The ever-insufferable Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received an obviously hostile reception during his speech at the recent North American Indigenous Games held in Halifax.     Highlights:  "This was, frankly, rather shocking, since Trudeau, of course, is all in on woke identity politics you would think that these are his peeps, of all the populations in Canada, indigenous people groups would be his biggest fans! But maybe the hostility has a little something to do with what he did recently on Canada's Indigenous Peoples Day.” “Under Pierre Poilievre's uniting leadership, the Conservatives have now opened up a 7-point lead over the Liberals for the past 9 months! If they can get that to a double-digit lead, I think the days of Trudeau will be coming to an end.”    Timestamps:   [00:49] Why Trudeau, who is all-in on woke identity politics, booed by thousands at the recent North American Indigenous Games    [02:58] Trudeau's previous blackface scandal and how even the journalists at the Guardian have soured on him [06:21] How populist sentiments are surging in Canada    Resources:  Nature's Morphine?

2019 UVic Education Distinguished Alumni of the Year award winner Alex Nelson is recognized for his lifetime of achievements to change the world of sports and recreation for Indigenous peoples and for his work in suicide prevention. Nelson graduated from the University of Victoria Faculty of Education’s Recreation and Health program. Sports can provide youth with inspirations and role models. Inspired by his own life and his uncle, Nelson coaches, creates sports programming and believes in the ability of sport to foster personal skill and builds community. He helped create programs specifically for Indigenous youth. For Nelson, soccer was a chance to leave the school behind for a brief moment. He is a residential school survivor and discovered his love for soccer during his time in Alert Bay. “It is an opportunity and a time where you leave that institute, you leave that building, you leave that smell, the regimentation, the staff, and all that it stands for,” he says. “And now you have this freedom. You have the fresh air, you have nature, and you have the soccer ball.” Some of Nelson’s other work includes serving as Executive Director of Aboriginal Sports BC in 1997, and was involved in creating the North American Indigenous Games in Victoria. Nelson is also using what he’s learned in the sports world as a method of suicide prevention. Listen to this episode to learn more about Nelson’s story and how he uses sports to foster community and culture in new and innovative ways.

Season 1 Episode 1 The Fit Nation Episode October 02, 2017 In this first episode of Teachings In The Air, we talk to the I·SPARC FitNation team about the benefits of being physically active. We had a chance to catch up with FitNation at their first Spring Leaders Training in Richmond, BC back in April. During our visit, we recorded interviews and learned about the connections between physical fitness and mental health - and how easy it is to get started. One of the key features of the FitNation program is that anyone can do it - and you don't even need a gym! The Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity & Recreation Council (BC) is committed to inspiring Indigenous people in BC to Move, Play and Compete. I·SPARC was established as a collaborative community health and social development initiative of the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, First Nations Health Council and the Métis Nation BC. I·SPARC, through the sum of its actions, will create responsive and enduring sport, recreation and physical activity programs for Indigenous people across BC, which will result in healthier, more active individuals, families and communities. On the show, we interview the following FitNation leaders: Robynne Edgar is the Director of Healthy Living for ISPARC - we had a chance to speak with her to find out more about FitNation and other Healthy Living programs. Dwayne Roberts is a Nike Sparq trainer, he met the ISPARC team at the N7 summit in Portland and worked closely with ISPARC to create FitNation. Michelle Webster became a FitNation leader in 2014 and has never looked back. As the inventor of the famous FitNation freeze tag, Michelle continues to inspire youth in community as the regional coordinator for the Interior for ISPARC, and she's also acted as the head coach for the North American Indigenous Games girls softball team at the 2014 and 2017 NAIG. Daniel Young-Mercer was originally trained as a FitNation leader back in 2013 for his community and now serves as the Provincial Coordinator of Physical Activity, Training and Development for ISPARC.

Gunshot victims from across the country agreed to return to the places where they were shot and have their photos taken for a new book, "SHOT: 101 Survivors of Gun Violence in America." Karina Sartiaguin is among those featured. She was 16 when she was shot and paralyzed outside her Aurora high school. Also in the show, a butcher who's carved out an unusual niche: He teaches Army Special Forces to kill and butcher animals that they can eat on deployment. Then, 60 American Indian teens from Southern Colorado competed in the recent North American Indigenous Games in Toronto. They brought home four medals. Plus, a preview of this week's Underground Music Showcase in Denver.

Darren Thompson is a renowned Native American musician and contributor to PowWows.com! Darren Thompson is an educator, public speaker, facilitator, and Native American flute player from the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe Indian Reservation in Northern Wisconsin.  He has spent most of his adult life serving communities through leadership development, American Indian cultural awareness workshops, and the arts. His career as an American Indian musician began with a burning curiosity of a nearly lost instrument – the Native American flute – while an undergraduate at Marquette University. Within a short time he became a sought-after concert musician who shared both traditional American Indian flute songs as well as his original compositions at colleges and universities throughout the United States. He has shared the stage with many award-winning musicians, artists, and talents giving him the inspiration to thrive as an artist. His dedication to the preservation of American Indian music has taken him to some of North America’s most prominent American Indian organizations and events, including the Grand Opening of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, the National Indian Education Association, the National Congress of American Indians, the North American Indigenous Games, America’s largest American Indian cultural festival, many universities, organizations, communities, and has recently began to share his talents internationally. In 2009 Darren released his debut album, “The Song of Flower: Native American Songs from Ojibwe Country,” with Bear Tracks Digital Media, an American Indian owned production label. “The Song of Flower” was highly supported by well-known political prisoner and activist Leonard Peltier and Darren was invited to share his music all over the United States promoting for Peltier’s freedom and performing at his art galleries. He hosts an annual Native American flute retreat in his community, the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe Reservation, with select flutemakers and renowned fluteplayers teaching eager learners about the instrument from all over the world. In 2015, Darren released his second album “Between Earth and Sky: Native American Flute Music Recorded in the Black Hills,” with Drumhop Productions, an American Indian production label well-known in Indian Country that produces the annual Gathering of Nations Powwow CD and many others from throughout Turtle Island. Early in its release, Between Earth and Sky has received acclaim from media and professionals supporting the album’s intent – to preserve history. From the album’s success, Darren was awarded an artist-in-residence opportunity with the world’s largest monument, the Crazy Horse National Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. As a result of his successful residence at Crazy Horse Memorial, Darren was selected to be a regular performer in the summer months at Crazy Horse giving him the opportunity to continue to share his music with hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world.  Read more: http://www.powwows.com/2016/07/06/interview-darren-thompson-pow-wow-life-episode-6/#ixzz4HE4i58fB
