In this episode, Sandy and Nora talk about Residential School denial, and how the Globe and Mail's editorial board has jumped in with two feet. Plus, Canada's new "AI strategy" is heavy on making stuff up, light on the strategy. Did AI write it?? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Eleanore Sunchild, KC (Sunchild Law) and Professor Tom Flanagan (University of Calgary) join us to discuss residential school denialism and recent proposals to prohibit it under the Criminal Code. The conversation explores the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, competing claims about residential school history, and the evidence underlying contemporary debates over residential school denialism. Sunchild and Flanagan discuss questions surrounding abuse and mortality within residential schools, the removal of Indigenous children from their families, and ongoing debates regarding unmarked graves and alleged burial sites. The guests also examine proposed amendments to the Criminal Code, the relationship between free expression and reconciliation, and the legal and moral arguments for and against criminalizing certain forms of denial, downplaying, or misrepresentation. Along the way, the discussion considers the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, historical memory, and the role of criminal law in addressing disputed historical claims.
The Globe and Mail's editorial board calls the initial reporting on Kamloops residential school graves a “failure of journalism.” Five years later, debate continues over small errors in the language used to report on the preliminary findings of an investigation into unmarked graves. Is the Globe's decision to address these issues productive or will it fuel denial of the impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities?

The Kamloops Indian Residential School made headlines five years ago this month. What followed was tears across the country, marches, statues torn down, and the Prime Minister bending a knee while holding a teddy bear. Then came the counter narrative fuelled by books with titles like Grave Error and Dead Wrong.Today we talk to Dr. Kisha Supernant, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Alberta, who has been working in the field at potential grave sites across the country. What has she found? What is the tone of the debate five years on from Kamloops?

What happens to the stories of residential school survivors if they are never preserved, and is Canada prepared to let them disappear? With a Supreme Court deadline approaching that could see thousands of survivor testimonies destroyed unless individuals act, we examine why many people remain unaware of the clock running out and what is at stake if those records are lost. Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Connie Walker, host of Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's and lead of the Indian Residential School Records Project at Toronto Metropolitan University, explains the push to build a permanent national archive. We then turn to Red Dress Day and the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two Spirit people. Storyteller and educator Carolyn Roberts joins us to discuss her new children's book, "Tess's Red Dress," and how it helps families and classrooms confront a reality that is still unfolding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The most comprehensive archive of what happened at Canadian residential schools is about to be destroyed after a 2017 Supreme Court ruling to protect survivors privacy. Now Pulitzer and Peabody-winning journalist Connie Walker is creating a new public archive to preserve survivor accounts.
Nearly five years after a claim that 215 unmarked graves were identified at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site, no human remains have been recovered and no excavation work has begun. Officials now say the search could take decades. Read the full article here: https://www.coastalfront.ca/read/kamloops-residential-school-search-could-take-decades-as-questions-over-funding-and-findings-persist PODCAST INFO:
The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan have each agreed to settlements in the Île-à-la-Crosse School class action. The school operated from the 1820s until 1976. Approximately 1,500 students attended, mostly Métis children from northern Saskatchewan. The settlements remain subject to court approval, and that hearing will take place on March 30–31. For more on this Evan is joined by Tina Yang, class counsel for Île-à-la-Crosse School class action.
Cory talks about how we can't stop pressuring the government on the Kamloops hoax until exhumations are done and resolution found.
In 2022, news media across the globe reported that hundreds of mass graves containing the remains of Indigenous children had been discovered at a former residential school site in Canada. This turned out not to be true. Nothing had been discovered at all. Yet the narrative of not only the “mass graves,” but systemic abuse and even “genocide” perpetrated at these residential schools, lives on. Canada's relationship to Indigenous peoples and history is a strong one—tied to funding, legislation, education, land acknowledgements, policy, and of course guilt. But is it accurate? Is what Canadians “know” about Indigenous history true? How is what we believe impacting the country and its citizens?In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Tim Thielmann, former Indigenous rights lawyer and director of a new documentary called, “Making a Killing: Reconciliation, Genocide, and Plunder in Canada.”The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

Today, we're exploring Indigenous experiences, history, and the ongoing journey toward truth and reconciliation. Our guest is Maeengan Linklater, Anishinaabe, from Lac Seul First Nation in Ontario, with more than 25 years of experience across the non-profit, government, and private sectors, and he is a father, community volunteer, and poet. In this episode, we'll discuss the painful legacy of residential schools, their lasting impact on Indigenous communities, and the work being done to uncover truths, honour survivors, and move toward reconciliation. We'll also touch on lesser-known aspects of this history, including unconventional psychic experiments on Indigenous children at residential schools. Today's conversation invites us to listen, reflect, and think critically about the path forward. Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

Since then, the writer and producer of the film Tim Thielmann, has been fired along with two other senior staff. MLA Dallas Brodie has herself been removed as interim party leader. But the documentary lives on, with Dallas Brodie voicing Thielmann's script and interviewing all the guests. We talk about the film with Sean Carleton, professor of history and Indigenous studies at the University of Manitoba.
After a delayed application process and an aborted initial commission, the US has at last appointed its artist for next year's Venice Biennale: the Utah-born, Mexico-based artist Alma Allen. The Art Newspaper's editor-in-chief in the Americas, Ben Sutton, talks Ben Luke through this confusing saga.

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
James Stewart (J.D.M.) speaks with Alexandra Giancarlo, Janice Forsyth, and Braden Te Hiwi about their book, Beyond the Rink: Behind the Images of Residential School Hockey. In 1951, the Sioux Lookout Black Hawks from Pelican Lake Indian Residential School toured Ottawa and Toronto after winning the Thunder Bay district championship. Promoted as proof of the residential school system's “success,” the tour masked the realities of abuse and forced assimilation. Beyond the Rink by Alexandra Giancarlo, Janice Forsyth, and Braden Te Hiwi—created with Survivors Kelly Bull, Chris Cromarty, and David Wesley—examines this legacy, celebrating the team's achievements while exposing hockey's role in colonial narratives and reclaiming their story to envision a more just future for Indigenous peoples and Canada.

Elder and linguist Bernie Francis talks with guest host Preston Mulligan about Centralization. This policy, enacted in 1942, attempted to get all the Mi'kmaq in Nova Scotia to locate in either Sipekne'katik or Eskasoni. Bernie says, before that, Mi'kmaq were documented living in more than 50 communities around the province. Recordings of now-deceased elders suggest centralization allowed church leaders to more effectively prohibit use of the Mi'kmaw language.
In commemoration of Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we present a BONUS EPISODE with excerpts from a conversation recorded by Feliks Banel in summer 2021 with Shelly Boyd and the late Michael Finley of the Colville Tribe in North Central Washington. This was not long after the discovery near Kamloops, British Columbia of what appears to be hundreds of unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school. In our conversation, we touched on many chapters of Northwest and British Columbia history, including residential schools in Canada and the United States – where countless Indigenous children were abused, and from which some never returned. The late Michael Finley was a tribal historian and former tribal chair, and served tribal liaison for the Washington State Historical Society. His cousin Shelly Boyd is a language scholar and co-founder of the Inchelium Language House, and authored the cover story for the autumn 2021 edition of COLUMBIA Magazine.

What really happened in Canada's colonial past and why does the truth still matter today? David Leis sits down with Lord Nigel Biggar, author of Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning, to unpack the complex history between colonial powers and Indigenous peoples. From early cooperation to painful conflicts and the controversial legacy of residential schools, Biggar challenges the oversimplified narratives shaping public debate. He also confronts the moral record of the British Empire and its role in both oppression and the abolition of slavery—arguing that only by facing history in full, not just the parts that fit an agenda, can we pursue real justice and reconciliation. #IndigenousHistory #Colonialism #CanadaHistory #NigelBiggar #TruthInHistory #ResidentialSchools #Justice
In this very special episode of the ‘Candice Malcolm Show,' Candice discusses the importance of independent media pushing back against the legacy press narratives that promote a “post-truth” society. To celebrate Juno News' 6 month anniversary, Candice welcomes co-founder Keean Bexte to chat about some of their biggest moments and the most important news stories during this incredible journey so far. In today's other big news, Candice highlights a new public opinion survey done by Angus Reid that shows a clear majority of Canadians say they need more evidence – including excavations – to determine if unmarked or mass graves really exist at Residential Schools.

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.

Métis archeologist Kisha Supernant was sometimes called a 'grave robber' when she started her line of work. With an eye to restorative justice, she tries to help Indigenous communities locate the graves of children who died at residential schools. Now, she's called on to find children's graves. In this public lecture, Supernant explains how the use of traditional knowledge systems, as well as cutting-edge ground radar techniques helps families find their loved ones. The work also allows communities to begin healing. It's a science, she says, of the heart and head.
Today, we're looking at Mark Carney's elitist answer to a question about whether he'd still buy American strawberries following President Trump's global tariff rollout. Plus, anti-Israel protesters have caused havoc at McGill University, where students and professors were blocked from classes and a heavy police presence has been on scene. And finally, B.C. MLA Dallas Brodie has called out the First Nations Leadership Council for efforts to criminalize her speech stating the truth, that no bodies have been following claims of unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site.
In the Oscar-nominated Canadian documentary Sugarcane, Julian Brave Noisecat investigates the horrific history of the residential school his family attended in B.C.

A new documentary called “New Blood” chronicles the 10-year journey of the “New Blood Dance Show” — a high school theatre production based on the residential school experience of former Siksika Nation Chief Vincent Yellow Old Woman. Peter Gabriel signed on as an executive producer of the documentary and even allowed his music to be used in it for free. “New Blood” director Adam Solway joins Tom Power from Calgary to tell us how the film is sparking long overdue conversations about the intergenerational impact of the residential school system, and why he hopes the project will serve as a form of healing.

Send us a textNot that long ago Indigenous children across the Americas were torn from their families, their traditions, and their very identities. Behind the doors of residential schools, they faced relentless attempts to reshape their minds and erase their spirits—all in the name of 'civilization.'But what was life truly like for those taken? What scars still linger? Today, we open a chapter in history that many tried to bury—a story of resilience, pain, and the fight to hold onto culture in the face of erasure. Welcome to 'Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales.' This is the beginning of our exploration of residential schools and the lasting legacy of assimilation.In The Shadow Of The Red Brick Buildingby Raymond Tony Charliehttps://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Red-Brick-Building/dp/1999148118Merch store- https://indigenoustales.threadless.com/Email us at info@behillnetwork.com Also check out our Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/indigenous_tales/And our TikTok -https://www.tiktok.com/@indigenous_talesAmanda Bland Dallas area Bakeryinstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cupidsweetsbakes/Cupid Sweets- https://www.facebook.com/cupidsweets

interview starts at 21:20 Anton Bueckert aka Crow Qu'appelle joins us for another Shame Day chat. This time things have changed a bit. The book Grave Error is out, and we also talk about the book Wilful Blindness by Sam Cooper that came out in 2021 and the connection between these. We chat about the sovereign land he is working on in BC, the TRC Commission, Tom Flannigan and his influence and his book Grave Error, CBC and the Harper years, and Pierre's intentional not reading of the report on the 11 compromised politicians in Canada. We talk about the grave sites, the media lies, the potential for still buried graves, the evidence brought forward by Kevin Annette, the legit issues with the Residential Schools, Re-Occupation, the Land issue, and what would be a good reconciliation at least for what is known.... Then we get into Wilfull Blindness and the CCP's influence, and how they were dog piling during the Kamloops grave issue, the corruption in Canada, the organized crime, Triads, money laundering in casino's and real estate, the Markham bust, NSICOP, gang wars, Treaty 9, resources for the reservations, Crown Land, controlled utilisation and the Great China Debate. https://nevermoremedia.substack.com/p/shame-days-on-its-way?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=787156&post_id=148987432&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=24pqe&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email https://nevermoremedia.substack.com/p/is-pierre-poilievre-the-protege-of Links to stuff we chatted about during the show: gravesintheorchard.wordpress.com https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/china-canada-joint-statement-un-china-1.6071184 https://murderbydecree.com/mass-graves-of-children-in-canada-documented-evidence-2/#page-content https://www.amazon.ca/Wilful-Blindness-Criminal-Communist-infiltrated-dp-0888903294/dp/0888903294/ref=dp_ob_title_bk https://tnc.news/grave-error1/ https://acanadianshame.substack.com/ https://x.com/KirkLubimov/status/1840810731090129017 Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

In May of 2021, archaeologists discovered over 200 unmarked graves at an Indigenous residential school in Canada. The discovery exposed the dark history of systemic abuse faced by Canada's Indigenous community.At least 150,000 Indigenous children attended Indigenous residential schools in Canada. For decades, they were removed from their homes and families and held in institutions run by the Catholic church and Canadian government."Sugarcane" is a new documentary that follows one of those schools – St. Joseph's Mission near the Sugarcane Reservation of Williams Lake in British Columbia. We speak with the film's directors.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions? Connect with us.
