Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Gayle Desmeules to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Gayle joins us and shares her insights into how restorative practices rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing are transforming communities and workplaces in Canada. She highlights the significance of acknowledging traditional lands and celebrates National Indigenous History Month by reflecting on the resilience and heritage of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people. She delves into the power of restorative justice as a mechanism for truth and reconciliation, emphasizing its intersections with Indigenous legal systems and their relational worldviews. Gayle walks us through stories of impactful change at the local and government level. Gayle played a significant part on the expert restorative engagement panel initiated by the Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada. From this work, as well as collaboration from True Dialogue, and other mediation and restorative justice services, changes are being implemented in Canada. Gayle, a Métis Canadian citizen, has more than 30 years of experience training and facilitating community engagement and restorative resolution processes in child intervention services, justice, education, recreation, sport, and the energy sector. Raised traditionally, she discovered through her background and research that the roots of restorative justice originate from Indigenous legal systems. Gayle engaged in a participatory action research project to improve outcomes for Aboriginal children and families involved with child intervention services. Her work has been published by the Centre of Excellence for Child Welfare, Putting a human face on child welfare: Voices from the Prairies (2007), Chapter 8, “A Sacred Family Circle: Family Group Conferencing.” Gayle's company, True Dialogue, Inc., works to support a community's capacity to be restorative.

Today's episode I sit down and celebrate the importance of Indigenous History Month by conversing about the artists and organizers from Buffalo National Museum and Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park.
This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're in a summer mood, but there's no time to relax because there's a lot going on! First, we have to talk about the loud and growing group of people that want to deny history, and speaking of history, might Toronto be on the brink of electing its first female immigrant person of colour mayor? We're not here to tell the future, but our local MPP will be here to talk about the recent past in the interview. This Thursday, June 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Jewel of Denial. Kimberly Murray, the independent special interlocutor for the search for unmarked graves, delivered a report last week outlining several challenges and one of the biggest is the "increase in the violence of denialism." A concerted effort is underway to pretend that the atrocities at Canada's residential schools didn't happen despite the mound of evidence to the contrary, so we have to interrupt this National Indigenous History Month to talk about why people want to erase those dark chapters. Chow You See Me. And you may be seeing more of Olivia Chow if the polls turn out to be true! The former city councillor and Member of Parliament is all but assured victory in the Toronto Mayoral byelection Monday, and this despite all the salt in her game these last few days with former campaign rivals John Tory and Doug Ford both endorsing other candidates. Leaving aside the fact that she still has to win on Monday, what might the future look like for "Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow"? And Just Mike That... The Ontario Legislature rose for the summer last week, and that means Premier Doug Ford may be too busy at the cottage to blow up the regular order for a couple of months. As we stop to catch our breath, we're joined by Guelph MPP and Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner to talk about the first year of this term, trying to influence the government on his own housing ideas, and the provincial response to the wild fire smoke that's settled over much of Ontario this month. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday. Editor's Note: If you're a residential school survivor, or are a victim of the inter-generational trauma caused by residential schools, you can seek help for your pain and distress 24 hours a day by calling the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.

With this being National Indigenous History Month it seems appropriate to look at how our local government is adapting to make Indigenous communities a more active part of governance at City Hall. How can we acknowledge the history of the land and then refuse to give the traditional landholders more of a say in what happens upon it? We can't, and staff members at the City of Guelph are working on that. It was this time last year when we were all reckoning with our thoughts and feelings about the discovery of unmarked graves at former residential school sites. The City of Guelph has had an official land acknowledgement for almost six years now, but there was a pressing need to do more. A new position called the Intergovernmental Advisor Specializing in Indigenous Relations was created with the goal of leading the City's relationship-building with key First Nation and Métis government partners. Earlier this year, it was announced that Trevor Bomberry from the Mohawk Nation and a member of Six Nations of the Grand River was hired to fill the part, but in an example of just how in-demand smart, talented, and forward-looking Indigenous leaders really are, he's already moved on. Instead, we will address questions on this topic to Guelph Museums manager Tammy Adkin, and the City's manager of policy and intergovernmental relations Leslie Muñoz. In this edition of the podcast, Adkin will talk about how perceptions of the past are changing, how the museum staff are changing with the times, and how we can celebrate the existence of Guelph and Canada while acknowledging our difficult past. With Muñoz we will talk about the mechanics of engaging with the various Indigenous groups represented in Guelph, encouraging more participation, and the ongoing difficulties in trying to fill the new City's position meant to facilitate some of those changes So let's talk about Reconciliation out of City Hall on this week's Guelph Politicast! The City of Guelph is currently in the process of hiring a new Intergovernmental Advisor Specializing in Indigenous Relations and that job posting can be found on all the major job sites if you know someone highly qualified and looking for work. If you missed this year's National Celebration of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in Guelph, we will have some audio from the event on this week's Open Sources Guelph. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, Stitcher, Google, TuneIn and Spotify . Also, when you subscribe to the Guelph Politicast channel and you will also get an episode of Open Sources Guelph every Monday, and an episode of End Credits every Friday.

In this eye-opening discussion, Joe and Kyle learn about one family's connection to the earliest days of Victoria. Fern Perkins' ancestors were the first Métis family to call Victoria home. Her great, great, great, grandfather Charles Ross was friends with Sir James Douglas and helped build Fort Victoria for the Hudson's Bay Company in 1843. In a surprising twist that Fern didn't realize until later in life, her husband Mark also had ties to the early days of Victoria. Mark's great great great grandfather was Peter Skene Ogden, the man Ogden Point is named after. In this episode we learn about Fern's journey in discovering her Indigenous past. We also discuss reconciliation, land acknowledgements, the history of W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations, and Fern's message to everyone during this National Indigenous History Month.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: In recognition of National Indigenous History Month, radio broadcasters across Canada, including Bell Media, Corus Entertainment Inc., Rogers Sports & Media, Stingray Radio, and more, join together in an unprecedented collaboration to amplify, elevate, listen to, and learn from Indigenous voices with A DAY TO LISTEN on Wednesday, June 30. In partnership with the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF), A DAY TO LISTEN is dedicated to sharing stories from Indigenous leaders, residential school survivors, elders, musicians, and teachers throughout the day from 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. (local time). GUEST: Dr. Patricia Doyle-Bedwell, Native Studies Instructor with Dalhousie University - Unvaccinated workers returning to the office could be required to continue wearing masks, steer clear of common areas and face a staggered workday -- or may even be asked to stay home, experts say. As workplaces begin to reopen, employers are grappling with how to keep all workers safe -- including those who are unvaccinated. It's a situation that risks stigmatizing vaccine holdouts and potentially triggering workplace anxiety for some, according to human resources experts. Some employers have created incentives to encourage workers to get immunized against COVID-19, such as paid time off for inoculations and prizes like gift cards and company swag after a shot. Others are considering policies that make vaccination a necessary condition of employment that could see workers who choose not to be vaccinated for personal reasons out of work. GUEST: Patrick Stepanian, Legal Manager with Peninsula Canada - Ontario's new long-term care minister Rod Phillips apologized Tuesday for a provincial pandemic response that saw the deaths of nearly 4,000 long-term care residents with COVID-19. Speaking to reporters during his first news conference in the role, Phillips acknowledged his own government "failed" residents, their families and staff members. The response was a sharp contrast to the position taken by Phillips' predecessor, Merillee Fullerton, who repeatedly pointed the finger at previous governments among other factors. Phillips was also asked about the progress made on installing air conditioning in long-term care rooms, to which he replied that while all facilities are equipped with it, only about 60 per cent of rooms have air conditioning.

Hello Teacher BrainHeads Up: this episode may trigger (or as I like to refer to it, "activate") you. I encourage you not to shy away from your feelings. Allow them to come. Sit with them. Get curious. Don't be afraid of your emotions - whatever they may be. They are clues to what drives you (in either direction). Remember, the only dangerous emotion is a suppressed emotion.With this being National Indigenous History Month, and the recent discovery of mass unmarked graves at some of Canada's residential schools weighing heavily on my mind and heart recently. I didn't think I could do an episode on anything else this week.Below are some resources I've learned about recently - PLEASE share any that you know!!LINKS to Resources, People, Books, and Organizations I've Learned About Recently to Support Indigenous People, Groups, and Calls to Action94 Calls to Action - Truth & Reconciliation Commission of CanadaIndian Residential School Survivors Society Indigenous Peoples MovementNunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum - Voices From NunavutNative Women's Association of CanadaGood Reads List BooksBOOK TITLESThey Called Me Number One - Bev SellarsFive Little Indians - Michelle GoodThe Education of Augie Merasty - Joseph Auguste MerastyDear Canada, These Are My Words - Ruby SlipperjackBroken Circle - Theodore FontaineUp Ghost River - Edmund MetatawabinIndian Horse - Richard Wangamese (Also a movie on Netflix)Sugar Falls - David A.

TECH - 5-JUNE - 25 - 2021 - NATIONAL - INDIGENOUS - HISTORY - MONTH by Hunters Bay Radio
June is a special month as it's a time in which we celebrate National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day.It's also a time in which we share stories, teachings and traditions, and take action toward Truth and Reconciliation. With this in mind, we are excited to have guest host Doris Peltier take us through this month's episode as she and two special guests, Elder Albert McLeod and Dr. Randy Jackson with the Feast Centre for Indigenous STBBI Research, explore key inflection points of the Indigenous HIV movement in Canada. The response to HIV/AIDS in Indigenous communitiesThe historical narrative of the Indigenous HIV movement in Canada has not been told in a true historical sense with Indigenous peoples as the narrators of their own HIV history. The story of disease and the pathologizing of Indigenous peoples predate HIV and this pathogenic narrative is what mainstream Canada has gotten used to hearing and reading about when it comes to Indigenous people. Since the first reported HIV/AIDS case in North America 40 years ago, there continue to be many people who carry the historical narrative of the Indigenous HIV movement in Canada. Two of these people are Albert McLeod and Randy Jackson, and listeners are in for a real treat as the two discuss what took place in Indigenous communities and how particular leaders helped shape the response to HIV/AIDS.The episode will also feature art, the music of Burnt Project1 and David Boulanger, and personal narratives that will take us further in our exploration of the perspectives and experiences shared by Indigenous people as we honour the collective legacies of peoples and communities who are living with and/or affected by HIV/AIDS in Canada. This is one timely and important episode that you won't want to miss!Full episode detailsFor full episode details and more about our pozcast host and guests, visit the episode page on The Positive Effect website.

June is not only pride month, but National Indigenous History Month as well! Join us for a special crossover episode with CJSR's Acimowin, as double-host Shayna Giles (of both Gaywire and Acimowin)... CJSR 88.5 FM | CJSRNEWS.COM
June is not only Pride Month, but also National Indigenous History Month, and Hockey Alberta has been celebrating both throughout the month. Episode Thirteen of the Centre Ice Podcast features Glenn Witman, the Co-Founder of the You Can Play Project, and 2003 Canada Winter Games gold medalist and 2007 Memorial Cup Champion Wacey Rabbit, a proud member of the Kainai Nation.
Eamonn O'Neill, a journalist and co-host of the Talk Media Podcast speaks to us from Edinburgh about the decision by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to postpone the country's reopening plans; Dr. David Pichora of Kingston Health Sciences Centre tells us about the emergency airlift of COVID patients from Kashechewan in northern Ontario; Angela Mashford-Pringle is an Algonquin scholar and assistant professor at the University of Toronto. She offers her reaction to the provincial government's promise of $10 million years to help search, identify and commemorate residential school burial sites; Ian Taylor of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association tells us about their initiatives to help attract new players to the game; Recent studies have found that more women are drinking more alcohol - not so much for pleasure - but to cope. Psychotherapist Ann Dowsett Johnston, the author of 'Drink' discusses the findings; Danielle Big Canoe Snake, a librarian at Chippewas of Rama First Nation offers some her suggestions for some reading to mark National Indigenous History Month; Alexander Braun, a professor of geophysics at Queen's University in Kingston explains how Ground Penetrating Radar works - the technology that was used to detect the remains of the children who died at the residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia; Cathy Walton tells us the inspiration for her book, 'Vanishing Barns: Remembering the Gentle Giants Through Photographs, Stories, Diaries and Genealogy.'
The discovery of 215 young Indigenous people buried on the property of the old Kamloops Indian Residential School re-opened a great many old wounds in this country, and just in time for National Indigenous History Month. Nation-wide, there may be between 11,000 and 15,000 missing children unaccounted for, which means this story is only going to get worse before it gets better. It's safe to say that no John A. Macdonald statue or effigy in the country will be safe, but the destruction and beheading of statues is an expression of anger by Indigenous people and their allies. It's anger directed at government inaction, the Catholic Church's indifference, and those who say that this is the distant past, and that Indigenous people just need to “get over it.” This is an emotional issue, and it requires someone that can look at it with an analytical perspective. Fortunately, such expertise is readily available at the University of Guelph with Dr. David MacDonald. His book, The Sleeping Giant Awakens: Genocide, Indian Residential Schools, and the Challenge of Conciliation, came out in 2019 and made a case for calling the Indian Residential School system a genocide in Canada. It's hard to think of a more essential topic for this National Indigenous History Month, so let's talk about it on this week's edition of the podcast. MacDonald joins us to talk about how Canadian education is lacking when it comes to Indigenous history, and how we need to be able to talk about Canada's darker chapters, He will also talk about how he became interested in residential schools, and why he's comfortably calling it a genocide despite hesitation to do so in other quarters. And finally, he will discuss what the government and church should be doing right now in regards to residential schools, and how we can find the many missing Indigenous kids. So let's talk about the study of Canada's dark history on this week's episode of the Guelph Politicast! You can read MacDonald's most recent commentary at The Conversation, and you can still buy his book, The Sleeping Giant Awakens: Genocide, Indian Residential Schools, and the Challenge of Conciliation, in paperback and e-reader wherever you buy your books. National Indigenous Peoples Day is Monday June 21, and if you're a survivor of a residential school, or a family member of a survivor, and need to talk, call the crisis line at 1-866-925-4419. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, and Spotify.

On this edition of Fort McMurray Matters, we chat with the Athabasca Tribal Council about National Indigenous History Month, students learning more about history and culture, and residential schools.
As the profession continues to grow, it's important that we continue having meaningful conversations about uncomfortable, or complicated, subjects. As part of National Indigenous History Month, we're proud to host this three-part special, where we'll explore the topic of equity, representation, and racism in the CPA profession and in Canada. In this episode, Robert Andrews CPA, CMA, Executive Director for the Aboriginal Financial Officers Association of Alberta, joins our guest host and member of CPA Alberta's Anti-Racism Working Group, Sharon Ruyter, to share his thoughts on racism with an eye towards the future of what an equitable world might look like.
To celebrate National Indigenous History Month, we take a step back in history as Danielle flips back the pages of time and brings us to a dark chapter in US history. National Parks, some of our favorite places in the world, were once home to thousands of Native Peoples. Today we are familiar with why National Parks were created – to protect land and resources from development, and "for the benefit and enjoyment of the people", but do we really know how they were created? The lands we benefit from and enjoy today came at the expense of others, others who lived and worshiped on those same lands for millennia. Lands that were stolen. We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.

Every June, Canadians celebrate National Indigenous History Month, to honour the heritage, contributions, and cultures of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis communities across the country. The US celebrates Indigenous Peoples' Day every 11th October, while the rest of the world commemorates World Indigenous Day each 9th August, raising awareness of the needs of Indigenous peoples - their traditional knowledge, voices, and wisdom. But that's definitely not enough. Author: The Spill Category: CULTURE Listen to the full story, or read it online - also available in Easy Read.

Just days before entering June - which is National Indigenous History Month - remains of 215 indigenous children were found in a mass grave at the Kamloops Residential School on the Tk'emlúps te Secwe̓pemc First Nation. This horrific discovery has brought to light the lesser known struggles of the indigenous peoples of Canada via various laws under the Indian Act and in particular via the forced assimilation of indigenous children into the new Christian Euro-Canadian society created via European colonial settlers via residential schools. These schools are arguably the darkest hour in Canada's history and have echoed into the present, still impacting the communities that have suffered. In this episode we briefly run through the history of discrimination and oppression that indigenous communities in Canada face while reflecting on our role and experiences as immigrants here.
Our 58th Zoomcast (June 3rd); The Powered By Age team discusses the beginning of National Indigenous History Month, including the tragic discovery at the Kamloops Residential School of 215 dead children, and then discusses their efforts to bridge the digital divide. The Powered by Age Podcast is sponsored by the Government of Canada New Horizons Grant, the 411 Seniors Centre Society and G&F Financial Group
Harry Styles Launching Beauty Brand? Taylor Swift BREAKS Vinyl Record! BTS Turns 8! You are now going to really be able to smell like Harry Styles since he just submitted a trademark to launch his own cosmetic and fragrance line! Nothing has been announced yet but the paperwork he filed has been leaked online that shows he is listed as “director”. Harry has established himself with his style so it does make sense he would want to expand more in this department and there is no way that something like this would fail. Soon enough we could be getting ready for our day with our Harry makeup, maybe some Harry nail polish, before we spray ourselves with our Harry perfume and head out the door. Taylor Swift is out here breaking more records, and this one is for sales of a record. She sold more than 40 thousand copies of her album Evermore on vinyl in the first three days of sales which gave it the biggest sales week for a vinyl album since MRS Data started tracking in 1991. Vinyls have been making a comeback over the last while and have even started outselling CDs again for the first time in decades. Billie Eilish could be on her way to beating Taylor's record though with her new album “Happier Than Ever” coming out in July which is going to be available in six different colours. Billie Eilish set to releases new song and video tomorrow called 'Lost Cause' BTS is celebrating 8 years of when the group originally formed! The BTS Army is spending the month of June celebrating their favourite group with the use of the hashtag #RollingUpToFesta which means that BTS Festa has officially begun! On June 13 and 14th BTS are holding a two-day livestream event called BTS 2021 MUSTER SOWOOZOO all in celebration of the 8th anniversary.

This is a special episode of our podcast. We are deeply grieved by the discovery of the mass grave of 215 children who died while under the care of the residential school in Kamloops, BC. This is a sobering time of reflection and mourning. We will not hide from the shameful history of these events or ignore the sins of our forefathers and how our Heavenly Father and His Kingdom has been misrepresented. We stand with and mourn with the Indigenous community as the eyes of our nation continue to be opened. We pray for truth to continue to come to light. We pray for justice, and for God to show the way to restitution. We pray for God's deep comfort and strength to those that grieve and to those that seek healing. We pray that God would restore the hearts and souls of the broken as only HE can. We pray for soft and open hearts within the church. May we listen and truly hear the words of the survivors.Throughout the "Calls to Action" from the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission there was a repeated call for more, continued and better education across the board. As part of our response to this, CFA was honored to have Duff Crerar come and share in June of 2019 during National Indigenous History Month. Lord, may our earthly knowledge be joined with spiritual wisdom and compassion as YOUR Spirit guides our physical outpouring of love and support for YOUR children in the Indigenous community.
We are observing and celebrating some really important things this month. June is Pride Month and also National Indigenous History Month, and there is a lot of work to do (as a Church, as communities and as a county) to bring about the healing, reconciliation, inclusivity and equality that is needed. That hard work doesn't happen just at the systems level, in government buildings, church meetings or resolutions. This is the work of the heart and soul that we all need to lean into. It's the work of living out the love that we're called to be. As Robin said in his blog this week, "This is the love that creates, connects and enriches our lives."
