This episode of Hawk Droppings focuses on the Day of Truth and Reconciliation and the history of Native American / Indigenous boarding schools in the United States / Canada. Hawk, shares his recent journey of learning about the indigenous peoples who originally inhabited the land where he now lives in Marin County, California. He discusses the Coast Miwok tribe and his efforts to educate himself about their history and culture.Hawk then moves into the dark history of Native American / Indigenous boarding schools, which were established by the governments of Canada and the United States, often in collaboration with the Catholic Church. These schools forcibly removed indigenous children from their families and communities, subjected them to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, and attempted to eradicate their cultural identities. He discusses recent discoveries of mass graves at former school sites and the ongoing investigations into these atrocities.The episode concludes with Hawk reflecting on his own privilege and the importance of acknowledging and learning from this painful history. He emphasizes the need for truth, reconciliation, and continued awareness of ongoing issues affecting indigenous communities, such as the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.

Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday the 12th of August, 2024. On Monday of last week Homelessness Australia released its Child Homelessness Snapshot, illuminating the state of the growing crisis in this continent. To help us dissect the snapshot's results, Rob spoke with CEO of Homelessness Australia, Kate Colvin. New data released by the Productivity Commission reveals the rate of Indigenous children in out-of-home care in so-called Victoria rose from 102.2 children per 1,000 to 102.9 per 1,000 in the 12 months leading up to the end of the 2023 financial year. This represents 10 percent of Indigenous children in so-called Victoria and is nearly double the national average; Indigenous children in 'Victoria' are 22 times more likely to be in out-of-home care than non-Indigenous children. To learn more about the conditions creating this crisis as well as the Productivity Commission's findings, we heard from Yoorrook Justice Commission's Deputy Chair and Commissioner Sue-Ann Hunter. Listeners are encouraged to read the recommendations made by the Yoorrook Justice Commission and to make submissions (click here). On Friday the 9th of August the NSW Labor Party delayed hearing amendments to Equality legislation which would protect LGBTQI+ students in the state until October. The move came days before the bill was set to lapse after not being heard in Parliament. To find out more about the bill and its amendments, Rob interviewed Quay Quay of Pride in Protest, an activist collective who campaign for social justice in the Queer community and beyond. To keep up to date with what Pride in Protest is doing, follow their Instagram.  On Tuesday the 6th of August around 60 asylum seekers launched a 24/7 protest outside incoming Immigration Minister Tony Burke's office in protest of the estimated 10,000 asylum seekers who are victims of the failed fast track system, which has left people stuck for up to 12 years as they wait on bridging or expired visas. To get an update on the protest, Rob spoke with Thamilselvan Selvakumar who is on the ground outside Tony Burke's office. Thamilselvan is a Sri Lankan Eelam Tamil Refugee who has been in limbo for 12 years on a bridging visa.  Songs played: 'Tied Through Time' - Outright'Tend The Garden' - Gang of Youths 'Don't Let The Kids Win' - Julia Jacklin'We Have Survived' - No Fixed Address

In 2014, a U.S. brainwave scientist claimed he could increase people's creativity and cure their traumas. And he got permission to experiment on Indigenous children in Canada, offering an all-expenses-paid trip to Victoria, B.C.But a decade later, some study participants say the testing they went through — which included staff attaching electrodes to their heads and being asked to talk about the most traumatic moments of their lives — wasn't what they signed up for and may have left side-effects.We hear from CBC's Geoff Leo about what his investigation turned up and why critics are demanding more accountability and transparency over how the study was approved in the first place.

Would you ever take in a child that wasn't your own? If you're imagining a relative, or a friend's child - the answer might be a simple, straightforward, “yes, of course!” But what if you didn't know the child? And, if, once you get to know them, bond with them, and love them, they could be taken away? That's the reality of foster parents across the world. In today's episode, we hear the story of one family who are raising their 5 children, including 2 foster children, on a remote cattle station in Australia. To add an extra layer of complexity to the situation, the foster children are Indigenous and the foster family are not.  As you'll hear today, it has been one of the hardest, yet most rewarding experiences for our guest.    **Please note, that we have chosen to de-identify all names and locations in this episode, to ensure anonymity.

On November 9th, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of Brackeen vs. Haaland. At the center of the case are the future of Indigenous rights and tribal sovereignty. The case involves the Indian Child Welfare Act, otherwise known as ICWA, an act that was passed in the 1970s to protect native children from removal from their community and culture and to keep families together. Texas, together with individual plaintiffs, allege that ICWA is unconstitutional because they say it violates the Equal Protection Clause and discriminates against non-native families looking to adopt native children. But honoring tribal sovereignty isn't about discrimination or race. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of Indigenous rights. To learn more about the case, the threat to Indigenous rights and the reasons that ICWA was enacted in the first place, we spoke with Jamie Nelson, a Choinumni Yokuts man and a survivor of pre-ICWA separation abuse, and Stephanie Amiotte, Legal Director for the ACLU of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming.

In 2021, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (the first Indigenous American to serve as a Cabinet Secretary in the US) called for an investigation into the Federal Native American Boarding School System. In May of this year, the first report was made from the investigation—it was the first acknowledgment by the US government that between 1819 and 1969 (150 years!), the United States operated or supported 408 boarding schools across 37 states (or then-territories), including 21 schools in Alaska and 7 schools in Hawaii. The report finds that indigenous children (American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian) were forcibly removed from their homes and suffered abuse, malnourishment, and even death in the boarding schools. So far, 53 burial sites for children have been found across the school system. Native Nations scholars estimate that as many as 40,000 children died. Many survivors live today and even shared their testimonies at a Congressional hearing earlier this year. This American history has been hidden for so long, but is now coming into the light. How ought we receive it? What can we do? How can we be used to advance justice, mercy, and light in what has been so dark? Let's not look away from this history, but look toward it, toward these precious image bearers who were lost and those who have descended from them. This history is near—both in time and place. Let's cry out to the God of all nations for healing.

For decades, Canadian activists have criticized the government in Ottawa for underfunding Indigenous communities, leading to various harms and hardships. The activists, led by Cindy Blackstock of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, sued the Canadian government in 2007, claiming that federal underfunding prompted First Nations children to end up in foster care in large numbers once residential schools were closed. The court battle dragged on for 15 years.But in January of this year, the federal government offered to pay C$40 billion to Indigenous children and families harmed by the child welfare system. It was the largest-ever proposed class action settlement in Canadian history—which some people are now calling a form of reparations. This week on The Negotiators podcast, Blackstock sits down with host Jenn Williams to discuss the tactics used in negotiations with the government and the conditions that led to a successful settlement.

Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan
Different test for best interest of indigenous children, public interest standing and nuisance bamboo

The week on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan:When children are believed to be at risk of harm in British Columbia, they can be apprehended by the director of the Ministry of Children and Families and placed with another family member or into foster care. Pursuant to the Child, Family and Community Service Act, a judge would then need to determine what was in the best interest of the child. This act sets out a list of factors a judge must consider when deciding what's in the best interest of the child. The first listed factor is the child's safety.In 2019 federal government enacted legislation pursuant to the federal government's constitutional authority with respect to aboriginal people in Canada that also deals with protecting children. The legislation is called An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families. The federal legislation takes priority over the provincial legation. It sets out different criteria that judges must consider when determining what's in the best interests of an Indigenous child. The first criteria are not safety but rather “the child's cultural, linguistic, religious and spiritual upbringing and heritage”.In a court case discussed on the show, a judge needed to determine what was in the best interest of four children of a mother who self-identified as indigenous. The woman believed she was indigenous, though her mother, even though the first nation she believed she belonged to, did not recognize either her or her late mother as being a member. The mother of the apprehended children had experienced a tragic and traumatic childhood. Her father died in a car accident when she was very young and her mother, who was a severe drug addict, died a few years later. She then spent some time in a home described as “unstable and abusive” before she dropped out of school in grade 10 and began abusing drugs and alcohol. She never had a job and survived on social assistance. The fathers of her four children were not actively involved in their lives, and one of the fathers has a lengthily criminal record with convictions for violence and sexual offences. One of the apprehended children has physical and cognitive disabilities. That child was born prematurely after its father assaulted the mother while she was pregnant and then refused to bring the mother to the hospital for two days after she when into premature labour. The children were apprehended due to what the judge described as reasonable grounds to believe the children had been or were like to be physically harmed because of neglect and immediate danger to their health and safety. Despite these concerns, the judge hearing the case applied the criteria applicable to indigenous children and ordered the children to be returned to the mother with the hope that sufficient social services intervention could keep them safe. The judge references the harm from the “sixties scoop” and concerns about placing indigenous children with non-indigenous foster families.  A SCC case involving “public interest standing” is also discussed. This concept permits a person or organization to bring a court challenge dealing with an issue that doesn't directly impact them. In this case, the Council of Canadians with Disabilities will be permitted to challenge BC legislation that permits involuntary psychological treatment. Finally, a case involving a $2,000 award for nuisance caused by a neighbour who planted “running bamboo” along their property line. The bamboo invaded the property next door and required an underground barrier to be installed to stop it from proliferating. Follow this link for links to the cases discussed.

The government of Canada will pay $20 billion dollars to Indigenous children and their families following a historic settlement. The agreement, just finalized, compensates Indigenous children harmed through discriminatory practices by the First Nations Child and Family Services from 1991 to 2022. Another $20 billion will go toward reforming the federal child welfare service that allowed thousands of Indigenous children to fall through gaps. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce discusses the history that led up to the settlement and the changes in store that could make a difference going forward with Mary Burton (Cree), executive director and co-founder of Fearless R2W; Cora Morgan (Sagkeeng), First Nations Family Advocate from the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs; and Dr. Jacqueline Marie Maurice (Métis descendant), CEO of the Sixties Scoop Healing Foundation.

**Warning: This episode contains details that some listeners may find distressing**It's been a year since the unmarked graves of 215 Indigenous children — some of them as young as three years old — were found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. In this episode, Vinita speaks to Veldon Coburn, assistant professor at the Institute of Indigenous Research and Studies at the University of Ottawa about what happened, the widespread grief and outcry and the immediate political response, but also, how none of that lasted despite communities continuing to find bodies. Joining Vinita on the episode is Haley Lewis, Don't Call Me Resilient producer and culture and society editor at The Conversation Canada. Lewis is mixed Kanyen'keha:ká from Tyendinaga and led our coverage of the findings last year.Show notes:https://theconversation.com/unmarked-graves-of-215-indigenous-children-were-found-in-kamloops-a-year-ago-whats-happened-since-podcast-182728 You can listen or subscribe to Don't Call Me Resilient on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.
