robinson (Nakota Jamaican l Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation) and Justin Thompson (Member of Nipissing First Nation), students at the time of recording earlier this year, share their views on Indigenous self-governance. Together, they discuss how Indigenous legal systems and practices contribute to reconciliation efforts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, and the responsibilities of the Canadian government and legal community in supporting these efforts; alternatives to courts, in the context where not all Nations or communities may want to or be able to take on the challenge of implementing their own courts; and the example of the community Nipissing FN, which became the first community to enact a Constitution taking power away from the Indian Act as a key governing document.

Retired Judge Brian Giesbrecht speaks candidly about how Canada is not helping its Indigenous peoples by continuing to provide money and empty land acknowledgements. What does this all do to one person's confidence in themselves to thrive? And if we're really on "stolen land", could your property be taken from you one day?

Settle in for talks about various Pride celebrations, anime, water restrictions, and how Tara is confronted by her love of age-gap romances when a character is her exact age. And, we get a poetry reading for the first time in QR history! Official Recommendations From Amanda: A Fate Worse Than Death by Nisha Patel This week, Amanda recommends A Fate Worse Than Death by Nisha Patel. It's a poetry collection that investigates the vulnerabilities and life experiences of navigating a medical system mired in capitalism. Amanda reads a poem at the end of the episode if you want a sense of what to expect. From Tara: A Little Kissing Between Friends by Chencia C. Higgins This week, Tara recommends A Little Kissing Between Friends by Chencia C. Higgins. This sapphic romance has a messy friends-to-lovers pairing between a music producer and her best friend, the premiere dancer at a local strip club. Tara praised this book for its fat rep, its kissin', and how it dives into the sloppy muck of what to do when you sleep with your best friend.  Works/People Discussed Yuri on Ice (MAPPA) Truth and Reconciliation Final Report University of Alberta Free Online Indigenous Canada course 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act by Bob Joseph The Untamed (Tencent Video) Winter Begonia (iQiyi) Farewell my Concubine (1993) S.C.I.

Chuck Copenace is a Winnipeg-based Ojibway musician and we talk about Chuck's excellent album Oshki Manitou, which expands his work as a trumpet player, arranger, and composer. He's woven together ceremonial sweat-lodge melodies with jazz, funk, dance and electronica and this episode features tracks from that album. He's such a powerfully lyrical trumpet player, and you'll be deeply touched to hear his inspiring story of moving through trauma and addiction to helping others through counseling and music. Chuck talked to me about his experience of growing up Indigenous, how intergenerational trauma from the residential schools affected his life, and how he was able to get sober and find healing in Indigineous ceremonial traditions.  You'll hear about his university experience at Brandon university studying with Alan Ehnes, how he became a counselor through the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, and found his way back to a life in music. He spoke of his hope for the future of Indigenous youth, working with Julia Keefe's Indigenous Big Band, and his upcoming projects.

This is chapter 2 of a mini series. To listen to all episodes, become a supporter at https://canadaland.com/joinWhen Newfoundland joined Canada as the tenth province in 1949, both the new province and the federal government neglected to mention in their terms of union that any indigenous people lived there. That meant Canada had no legal obligations to Mi'kmaq or Innu under the Indian Act. So First Nations peoples there were left out.Over the decades, Mi'kmaq on the island fought for official recognition. Following the creation of Miawpukek First Nation (Conne River) in the early 1980s, the federal government finally agreed in the 2000s to recognize Mi'lkmaq in Central and Western Newfoundland, The Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation was formed. More than 100,000 people applied to join the new band, leading many to question the authenticity of those claims. Justin speaks with experts and Qalipu community leaders to figure out how the community defines who is or isn't Mi'kmaq. He wants to know because he and his family enrolled with Qalipu, but as Justin learned more about his ancestry, he began to question whether that claim was legitimate.And if that claim wasn't legitimate, what would that mean for the thousands of other Qalipu members?

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.

When the federal government looked to abolish the Indian Act with its controversial White Paper, Harold Cardinal put pen to paper and wrote An Unjust Society. For the next four decades, he emerged as one of Canada's most influential Indigenous activists.

As Indigenous people our connection to the land is at the core of who we are. Every river, lake and piece of land had a name and a story. It might tell us what the land looked like, who lived there or whether the area had good hunting and fishing ground; stories handed down and remembered. Since early contact, our lands have been renamed by Canada's settlers. Many of our traditional place names were erased and replaced. Some names were derogatory like Killsquaw Lake in Saskatchewan. Other names are a reminder of a dark history like Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway in Ottawa or Avenue Christophe-Colomb in Montreal. But now that is changing, or rather name-changing. Alestine Andre is a Gwich'in researcher from Tsiigehtshic, formerly known as Arctic Red River. Ingrid Kritsch is an anthropologist and archaeologist from Ontario. For the last 30 years, the duo have been interviewing Gwich'in Elders, and used their knowledge to return about 1000 place names to their traditional territory. Christopher Columbus is often credited with “discovering” the “New World.” Once celebrated as a great explorer – his legacy has shifted from discoverer to invader. But his monuments still stand in many streets, parks, towns and cities. That's what brings Kahnawake – Mohawk Sean French to march along Avenue Christophe-Colomb . He plans to continue marching until the name of the street is changed. Changing a place name can also heal and repair relations because as Kellie Wuttunee says, names have power. The Cree lawyer from Saskatchewan pulled over to the side of a lake one day in 2017. She looked up to check where she was, a sign read: Killsquaw Lake. That started Kellie on a 2 year mission to change the derogatory name. The traditional territory of the Algonquin people is also known as Ottawa - the Capital of Canada. That's where you'll find many references to Canada's first Prime Minister: Sir John A. Macdonald. While he is rightly memorialized as such, he also had a darker history. Macdonald was the architect of the Indian Act - federal legislation that governs “status Indians” and life on reserves. He also oversaw the expansion of the residential school system. That's why Algonquin poet and storyteller Albert Dumont wanted the name changed. Last September 30, he gave notice to the National Capital Commission - the board that decides on name changes. Dumont said he would protest the parkway that year - and every year until it was renamed.

As new residents and citizens of Canada, it is so important for us to learn about and become allies for its Indigenous Peoples. First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples have been living in what is now Canada for thousands of years, and they each have unique histories, languages, cultural practices, and spiritual beliefs.  We newcomers are now lucky enough to call this beautiful country our home - but we must remind ourselves that we are living on their land. In this episode, I'm joined by Danielle and Jamie-Leigh, who come to us from RAVEN Trust, a not-for-profit that raises legal defense funds to assist Indigenous Peoples. They also have a fantastic online video course called Home on Native Land that you can take for FREE to start your learning. In this episode, we discuss the history of colonization in Canada, including the definitions of Terra Nullius, the Doctrine of Discovery, and the Indian Act. We also speak about the common misconceptions about Indigenous peoples, as well as the ongoing conflict over broken treaties. I ask Danielle and Jamie-Leigh whether Indigenous Peoples welcome immigrants and refugees to Canada, as well as what they think about the term “Canadian”.  They also share some of the ways that newcomers to Canada can contribute to ongoing reconciliation efforts. __ In Canada, September 30 is The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, or “Orange Shirt Day.” The day aims to raise awareness about the Indian Residential School System, where Indigenous children across Canada were ripped from their families, abused and thousands killed. It is also an opportunity to commit to the process of truth, justice, and reconciliation. You can learn more by clicking here. __ Links & Resources: Home on Native Land is a new, free online learning tool that is funny, honest, and accessible, providing a no-risk, comfortable way to understand Indigenous law, Canadian law, and their impact on the nation we call home.

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. As part of that, History Channel, Global and StackTV will be airing True Story Part 1 and Part 2. Narrated by Kaniehtiio Horn (Rutherford Falls), True Story Part Two will examine the intergenerational impact of historical events including the Indian Act and Residential School system, the Sixties Scoop, Indigenous political movements, and the role of Indigenous veterans in Canada's military. Through authentic storytelling, the raw and challenging themes are complimented by an inspiring and uplifting tone and moments of hope that show audiences what Canada could truly be if we learn from the past.

Crow Qu'Appelle joins us for a chat about NEVERMORE MEDIA, and leaving Woke Anarchy in Canada. We chat about being an activist for indigenous rights, seeing a shift of the freedom / Anarchy movement during COVID. We chat about Entryism, Anti Science, Anti Trump, metaphysics, defining definitions of words like Capitalism, Woke, Fascist, how they can call everyone Fascists, conversion therapy and the woke phenomenon.   In the extra long second half we get deeper into Indigenous Land Rights, #landback, Ontario governments restrictions on family land use (anti hippy laws), the Indian Act, the Arctic terrain in war, Canada's death, the DTES (Downtown East Side of Vancouver), Inuit suicides, issues with the right wing, sovereign village, pipeline protests, spontaneous order, and the revolution in mexico against the government and cartels.   We also chat about the collapse, electrifying Africa, animism, poly-crisis, circle of all nations, intentional communities, globalism, harm reduction, addiction, the drug war, big pharma, the Picton pig farm crime, the Hells Angels and RCMP, missing indigenous women, Gabor Mate, The opium wars, and the opportunity for Christians and Anarchists to bond.   "As an animist, I do welcome the paradigm shift that is coming into view. I like to tell people: If the COVID era hasn't made you question the nature of reality itself, you aren't thinking hard enough. And you're unsure as what the actual nature of reality is, does it not follow that unforeseeable variables will play into the equation in ways that the powers that be could not possibly have planned for?"   Can we leave our convenience behind or will we always be slaves to it?

Jenny Kay Dupuis shares Heart Berry Bling, a story incorporating the tradition of Anishinaabe beadwork, strawberry teachings, and gender discrimination in the Indian Act into an intimate conversation between grandparent and child. BOOK DESCRIPTION: Heart Berry Bling by Jenny Kay Dupuis; illustrated by Eva Campbell.   On a visit to her granny, Maggie is excited to begin her first-ever beading project: a pair of strawberry earrings. However, beading is much harder than she expected! As they work side by side, Granny shares how beading helped her persevere and stay connected to her Anishinaabe culture when she lost her Indian status, forcing her out of her home community--all because she married someone without status, something the men of her community could do freely.   As she learns about patience and perseverance from her granny's teachings, Maggie discovers that beading is a journey, and like every journey, it's easier with a loved one at her side.   In this beautifully illustrated book, children learn about the tradition of Anishinaabe beadwork, strawberry teachings, and gender discrimination in the Indian Act. NOTABLE QUOTES:   (5:48) “To me it's been such an important art form for me to be able to find strength within myself and also to find joy.”   (6:42) “[Powwow bling has] become this cultural expression that we have in communities, but it's mixed often with, you might see the glass beads, but it's mixed with crystals and rhinestones and maybe some pieces of metal or metal work, and it just shines. It shines so, so brilliantly. It's quite beautiful and it's very, very attractive. And especially when you see it on the dancers when they're competing, it's a beautiful sight.”    (7:32) “The story really was written to educate everybody about, sort of, a period of history that really hasn't been talked about amongst young people. And it was created for those young people who are struggling when it comes to finding their culture and their identity, and also their community, which they may feel that they're not really part of, for various reasons, could have been torn from them for various reasons as well, too”.  (8:52) “I really wanted to bring this story to life, to speak for people to see the importance of what happens when a culture and a community when there's loss. I thought it was so, so important. But also what happens, too, when a family sits and works together to reclaim that history or to bring back those history and those cultures and how much joy that can bring.” (10:32) “[The Indian Act] impacted a lot of First Nations women and a lot of children as well, too. So, you know, for many generations when you look at it, if you were a First Nations woman and you married somebody who was not First Nations, you lost your rights, you lost your status, and you often had to leave your community as well, too.” (13:26) “This particular what we call gender discrimination in the Indian Act, or this law, had a lot of impact on women and children in our communities. And it still does even today, over time.” (15:26) “I think we can really draw on those teachings to think about how we can look towards caring for ourselves and also others when we're struggling, whatever that is.”  (20:37) “There's a lot that really goes into when you're creating a book. It's not just writing the words of a story, but it's how do you illustrate it to make it really come to life. And this was so, so important as a tribute to, to my family and, and to our histories as well, too.” (21:44) “Take time to find joy in everyday life and take time to find strength as well too.”    ADDITIONAL LINKS: Jenny Kay Dupuis website - jennykaydupuis.com Purchase the Book - Heart Berry Bling TALK ABOUT THE EPISODE: Have you ever met your grandparents? If so, are there any special just-with-grandma or grandpa things you like to do? How does being with your grandparent make you feel? Next time you are with your grandparent (or your grownup) ask them about what their childhood was like and see if you're able to make a connection to one of their memories. Of the strawberry teachings (truth, love, respect, trust, acceptance, peace, hope), is there one you see reflected in your actions or in the actions of the people in your life? In what ways can the strawberry plant help remind you of these teachings? Think of a location outside of your home that is special to you. Name as many details about this location as you can. When you picture it in your mind, what do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? What do you smell? Are there taste things that come to mind when you think of this place? Using these skills to reconstruct a vivid image of a place is similar to what authors and illustrators do to bring their readers into a setting or location.

Live with Darren and Graham going over some current events and topics that are not really getting discussed. Why aren't people discussing the major lawsuit against the Government of Canada from some Native Indian Tribes. We chat about natural resources in Canada, the land issue with the indigenous tribes, the land timeline and the possibility of revoking the Indian Act.    What is Meta going to do about C18? Is Mainstream Canadian news completely tone deaf? Is Meta bluffing? Does the mainstream media just want more money from big tech because their platforms and model in utterly failing with all the lies and government money? Canada's war on Natural health just after the start up of The Wellness Company's Canadian division.   And in the meantime Health Canada calls for the end of capitalism and colonialism, and says racism causes global warming. There is a Venn diagram where we overlap with the woke crowd with colonialism.

Indigenous Medicine Stories Podcast is a collaboration between AMS Healthcare and the Jason A. Hannah Chair in the History of Indigenous Health and Indigenous Traditional Medicine at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University. It is hosted by Dr. Darrel Manitowabi, the NOSM-AMS Hannah Chair in the History of Indigenous Health and Indigenous Traditional Medicine . Indigenous Medicine Stories aims to educate health professionals and the public about Indigenous healing. The podcast will highlight the lived experiences of Indigenous Knowledge holders, healers, and Elders and help professionals who practice Indigenous healing. Since time immemorial, Indigenous Peoples held a knowledge system of wellness, healing, and medicine. Colonial processes such as Treaties, the Reserve system, the Indian Act of Canada, Residential Schools, child welfare policies, racism, discrimination, and excluding Indigenous healing in Western biomedicine and education have attempted to erase this knowledge system. Furthermore, until recently, the health education professions have played a role by excluding Indigenous knowledge from the curriculum. Also known as Anishinaabe mshkiki nwii-dbaaddaan (“I'm going to talk about Indigenous medicine”) in Anishinaaabemowin, medicine stories explore the perseverance and holism of Indigenous well-being and healing practices through the lived experiences of practitioners. https://www.ams-inc.on.ca/people/dr-darrel-manitowabi/

A lot of settlers in so-called Canada want to walk the path of reconciliation with the Indigenous peoples who have always been here. On our last episode of season 1, we're joined by Riley Yesno to discuss the land back movement that seeks to reclaim Indigenous rights and rebalance our relationships with one another and the land. Riley is an Anishinaabe scholar, writer, and commentator from Eabametoong First Nation. She has been a contributor and commentator for some of the largest media outlets in Canada and the world, including the New York Times, BBC World News, The Globe and Mail, and CBC National News. Her main project right now is teaching Indigenous governance and justice at Toronto Metropolitan University, and completing her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto, where she studies Indigenous/Canadian politics and is a Vanier Scholar.

From humble activist beginnings, Leo Baskatawang walked across Canada with the Indian Act tied to his ankle in 2012, and is now an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Manitoba.

In September 2022, Enbridge and 23 First Nations and Metis communities announced that the Indigenous groups would buy an 11.57% non-operating interest in Enbridge operated pipelines in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta for $1.12 Billion – it has been called the first of its kind and an historic announcement. This week, Justin Bourque, President of Athabasca Indigenous Investments and Colin Gruending, Enbridge's Executive Vice President and President of Liquids Pipelines join the podcast to tell us more about the agreement.   Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Justin and Colin:  How will the agreement help the 23 communities who are now equity partners in the pipeline system?  How did Athabasca Indigenous Investments finance their share of the pipeline for over $1 billion? What was the process like – who made the first phone call and how long did it take to come to an agreement? Do you foresee more equity partnerships occurring in the future? What is your advice for how companies should participate in Indigenous reconciliation? Content referenced in this podcast: Book Recommendation: 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act by Bob Joseph  Enbridge's Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan including the artwork of Jason Carter  Athabasca Indigenous Investments   Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/  

MPR News host Angela Davis is heading to South Africa for an 11-day tour of the country. She will travel with a small group of public radio listeners from Minnesota and eight other states. They'll visit historic sites in Johannesburg and Cape Town, and they'll meet people who lived through apartheid, white people and non-white people were separated and lived very different lives. Apartheid ended in 1994. Before the trip, Angela Davis spoke with Siyabulela Mandela, the great-grandson of former South African president Nelson Mandela. Screenshot via Videocall MPR News Host Angela Davis spoke with Siyabulela Mandela, the great-grandson of former South African president Nelson Mandela. Siyabulela Mandela was in Minnesota in the spring of 2022 for a month-long residency at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University. Angela Davis and Siyabulela Mandela talked about South African and American history, Mandela's experience in Minnesota and healing racial division. Guest: Courtesy of Journalists for Human Rights Portrait of Siyabulela Mandela, the great-grandson of former South African president Nelson Mandela. Siyabulela Mandela is the regional project manager for East and Southern Africa at Journalists for Human Rights. He holds a Ph.D. in International Relations and Conflict Resolution from Nelson Mandela University, which is named for his great-grandfather, the late former president of South Africa and Nobel Peace Prize winner. You can follow Angela's trip to South Africa on Twitter, Facebook and TikTok. Here are eight key moments from the conversation. The following transcript has been edited for length and clarity. Click the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. Why is it so significant for you to be introduced as Madiba, your South African clan name? Madiba Mandela: It is a way to introduce myself in a very decolonial way, and that is by locating myself in the history of my people in the African continent. History shows how deep the trauma of slavery and segregation has been to our fellow brothers and sisters in the United States. That also speaks to the specific reasons why white men decided to strip us of our own identity and dignity so that we do not know who we are and where we come from. If you ask many of white folks in different states, they are configured according to where they come from. There's something very powerful about knowing who you are, and where you come from, and I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors, so I can feel myself embraced with the blanket of wisdom, that would enable me to articulate myself clearly in any particular space that I'm placed in to deliver whatever message that I'm supposed to deliver. What was it like for you to be around Nelson Mandela when you were growing up? Madiba Mandela: I could recognize the significance and the contribution that Madiba (Nelson Mandela) has made to the history of my people, to the history of my country and the continent, when I was in high school, heading to university. Growing up, I didn't really understand the fascination around this old man. All I remember was that every Christmas, he had this tradition of bringing together all children from across nearby villages to come into his house, and get them Christmas presents, some food and some entertainment. He had a very close relationship with young people. He has always been that old man who was always concerned about what people were doing, what they were studying, and what they wanted to be. Of course, surrounded by this cloud of political leaders. I didn't know they were political leaders at the time. I was a toddler in the prime times of his administration, and by the time I was able to understand, he had left the government probably 10 years ago and just engaged in humanitarian work. Carrying Nelson Mandela's name, do you feel a sense of urgency to use your youth to continue this work as a human rights activist and scholar? Madiba Mandela: Of course, his legacy and his history have an enormous influence on the work that I'm currently doing. This generation has a collective responsibility to build upon the foundation that Mandela and his generation have created for us. We're enjoying these limited freedoms, freedoms that they did not enjoy during their time. They dedicated their lives to fight so that the generations yet to come, did not have to endure the very same injustice of the apartheid regime. We, therefore, should push further the frontiers of oppression, segregation, and all forms of injustice so that history does not repeat itself. When they managed to defeat the apartheid regime in South Africa, Mandela was quoted arguing that our freedom is not complete, until the freedom of the people of Palestine, who are currently experiencing the Israeli apartheid system, and all the oppressed people around the world. In the United States, there are indigenous communities who are still experiencing the remnants of the Indian Act, the remnants of the segregation system and the infringement of rights, or the skewed patterns of economic distribution, particularly for Black people. The United States systematically uses the law to infringe on and segregate one group from another. People of color and Black people are systematically targeted by the police, killed and in prisons, the majority are Black and people of color. That is systematic racism. That is something we must speak against and hold our governments to account when they do not question countries such as the United States when perpetuating such injustices. What are your thoughts about racial disparities in the state of Minnesota? Madiba Mandela: America has been so great in marketing itself, as a model around the world, a system of democracy and a form of leadership that everyone aspires to taste the American dream. But for us who have been to America several times, it seems as though I am in the devil's house. I was socialized and raised in a very racist environment, but the kind of racism I experienced in Minnesota was completely different and you can even sense it in institutions of higher learning. I remember two encounters raised a lot of disputes about my existence within that space. I remember receiving a call from my university, back in South Africa telling me a university in the United States wanted to authenticate whether I had a Ph.D. In the second encounter, I received a call from my family saying they have been contacted by a member of the University of St. John questioning whether I was a relative of the Mandela family. That's the kind of racism that I dealt with. I've never experienced that kind of racism in South Africa. I was so exhausted by the time I left Minnesota, I was thinking to myself: “when am I going to catch a break?” because I grew up in a racist country, and I move to another country hoping I will escape that kind of racism, but when I got there I am confronted with the western racism. I'm not surprised or shocked to hear the Minnesota statistics. But what is puzzling is how America Projects itself in the world as this perfect country and the perfect nation, and yet when you go inside, you get to understand, we are better off than America. I remember we had a public discussion with a panel of academics, I was one of those panelists at the University of St. John's. The theme came from a song that questioned why slave owners appeared in U.S. dollars. One would have thought that when the country was emerging out of segregation and out of slavery, it would have done a lot of transformation. In South Africa, these are things that we dealt with because these soft powers are things that invoke that trauma. In fact, we even went as far as to ban the apartheid flag. It is unconstitutional, a criminal offense. But to have a country like the U.S. that has had a democracy for probably over 100 years, but still has the faces of slave owners in their currencies, and that continues as normal, was quite interesting. And to see an institution only discussing that in 2022, was quite disappointing. Nelson Mandela talked so much about forgiveness. Have you seen it work in your life, or what do you think about it today? Madiba Mandela: In the West, there is the tendency to romanticize Nelson Mandela's legacy as this peace-loving individual, and who was preaching forgiveness against everything else that stood in the way. And that is a false narrative. The forgiveness aspect comes within the context of the truth and reconciliation process. If we can go back, investigate and analyze what went wrong in the past, and the perpetrators of such injustices during colonialism and apartheid can come forward and shed light on the injustice, then maybe we can find ways in which we can heal as a nation, as we move forward and reconcile. In that process of moving forward, of reconciling, then we find forgiveness. Reconciliation is only possible through truth-telling. For instance, in the truth and reconciliation process in South Africa, there was an amnesty committee, which was all about forgiving those who committed these injustices, and there was a committee that focused on bringing out compensation to the victims of the apartheid regime. Here we're talking about the transformation process. We're talking about giving the land back that was stolen by the white minority back to the people, and that is where the forgiveness process comes into existence. Now that we have finally negotiated a settlement, we can then forgive them. The West notion and concept of forgiveness is that we had a negotiated settlement, we went to vote, and we forgave one another, which is a false narrative. Nelson Mandela was, in fact, a man who in the 1960s, realized that violence was a way to respond to the government that was using violence against defensiveness and unarmed people. So their own conclusion in the 1990s was to adopt a different shift than Martin Luther King's, which is the use of violence as a means to bring down the apartheid regime to the negotiation table. What the education system from the West seems to advance is the notion that you can do injustice to people, and those people can forgive you. And that is a very false narrative because forgiveness is the final phase of the process, it is not the beginning. The United States throughout its history of segregation, slavery, violence and racism never went through a process of truth and reconciliation. But yet, countries that have gone through similar systems of oppression and violence have adopted a system that will enable the nation to move forward. Nations like Argentina, Chile, and Germany. How to have civil conversations about race that promote understanding? Madiba Mandela: I did four months of my Ph.D. research in the School of Conflict Analysis, and Resolution at George Mason University, Virginia and I got to witness an academic lecture where professionals were Black and white Americans, academics, were very angry with each other, to the point where they couldn't even listen to one another and they insulted each other. That is because people have been so frustrated for the longest time, and the government has failed to provide a platform where these front frustrations are ventilated. When such frustrations are building up then you experience what psychologists call the displacement of frustration-aggression. That explains to a certain extent, the level of violence that is within American society. I think processes such as the truth and reconciliation process can actually do a long way in dealing with so much anger, and actually make it easier to address issues of race. In South Africa, we speak about race freely, and we engage with our professionals, directly on race issues. Of course, we're not perfect, we're still going through a lot of challenges, but at least we are at the level where we can engage openly on issues of race. Racism is a criminal offense, that's how far we have gone in South Africa. So it has gotten to that level that because we are comfortable engaging in race relations, we have been able to create a system in place through the law to hold those who advance racism openly to account in the court of law and even be arrested for such a criminal offense. I don't think the United States is anywhere close to getting to that level. What can we expect in our interactions in South Africa? Madiba Mandela: You'll find people from different walks of life. We have 11 official languages including the colonial language, which is English. We have created a multiparty democracy where everyone has an opportunity and a voice to contribute. But what you are also going to experience is a different perspective. We have a system that was a liberation system or movement that was not complete, it only ended with the transfer of political power without the transfer of economic power. You're going to experience a situation where even though the country has transitioned from apartheid to democracy, people are still suffering, many are still without access to basic human rights, and many are still going through their racial systems of oppression, particularly in the Western Cape and Cape Town. You're going to see how white people are so racist, and in certain spaces, they will actually question whether you are supposed to be in that space. Those are some of the realities of South Africa. But I would say, if you come with an open mind you'll enjoy it. In the midst of such challenges, we are still happy people. We still celebrate our cultures and our history as well. What are you encouraged by right now, as you think about the present and the future? Madiba Mandela: I find strength and hope in the sacrifices that were made by the previous generation. I always think that if the generation of Mandela, the generation of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and many other heroes, were able to advance their struggles in their own time, if they were able to achieve what they have achieved, and lay the foundation for us, who would then stop us to continue that fight, given the opportunities that we have. If Nelson Mandela finished his law degree while he was in prison, then what would stop me from getting as many degrees as possible to empower myself to engage more effectively in the fight that we are in today? Education is the most important tool we can use to change the world. I had to go through education before I became an activist. That is the place from which I draw my strength. It is from those sacrifices. It is from that resilience and from that spirit to fight and move forward.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith recently apologized for comparing Ottawa's treatment of Albertans to the treatment of Indigenous people under the Indian Act. Author Bob Joseph joins us to discuss what many Canadians still misunderstand about the Act.

In November 2012, a remarkable movement began. Indigenous people across Canada pledged that they'd be Idle No More. It was in response to proposed legislation that many believed would take the relationship between Indigenous people and Canada backwards. Bill C-45 would affect the Indian Act, the Navigable Waters Protection Act and the Environmental Protection Act. Thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people took action. They used teach-ins, flash mob round dances and rallies to try and stop the bill. It was a resistance movement that shook a nation. And this year Idle No More is 10 years old. This week on Unreserved, we talk to those who were part of the movement to find out how the drum beat of Idle No More continues to reverberate in our hearts, our communities and around the world. Sylvia McAdam and Sheelah McLean are two of the founders of Idle No More. Along with Nina Wilson and Jessica Wilson, the four Saskatchewan women began to spread the word through social media and used teach-ins to educate people about the 400-page omnibus bill. Soon, the movement spread across the country and eventually around the world. Idle No More called out to Indigenous people to rise and Widia Larivière answered that call. In the early days, the enthusiasm she saw sweeping the country hadn't quite reached Quebec. So Widia set out to organize the first rally in that province and it lit a fire in her that continues in her work today with Mikana, an organization that educates the public about Indigenous realities and experiences. On December 22, 2012, bustling Christmas shoppers at Winnipeg's Polo Park Mall were met with a 4000-strong Idle No More round dance. People wearing ribbon shirts, skirts and regalia replaced the winter clad crowd. Drum beats overtook the carols being played over the intercom and soon both levels were lined with dancing people. Aiden Todd brought her then 6-year-old daughter Ryleigh to the round dance that day to make sure her daughter felt the strength and resistance of her community.

In Honour of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada I am re-releasing one of my favourite episodes. Assistant Professor Matthew Wildcat breaks down the history and meaning of Canadian Treaties with Indigenous people. He explains that we are all treaty people and that everyone has a role to play in upholding the rights and freedoms treaties represent.ResourcesMatthew WildcatSponsorsWest FraserGreenLink Forestry Inc.Damaged TimberQuotes1.29.25 - 1.29.37: “In the Canadian situation, what decolonization means is that you have to shift from becoming somebody who is a colonizer to somebody who is a treaty partner.”TakeawaysGovernance (5.14)Matthew is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Native Studies at the University of Alberta, interested in how Indigenous peoples govern today. Laws (10.01)First nations politics cannot be spoken about without addressing its relationship with Canadian society. Two-way (17.13)Treaties are the nuances of the relationship Indigenous peoples share with settlers. Foundation (21.22)Understand treaties as the reason for Canada's creation, to prevent it from devolving into a story of conquest. Symbiosis (29.09)Hudson's Bay Company relied on Indigenous peoples to perform their fur trade and sell them food. Bison (32.57)Bison herds were collapsing, which were the pillars of Indigenous economies and food. Signing (35.36)Not many Indigenous peoples spoke English, but many non-native people spoke Cree. Indigenous peoples used interpreters during negotiations, but a lot was lost in translation. Understanding (38.32)Indigenous peoples did not look to draw boundaries but expected that their permission be sought before sharing land.The Indian Act (43.24)The Indian Act was meant to enfranchise native people to become “full Canadian citizens” so there would no longer be “an Indian problem”. Dishonouring (48.10)The Riel Resistance of 1885 was bubbling with the general discontent with treaty terms not being honoured. Barriers (54.30)Many policies implemented by the Department of Indian Affairs undercut Indigenous farming efforts. Trauma (1.00.43)The ever-present trauma that residential school survivors suffer from makes life difficult. Reserves (1.04.02)Reserves isolate people and prevent communities from linking. Many Indian agents disallowed people to leave the reserve without a pass.Difficulty (1.09.33)Residential schools not only affected the students, but also the parents who had to live without children on their reserves. he can see how addictions could arise in such situations.Relationships (1.15.05)The most important aspect of this era is a willingness to have a relationship with Indigenous peoples, with their variety of life experiences and views. Allyship (1.21.13)As treaty partners, we all have to believe that Indigenous peoples have political rights, which will form the basis of the political relationships between us.Partnership (1.26.07)We have to put more effort into thinking about how Indigenous peoples will prosper and become true treaty partners in recognizing the political relationship. Change (1.36.12)The concepts of truth and reconciliation have allowed non-Indigenous peoples to tie the current situation of Indigenous peoples with its historical reasons.
