Melanie Mark, also known by her Nisga'a name Hli Haykwhl Ẃii Xsgaak, is a difference-maker who believes strongly that the changes we need to inspire and support future generations, require all of us to get on board and paddle together. Elected in 2016, Melanie Mark, is the first First Nations woman Member of the Legislative Assembly in British Columbia's history, representing the riding of Vancouver-Mount Pleasant.

In this week's episode, we speak with Dr. Andrea Reid, a citizen of the Nisga'a Nation and assistant professor with the University of British Columbia's Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries and the principal investigator at the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries. Andrea launched the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries and leads an incredible team where they are working to “build momentum and action in support of the study and protection of culturally significant fish and fisheries” (quoted from cif.fish). We learned about fish, specifically salmon and Andreas' favorite, the beautiful sockeye salmon, in context to Indigenous knowledge and science, and breaking down the differences between Native fishing practices and the western fishing industry. We wade into the world of salmon in connection to land, fishing practices, and place and what this all means not only to the indigenous nations of Canada but to the world of ecology and conservation. Andrea's work is critical in navigating and healing the deeply damaging results of years of industry fishing and their indiscriminate methods of fishing and the devastating effects that “discard” or “by-catch” have on freshwater species and on rivers, people, and the ecosystem they live with. Thanks again to Dr. Andrea Reid for taking this time with us. It's a conversation we are still having in our minds and hearts weeks after our recording with her. Lots of Love.

Les Premières nations commencent à trouver leur place, mais sans rentrer dans la complexité des relations politiques entre les peuples autochtones et leurs contemporains d'aujourd'hui, on peut tout de même dire que les choses s'améliorent progressivement. L'histoire des premières nations est très riche ... Impossible dans cette chronique d'évoquer tout ce que les descendants de ces premières nations continuent de cultiver tant sur le plan humain que sur le plan de la relation de l'homme à la nature qu'ils vénèrent autrement que la plupart de leurs contemporains. Et où peut-on se confronter à leurs cultures ? Justement les Premières Nations comptent sur le tourisme pour communiquer une culture d'abord bâtie sur la tradition orale. Musées, centres culturels, espaces naturels, site inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité.... De nombreux lieux, où la mémoire de ces peuples est préservée à jamais, sont à visiter pour découvrir toute la richesse de la culture des Premières Nations. Un exemple ? Du côté de Vancouver ... il y a les les kwakwak-ouillac ... Répète ! Les Kwakwak-ouillac des créateurs de masques et de totems remarquables ... Une visite incontournable, c'est le Musée d'Anthropologie de Vancouver pour s'initier à la culture des Premières Nations de Colombie-Britannique... Ouvert en 1976 le musée surplombe la mer, présente une riche collection d'objets artistiques et cérémoniels des cultures amérindiennes locales. Sa superbe architecture, avec une structure à poteaux et à poutres apparents, évoque les constructions trouvées dans les villages autochtones de la côte Nord-Ouest. Et il se présente comment ? Dès l'entrée, un grand hall avec des murs en verre de 15 mètres ... on est plongés dans une autre époque, avec des canoës et un ensemble exceptionnel de totems créés par les Kwakwaka'wakw, mais aussi les Nisga'a, et les Haida. Masques, arcs, pirogues, sculptures, poteries… Le musée abrite quelque 40.000 objets ethnographiques et 535.000 objets archéologiques, offrant le meilleur panorama qui soit des cultures des Premières Nations. Au lieu de présenter les objets en fonction de leur provenance, de leur usage ou de leur type, le musée les dispose en fonction des critères indigènes. Ainsi, les objets sont regroupés selon la cérémonie pour laquelle on les utilisait. À l'extérieur, autour d'un petit étang, la promenade se poursuit sous le regard impassible des totems.

Mike Dangeli is of the Nisga'a, Tlingit, Tsetsaut, and Tsimshian Nations. He is a carver and artist whose work continues and expands upon ancient art forms in order to challenge commonly held assertions concerning aboriginal art and identity. His work reflects his position as a 21st Century First Nations person and all the cultural influences, mainstream and otherwise, that make up his lived experience as a person who is heavily involved in his people's ceremonies. Working as primarily a commissioned based artist, Mike has created his art for commissions, galleries, and ceremonial pieces for his community. Mike's works include masks, drums, regalia, paintings, and limited edition silk-screened prints. Mike has completed twenty totem poles and a thirty-foot ocean going canoe. Mike is also an accomplished singer, songwriter, and dancer. In partnership with his wife Mique'l Dangeli, he leads the Git Hayetsk, an internationally renowned First Nations dance group based in Vancouver, BC. Mike and Mique'l has performed, held lectures, workshops, and carving demonstration in Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, British Columbia, Ontario, Yukon, Manitoba, Austria, Malaysia, Germany and Japan. Mike has carved over 30 of the masks performed by their group. Their focus is to share the songs and dances of their ancestors as well as compose and choreograph new ones to reflect the challenges and victories of their experiences as First Nations people today.
We speak with Julia Kozak, a dancer and artist from the Nisga'a Nation in British Columbia and Allan Jamieson, a Cayuga Elder, educator and promoter of arts and culture.

In this episode, multiple award-winning Nisga'a author Jordan Abel and host Linda Morra discuss his most recent book, Nishga (published by McClelland & Stewart in 2020), the intergenerational legacies of trauma for residential school survivors, and the importance of not only listening to, but also "witnessing" their stories. He speaks about his relationship with his father's art and the kinds of "activism" that writing might perform. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

David O'Meara sits down with Griffin Poetry Prize winner Jordan Abel to discuss his latest publication, NISHGA , a groundbreaking, deeply personal, and devastating autobiographical meditation that attempts to address the complicated legacies of Canada's residential school system and contemporary Indigenous existence. As a Nisga'a writer, Jordan Abel often finds himself in a position where he is asked to explain his relationship to Nisga'a language, Nisga'a community, and Nisga'a cultural knowledge. However, as an intergenerational survivor of residential school--both of his grandparents attended the same residential school--his relationship to his own Indigenous identity is complicated to say the least. NISHGA explores those complications and is invested in understanding how the colonial violence originating at the Coqualeetza Indian Residential School impacted his grandparents' generation, then his father's generation, and ultimately his own. The project is rooted in a desire to illuminate the realities of intergenerational survivors of residential school, but sheds light on Indigenous experiences that may not seem to be immediately (or inherently) Indigenous.

Liberal darling and former Wall Street/Central Banker, Mark Carney says he won't seek a seat in the House of Commons. But why not Mark?!? Then, the Nisga'a nation is seeking a $10 billion LNG project in Northern BC, putting the left's values of supporting Indigenous sovereignty and opposing oil & gas extraction at odds.

Before European colonization, populations of Pacific salmon were successfully managed by the Indigenous communities of the Pacific Northwest since time immemorial. Colonization and its associated fisheries management practices have depleted stocks and disrupted the complex social–ecological systems that underlie them. In this episode, we're joined by Will Atlas, a salmon watershed scientist with the Wild Salmon Center; Andrea Reid, citizen and member of the Nisga’a Nation, in British Columbia, and an assistant professor with the University of British Columbia; and William G. Housty of the Heiltsuck First Nation and the Heiltsuk Integrated Resource Management Department. Our guests describe how a return to traditional management may revitalize these fisheries and bolster the fishing communities that depend on them. Read this article in BioScience.

Perhaps best known for his book First Nations? Second Thoughts the speaker has written extensively on aboriginal history and politics with an eye to making major changes in the relationship between aboriginal people and the Government of Canada. Chief among his changes would be the right to private property on reserves and a change in the tax structure of reserves such that there would be no representation without taxation.

Perhaps best known for his book First Nations? Second Thoughts the speaker has written extensively on aboriginal history and politics with an eye to making major changes in the relationship between aboriginal people and the Government of Canada. Chief among his changes would be the right to private property on reserves and a change in the tax structure of reserves such that there would be no representation without taxation. The changes that the speaker argues for are controversial but have some precedent in recent negotiated treaties like the Nisga'a Treaty. He will argue that an overhaul of the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Government of Canada is necessary in order to effect real change for aboriginal people in Canada.

In 2000, the Nisga’a Final Agreement came into force and created an unprecedented form of aboriginal self-government in Canada. The Nisga’a nation’s experiment with a “third order” government is an example of Canada’s liberal commitment to accommodating the minority group needs of its multicultural citizenry. A debate centers on whether sovereign aboriginal nations can be born from aboriginal treaty rights protected in the Canadian Constitution, and highlights the threat of the Nisga’a Constitution upon the Canadian Constitution’s supremacy.
