Relations between Canada and Indigenous Peoples have certainly evolved since The Agenda first began covering these issues in 2006. There was Stephen Harper's historic apology to former students of Residential Schools in 2008. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission that followed, led by the late Senator Murray Sinclair. The Idle No More movement of the early 2010s. And much more. As we mark National Indigenous History Month, we thought we'd look back at some of these flashpoints in our history, and find out how much progress has been made.

The Māori women and girls of New Zealand who have survived sexual violence face a double trauma when accessing care, according to Māori activists.Worldwide, nearly one in three women will experience gender-based violence, a statistic that is even higher amongst Indigenous women and girls, especially in the Māori community.Due to the stigma surrounding sexual violence, and the lack of cultural awareness in the healthcare system, Māori women and girls rarely report instances of sexual violence.During the 24th session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, currently being held at the UN Headquarters in New York, UN News's Emma Trager-Lewis sat down with Kerri Nuku, Director of the New Zealand Nurses's Organisation; and Tracey Morgan, Chair of the College of Primary HealthCare Nurses in New Zealand.Both women are Māori activists participating in the forum and began by introducing themselves in both Māori and English.

Elsa Stamatopoulou's Indigenous Peoples in the International Arena: The Global Movement for Self-Determination (Routledge 2025) provides a definitive account of the creation and rise of the international Indigenous Peoples' movement. In the late 1970s, motivated by their dire situation and local struggles, and inspired by worldwide movements for social justice and decolonization, including the American civil rights movement, Indigenous Peoples around the world got together and began to organize at the international level. Although each defined itself by its relation to a unique land, culture, and often language, Indigenous Peoples from around the world made an extraordinary leap, using a common conceptual vocabulary and addressing international bodies that until then had barely recognized their existence. At the intersection of politics, law, and culture, this book documents the visionary emergence of the international Indigenous movement, detailing its challenges and achievements, including the historic recognition of Indigenous rights through the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007. The winning by Indigenous Peoples of an unprecedented kind and degree of international participation – especially at the United Nations, an institution centered on states – meant overcoming enormous institutional and political resistance. The book shows how this participation became an increasingly assertive self-expression and even an exercise of self-determination by which Indigenous Peoples could both benefit from and contribute to the international community overall – now, crucially, by sharing their knowledge about climate change, their approaches to development and well-being, and their struggles against the impact of extractive industries on their lands and resources. Written by the former Chief of the Secretariat of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, this book will be of interest to researchers, teachers, students, advocates, practitioners, and others with interests in Indigenous legal and political issues. Elsa Stamatopoulou is Director of the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Program and Adjunct Professor in the Institute for the Study of Human Rights, the Department of Anthropology, and the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race at Columbia University, USA. Elsa is also Former (the first) Chief of the Secretariat of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (among other functions at the UN).

Brandi Morin is INCREDIBLE. She's one of Canada's most influential journalists. She's an author, advocate, and mother who was arrested for covering Edmonton Police's violent indigenous tent community. She's been targeted for her reporting before, but this was different. Brandi has been a journalist covering Indigenous issues for 20 years, and the story of her arrest for the crime of doing journalism while Indigenous is appalling. Brandi details her experience, what it means for journalism in Canada, and how performative Canada's "Truth and Reconciliation" movement is in Alberta, especially. Wait till you hear what Edmonton Police did for the people they beat and cleared out of that community to give them "better lives." This is a must-listen/must-watch podcast for every Canadian with empathy who gives a shit about democracy and humanity.

Indigenous issues such as land grabbing, and healthcare, in the US receive little to no media coverage. This is because reporters do not consider these stories important enough. Tristan Ahtone (Kiowa), editor at large at Grist, suggests that hiring Indigenous journalists to work in newsrooms is the easiest way to address this problem. If that's not feasible, news organizations can collaborate with Indigenous reporters at other outlets. There are various ways to ensure that journalism is safeguarded and that the best possible work is produced.

”United Nation Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues 22nd Session: 17-28 April 2023 Highlights on Indigenous Peoples, human health, planetary and territorial health and climate change: a rights-based approach” Indigenous peoples are approximately 5% of the world's population, manage at least 25% of the world's land surfaces, 40% of the world's protected areas, and steward about 80% of the world's biodiversity. Each year Indigenous peoples from scores of different nations and cultures across Mother Earth convene at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) in the settler colonial city, state, and nation-state New York City, New York, United States. Here, Indigenous peoples express their grievances at the most well-known international political body (i.e., the United Nations) even though after 100 years of existence between the League of Nations and the United Nations, Indigenous peoples' rights continue to be ignored, violated, and threatened. The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) is a high- level advisory body to the Economic and Social Council. The Forum was established on 28 July 2000 by resolution 2000/22, with the mandate to deal with indigenous issues related to economic and social development, culture, the environment, education, health and human rights. On today's program we hear testimonies from Indigenous peoples throughout Turtle Island regarding a wide range of struggles and issues. The Indigenous testimonies are from the April 18th and April 19th, 2023, sessions only. Revealing, powerful, and shameful for the nation-states across Mother Earth knowingly, willfully, and complicitly are committing acts of genocides. The voices of Indigenous peoples and organizations, along with the intervention by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples are highlighted and can be heard throughout the hour. If you like what you hear, then support KPFK (www.kpfk.org) and pick the up the book, Pagans in the Promise Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery for $100:00 and/or the DVD: The Doctrine of Discovery, Unmasking The Domination Code (2014) dir.

Rick of the Decolonized Buffalo podcast joins me to talk about Leftist misconceptions regarding Indigenous issues. An Indigenous socialist who is a member of the Comanche Nation, Rick has spent time organizing with PLS and the Socialist Party. While he advocates for getting involved in organizing, he has had a number of problematic, often racist experiences with non-Natives in Leftist organizing spaces. Rick shares these experiences, explaining that they often stem from racist misconceptions regarding Indigenous history, issues, and social structures.You can listen to the Decolonized Buffalo podcast on Apple , Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts!

Welcome to day 9 of our Sundance/Slamdance Film Festival coverage! Joined again by our Park City cohort & honorary bitch John Wildman of Films Gone Wild, we're highlighting a Sundance film and series that focus on Indigenous issues. Twice Colonized is a documentary that tells the story of Aaju Peter, a Greenlandic Inuit lawyer and activist who is working to bring her colonizers in both Canada and Denmark to justice, and defend the human rights of Indigenous peoples of the Arctic.  We had the pleasure of sitting down with Aaju Peter and director Lin Alluna, to discuss the difficulty of following Aaju through some of the toughest moments in anyone's life, the importance of bringing some light and fun into the film, and what it means to be Twice Colonized.The episodic docu-series Murder in Big Horn gives a thorough examination of the tribal members and communities in Big Horn, Montana who are fighting an epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) that has been reoccurring since colonization. Directors Razelle Benally and Matthew Galkin discuss how these social issues can be traced all the way back from the roots of being placed on the reservation, the frustration and anger that comes with not receiving sufficient help from the police, and how the community is left to pick up the pieces. You can watch Murder in Big Horn now on Showtime. Follow Twice Colonized on IGFollow lawyer/activist Aaju Peter on TwitterFollow director Lin Alluna on IGFollow director Razelle Benally on IGFollow director Matthew Galkin on IG--Thanks for listening and for your support!

In this episode we discuss the unique dichotomy of spiritual life in Muscogee culture between traditional and ceremonial practices and Christianity and Muscogee churches. We talk with Rev. Chebon Kernell, a clergy and representative of the Native American Comprehensive Plan of The United Methodist Church, who is also an active member of Helvpe Ceremonial Ground, about the existence of the two ways of life and how they have shaped the culture of Muscogees today. It's a "Conversation From our Reservation" many years in the making, and it's only on The Muscogee Pod! --- The Rev. Kernell, an ordained Elder in the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference, is formerly the executive secretary of Native American and Indigenous Ministries for the denomination's General Board of Global Ministries. In this role, he has worked with the World Council of Churches, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the United Methodist Church's Council of Bishops assisting in a denominationally mandated effort to improve relationships with Indigenous communities through dialogue, study and local or regional acts of repentance acknowledging harms inflicted upon Indigenous communities. He is a citizen of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma and is of Muscogee heritage. In 2016 he was honored by receiving the Religious Literacy Award sponsored by the Westar Institute for, "his tireless efforts to educate the general public, including not only mainstream American Christians but also native peoples themselves, about the ‘deep and broad religious riches' of Indigenous peoples in the context of reconciliation work and the recovery of native practices.“ He received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Oklahoma City University and a Master of Divinity from Phillips Theological Seminary. He is a cultural practitioner and member of the Helvpe Ceremonial grounds. He has been married to Sara for 18 years and has five children: Kaycee, Josiah, Raylen, and Solomon and niece Cali. Among is many achievements, Chebon has also contributed to Steven Charleston's book, "Coming Full Circle: Constructing Native Christian Theology."

A powerful live talk with Brandon Maka'awa'awa, the Vice President of the independent Nation of Hawaii. Brandon came to visit our land for a few days and we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to meet him and experience his wisdom. In this live discussion, we explore the Indigenous Nation Sovereignty of Hawai and the Hawaiian people by exploring the consequences of colonialism on the culture and ecology of the island. In this powerful discussion with Brandon Maka'awa'awa we aim to better understand the complexities and opportunities of sovereignty restoration and the unique project of Pu'uhonua O Waimanalo. What can we learn from this particular project for the general goal of restoring Native sovereignty, how to navigate the complexity of the capitalistic and political systems, and how this ecological, social, and political project can be a frame for the general modeling of different ways to grow together in the midst of climate collapse and the restoration of social & economical justice. Brandon Maka'awa'awa is the Vice President of the independent Nation of Hawaii.  He assists President Dennis Bumpy Kanahele in the day-to-day operations of Pu'uhonua O Waimanalo, the Nation's sovereign land base in which they are restoring the ancient and modern technology-enabled Ahupua'a ecosystem.  Brandon also leads the Nation of Hawaii's delegation to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, where he has given many interventions on Hawaiian National Sovereignty, peaceful coexistence, reconciliation, indigenous economic development, and innovation.   Brandon is also President of Na Po'e Kokua, a non-profit organization that advocates for the development of more affordable housing options for Hawaiians.  Brandon advocates on behalf of the Nation of Hawai'i at all levels of government on different issues impacting Hawaiians and their rights.,

Walk into any library, and the world is revealed, from tall tales and vital truths to oral histories and picture books. It's no wonder that these magical repositories of imagination and knowledge also contain some of the coolest, most subversive, and most innovative people on the planet: librarians.  Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski goes directly to the source. She chats with Eli Guinnee, New Mexico State Librarian, and the incomparable Jean Whitehorse, Outreach Librarian, Tribal Libraries Program in Crownpoint, NM, on the Navajo Nation. Eli provides background on the state library's programs and initiatives while Jean educates listeners on everything else. That's not hyperbole; Jean is an astonishing font of information, determination, and wisdom behind the circulation desk. The New Mexico State Library is a vital hub, offering career training, financial literacy, computer competency, and infrastructure advocacy programs. Jean's approach to librarianship mirrors her approach to life––examine systems, identify the inequities, and take action. “There's always another way,” she says, referencing the creative problem-solving spirit that her father passed down to her. Jean's macro-micro sensibility has garnered her invitations to speak around the world. She's even addressed The United Nations' Permanent Committee on Indigenous Issues. But no matter how far afield she travels, Jean remains rooted in Navajo Nation. “I grew up in a hogan with a dirt floor. I'm the daughter of a Navajo Code Talker,” she says, pride mingling with a bit of impatience. There's still so much she wants to accomplish.  Here's hoping we'll find Jean behind the circulation desk for another 25 years. Visit the New Mexico State Library to learn more about its programs and initiatives.  If you're in Santa Fe, drop by the library at 209 Camino Carlos Rey for research and browsing.

The Black Lives Matter social justice movement called attention to just how unbalanced public awareness and recognition is for Native American issues. Native people and their allies took to the streets, toppling statues and monuments that civic leaders long ago established to promote a decidedly white, colonialist—sometimes racist—viewpoint. Now elected officials are pondering what to […]
