Recently we read and talked about the Stripling Warriors in the war chapters in the book of Alma. We talked about the parents, actually, more than the youth. Why? Because the parents were the ones that we are more like right now. We have the youth--but we're the parents. Bartley Harris talked about his sacred roles of husband and father and how those are so precious to him because his family is so precious to him. He loves them so dearly. We talk about some of his career moves--but always he saw how those opportunities and locations could teach, strengthen, and provide for his family. It was a wonderful conversation.

An Indigenous-owned company in Ontario is making sure evacuations are culturally appropriate, including supporting people to seek refuge on their traplines instead of hotels. Then we ask Canada's Indigenous Services Minister how Ottawa can make climate emergencies less traumatic for Indigenous communities, and why members of the Peguis First Nation remain displaced two years after a major flood.

Jordan Stranger's murals can be seen all over Winnipeg. The Cree artist and graphic designer from Peguis First Nation tells us what it's like to share his art and culture, and why he hopes commemorating the past can lead to a brighter future.

Singer and songwriter William Prince joins me on the show this week.William came by the studio here in East Nashville to talk with me on the eve of his Grand Ol' Opry debut, which was quite thrilling for a guy from northern Manitoba. William hails from the Peguis First Nation, which is a couple of hours outside of Winnipeg, which is where he now lives. He's just released a killer new record called “Stand In The Joy” and it was great to get a chance to talk about that, how he wrote the songs for it, and recorded it, as well as his musical history, his upbringing, and how he was exposed to the country and rock music that really resonated with him. He's made a few records now here in Nashville and Savanah with Dave Cobb, and they really do sound amazing. Great playing, great vibe, and what a voice! He is a Juno Award winner, and has a bunch of other accolades and awards for his various records. 2020's “Reliever” is a great one, and right after it came out he also released a gospel record, “Gospel First Nation”. William is going to be out touring alot this year and next, so check out all of his dates and music at williamprincemusic.comBe sure to listen to the Accompanying Songs Playlist which contains some of the artist's work, plus many of the songs we discuss on the show:Playlist on Spotify / Playlist on Apple MusicIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting the show with a donation or Patreon subscriptionThe show's website can be found at www.makersandshakerspodcast.comYour fearless host, Steve Dawson can be found at www.stevedawson.ca Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/mmasspodcast.

If we don't learn about our history, we are doomed to repeat it....On this very special episode we dive head first into a part of Canada's shameful past that we collectively just don't know enough about.  It's time for 'Coming Home'.Coming Home (Wanna Icipus Kupi) reveals the impacts of the Sixties Scoop and explores Indigenous resilience through narrative sovereignty; as lived by the Little Bird series' Indigenous creatives, cast, crew & community members. The documentary delivers a hard-hitting reality check for viewers unfamiliar with the Sixties Scoop, providing insight into the policies that were created to separate Indigenous children from their heritage, and the systems that continue to dismantle Indigenous families today. Coming Home is the feature directorial debut from Cree/Ojibway filmmaker, Erica Daniels of Peguis First Nation.  Done in concert with the Little Bird; Coming Home is really a fascinating and vital glimpse that gives context to the stories of the Sixties Scoop and puts us as viewers into the difficult realities of the moment for our indigenous population but also allows us to celebrate the importance of indigenous creators and storytellers sharing these vital stories for us all.We had the pleasure of talking with Erica about the making of the film, the challenges there in and so very much more.Coming Home debuts tomorrow Jun 30th on APTN and CraveLittle Bird is on Crave now

Erica Daniels is a Cree/Ojibway filmmaker from the Peguis First Nation. Her previous short film, Run As One, won two Golden Sheaf Awards at the Yorkton Film Festival. She has also received a Canadian Screen Award Nominee. Her documentary Coming Home (Wanna Icipus Kupi) - her feature debut - is a companion piece to the TV series Little Birds, and examines not only the making of of the show, but also its themes, including the Sixties Scoop, indigenous resistance, and narrative sovereignty. The film premieres June 30th of APTN and Crave, in conjunction with the season finale of Little Birds.

The past year has been a standout for Peguis First Nation's own William Prince. From opening for Willie Nelson, debuting at the Grand Ole Opry to releasing his beautiful new album “Stand in the Joy,” one of Canada's finest singer-songwriters joins Tom to reflect on what he's learned so far in his journey about music, family and the deeply meaningful nature of life's small joys.

William Prince's rich baritone voice resonates with amazing warmth, light, and wisdom. Along with the poetic songs and stories that it delivers, his voice just seems to have a way of instantly finding a place in people's hearts. It's no wonder that William's voice and songs have taken him all the way from the small Manitoba community where he grew up, to great acclaim all across Canada.  In a way, William Prince has spent his whole life exploring the ways that music can be a source of connection, communion, and healing. As a kid growing up in Southern Manitoba's Peguis First Nation, he played guitar with his father, who was as singer and songwriter in a gospel/country vein. After that up-close apprenticeship, he embarked upon a career of his own. He hit home almost immediately with his powerful 2015 debut album Earthly Days, which won him a Juno Award right out of the gate, signaling the arrival of a major new figure on the singer-songwriter scene. In the years since, he's garnered increasing international recognition for his work with his sophomore album Reliever, and an homage to his dad and his roots with Gospel First Nation.   Spring 2023 sees the release of Stand in the Joy, a triumphant collection of bittersweet yet hopeful songs. It's an album that William says, "acknowledges pain but does not give it power. What I hope comes through are feelings of love, peace, and strength."  On tour through Alberta, William Prince stopped by CKUA's Edmonton studios for a visit, bringing his guitar, his brilliant songs and, of course, that incredible voice.  Producer: Scott Zielsdorf | Host: Grant Stovel | Graphics: Shaun Friesen | Music: Doug Hoyer 

Canadian and Peguis First Nation singer-songwriter William Prince created his latest album, Stand in the Joy, with the help of country super-producer Dave Cobb. The JUNO-winning musician brings his rich baritone to our studios for a live performance.

Episode 244: William Prince grew up on country and gospel music in rural Manitoba on the Peguis First Nation reserve, getting a grounding from his minister/musician father. Now Prince is a musical minister of sorts, making a strong mark on north American folk music with his sincerity, gravitas and beautiful baritone voice. His formal debut won Canada's JUNO Award for best contemporary folk album, and his twin releases in 2020 were well attuned to the spiritual yearning of the pandemic lockdown. Now Stand In The Joy, produced by Dave Cobb, is a rich portrait of contentment and gratitude. I also speak with DC-based roots rocker Erik Vincent Huey about his late career solo debut, investigating his West Virginia roots.

Later this week, David and Jenny Spigelman will attend a traditional Passover seder at his parents' Winnipeg home, along with the couple's three young sons. Then, on Saturday, the Spigelmans will drive out to spend Easter with Jenny's grandmother at her farm, and the boys—who are being raised Jewish—get to hunt for Easter eggs. It's a compromise that's taking place in many interfaith homes around the world right now. This April, both Passover and Easter (and Ramadan) fall within days of each other on the calendar. And with intermarriage rates among Canadian Jews rising in the past generation to at least 25 percent—and closer to 50 percent in Winnipeg—experts say successfully navigating the holidays this week calls for patience, conversations and celebrating the other's traditions. David and Jenny Spigelman, who is from Manitoba's Peguis First Nation, join The CJN Daily, along with Rabbi Aaron Levy of the Makom synagogue in Toronto where they do interfaith Sabbaths and Mimounas, with tips and advice. What we talked about Learn more about Makom's interfaith Shabbat programs and the coming Mamouna/Iftar event April 16 on the synagogue's website Why Winnipeg has 50% or more of its young Jews marrying non-Jews, in The CJN Listen to Bonjour Chai's second annual Great Canadian Seder episode on The CJN Credits The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

Six months after historic flooding forced the evacuation of more than half of the community, Now or Never visits Peguis First Nation to see how people are recovering, and looking forward to the future.

When Joshua Whitehead was writing his first novel, Jonny Appleseed, he had a small, queer Indigenous audience in mind. But the book went on to become a bestseller, picking up literary prizes and winning CBC's Canada Reads. Now, Whitehead says it's time readers, journalists and academics start rethinking how we interrogate Indigenous authors about their work. In his new non-fiction collection of essays, Making Love with the Land, the two-spirit Oji-Cree storyteller from Peguis First Nation in Manitoba addresses all the uncomfortable and harmful questions he was asked in the wake of Jonny Appleseed. He joins Elamin Abdelmahmoud to argue for a more caring and respectful approach to storytelling and story sharing.

The term "two-spirit" has only been around for about 30 years, but it's an identity with ancient roots. This week on Unreserved, meet Indigenous people who are walking the two-spirit path with pride and reclaiming their place in cultural and community circles. Anishinaabe elder Myra Laramee was gifted the words "two-spirit" in a dream in 1990. She took these words to an annual gathering of Indigenous LGBTQ people, who adopted the term. Alex Wilson is from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation and is a professor in the college of education at the University of Saskatchewan. She has devoted her career to understanding two-spirit identity, how it's rooted in the land and how "coming in" (as opposed to coming out) is a uniquely Indigenous experience. Chantal Fiola and Nicki Ferland are a two-spirit Métis couple living in Winnipeg. They tell the story of their traditional Midewiwin wedding ceremony. Joshua Whitehead's debut novel Jonny Appleseed won Canada Reads 2021. The two-spirit/Indigiqueer writer from Peguis First Nation is representing two-spirit characters in his writing as real, honest and whole. In doing so, he's paving the way for the next generation of two-spirit people to accept — and love — who they are.

She graduated with her M.D. from the University of Manitoba in 2002 and has since served in a variety of leadership roles, including as head of the Section of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Health; medical officer of health for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority; a past president of the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada and executive director, Indigenous academic affairs, Ongomiizwin-Indigenous Institute of Health and Healing.As a medical resident, Dr. Anderson found the opportunity to connect with her cultural identity through experiences with healthcare for indigenous peoples. This journey also showed her firsthand the racism that is systemic in healthcare and how it can have marginalizing and even life-threatening effects on minority peoples. Dr. Anderson shares with the Center Stage audience her efforts to combat discrimination against and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion for indigenous peoples, their knowledge, and their traditions. She also challenges us to think about our biases and make ourselves uncomfortable in the pursuit of inclusiveness in our organizations and communities. Dr. Anderson is an advocate, researcher, and leader in the areas of Indigenous health, primary health care, and medical education. In 2016, she presented a TED Talk on Indigenous Knowledge to Close Gaps in Indigenous Health. In 2018, she was named as one of Canada's 100 Most Powerful Women by Women's Executive Network.

William Prince grew up with the influence of his father's gospel music, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and a deep love of connecting with family. His parents kept music at the forefront of his young life with performing music around the house and through their DJ business. The house was filled with records and music, so William always felt a strong draw to include it in his life. He also felt a pressure to be successful and able to take care of his family, which lead him to planning a career as a doctor. While that plan fell apart, music scooped him up. He focused on songwriting and performing for over a decade before he released his debut album, Earthly Days. Sadly, right before his album came out, his father passed away. He also ended a serious relationship with the woman who would give birth to his son. All of those major life events certainly impacted the writing for his latest album, Reliever. Even when he had been going through extremely hard times, William said “I had the faith for a better time. That's all hope really is: borrowing from a time that things will be better." This led him to be more vulnerable in his writing and in many ways put him on the path toward healing.William is fairly serious and soft-spoken in his answers, but he is so open about his experience. I especially appreciated his willingness to talk about becoming comfortable in his physical body. We also talk about the experience of growing up and attending high school on a reserve. His family moved from Selkirk, Manitoba to The Peguis First Nation when he was 12 years old. There he discovered all this family he had never known before. He has this lovely rhythm to his speech and I totally meant to ask him about it, but forgot in the middle. All I can say is listen to the rhythm in the way he talks and enjoy! Also I'm pleased to mention that for the very first time, William talks about his next album that will be out before the end of this godforsaken year!

We’re sharing the full conversation Mike had a couple of months ago with acclaimed singer-songwriter William Prince, which formed the basis for our July/August issue's cover story. There's a lot that didn’t make it into the article, so we’re thrilled to be able to share it here. It’s a very wide ranging conversation that spans almost William’s entire life, from his musical upbringing with his minister/singer father in Peguis First Nation, studying to become a doctor while finding more happiness in music, developing his exceptional songwriting acumen, breaking into the music industry, making his albums, the pressure he feel as an Indigenous songwriter to write political songs, and a lot more. http://canadianmusician.com

In this interview, Dr. Davinder Singh and Dr. Marcia Anderson discuss the problem of racism in the justice system which is in in part responsible for the over-representation of Indigenous people among the those incarcerated in Canada. As a result, Indigenous people lose far more years of life to incarceration than to premature death from many common causes. Dr. Marcia Anderson is Cree-Anishinaabe, with roots going to the Norway House Cree Nation and Peguis First Nation in Manitoba. She practices both Internal Medicine and Public Health as a Medical Officer of Health with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Dr. Davinder Singh is a recent graduate from the Public Health and Preventive Medicine residency program at the University of Manitoba and is currently midway through his law degree. They co-authored a commentary published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

We join forces with two amazing Indigenous writers and scholars who are making waves in the literary scene with their poetry, prose, and fiction. They weave words and worlds to help us see and understand queer indigenous identities and bodies, the ways that settler colonialism has disrupted and distorted our relationships, and the power of asserting voice in spaces not meant for us. We discuss their writing practice, academia, living in racialized bodies. We close with Joshua and Billy reciting some of their work for us. Enjoy!
