Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation announcement halts any progress on a $48 billion proposal to reform child welfare systems on reserves. It also stalls a First Nations clean drinking water bill. Trudeau received both praise and criticism from Indigenous leaders following his resignation announcement. We'll look at how Trudeau delivered on Indigenous issues in Canada. GUESTS Russ Diabo (Kahnawake Mohawk), policy analyst Matthew Wildcat (Cree), assistant professor of Native Studies and director of Indigenous Governance and Partnership at the University of Alberta

There have been more instances of people in positions of power claiming Indigenous heritage. Eric Chapman talked with Russ Diabo, policy analyst about how the word "indigenous" is a blanket statement and we need to get specific when talking about Nation's Clan's and people.

Russ Diabo and Romeo Saganash square off on Bill C-15 on this episode of Nation to Nation. This is after weeks of trading barbs on social media over the proposed UNDRIP bill.

Tonight, Beside the Tracks with Andrew Brant Podcast welcomes Russell Diabo, Kahnawake Mohawk Policy Analyst. He shares some of his personal experiences as a youth, attending Wounded Knee in the 1970's and educating himself from there and the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington DC. Hear his take on CANDRIP (Ottawa's new Bill C-15) and much more.

On this week’s collected, connected conversations (number eight in our Summer Series): comprehending and combating Climate Change. And as our current crisis continues to heat up the planet, it’s also lit a fire under MEDIA INDIGENA. That’s partly because we know that climate change disproportionately impacts Indigenous peoples—despite Indigenous knowledges offering critical clues to how to help combat imminent climate disaster. Featured voices this podcast include (in order of appearance): Russ Diabo, publisher/editor of the First Nations Strategic Bulletin; Candis Callison, Associate Professor at UBC's Graduate School of Journalism, and Kim TallBear, associate professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta; as well as Ken Williams, assistant professor with the University of Alberta's department of drama. This episode was produced and edited by Anya Zoledziowski and Rick Harp.  CREDITS // Creative Commons music in this episode includes the following works by Sascha Ende: "Mystery Of Dandela (instrumental)," "Flucht (Romeos Erbe)," “Image film 033,” "Chord Guitar 002" and "Dreamsphere 8."

This week, Russ Diabo, policy analyst and publisher of the First Nations Strategic Bulletin, joins us to discuss the Jody Wilson-Raybould affair. He says that Perry Bellegarde, the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), seems to have a different opinion than most Indigenous communities regarding the Wilson-Raybould resignation. And later, Dave Wells discusses how the Mi'kmaq First Nations Assembly of Newfoundland (MFNAN) could become a non-status band.

This is Part II of a two-part interview with Mohawk policy analyst Russ Diabo. In Part I, Russ shared with us his teenage search for identity, his role in native resistance on both sides of the border and the political history leading up to federal "Indian policy". We left off at "who the hell is this guy" - the appointment of Ron Irwin as Minister of Indian Affairs. This episode will continue this political history and finish with where we go from here.

Russ Diabo, policy analyst and publisher of the First Nations Strategic Bulletin, says that when Judy Wilson-Raybould ran afoul of the bureaucracy and Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sided with Bennett. Later, Greg Janes discusses the promotion of Seamus O'Regan to Indigenous Services from Veterans Affairs, where his performance got an F from vets.

Unless there is significant change in the lives of First Nations people, Russ Diabo says there will be more push back from the people. “Our people are increasingly demanding fundamental change, not incremental change,” says Diabo. In this episode of Face To Face, Russ Diabo sits down with Host Dennis Ward.

Russ Diabo has been a frequent and vocal critic of the Assembly of First Nations, so he surprised everyone when he announced his intention to run for National Chief. Two Ottawa area environmental activists talk about blocking the city’s traffic in support of opponents of the Kinder Morgan pipeline project. And a British Columbia First Nation may be key to stopping the pipeline dead in its tracks.

Double the fun or double trouble? Seemingly out of nowhere, the federal Liberals have decided to re-arrange the political furniture as part of a late summer shuffle of their Cabinet. What is now Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada will be cleaved in two—in future, First Nations will have to deal with the department of "Crown-Indigenous relations and Northern Affairs" and the department of "Indigenous Services." But will INAC be cleaved so much as cloned? What does this ostensible re-org actually, concretely mean? In light of this unexpected shift, we’re doing a shift of our own this week to go as deep as possible on exactly these questions with special guests Russ Diabo, a Kahnawake Mohawk analyst, writer and activist, and Peter Di Gangi, a land rights researcher and analyst with Sicani Research. // Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.

The United Nations Committee to End Racial Discrimination (CERD) has been in existence for over 50 years under the auspices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the CERD 93rd convention is now underway in Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of CERD 93 is to examine reports on many nations regarding Human Rights compliance with data, testimony and submissions from government agencies, international NGOs such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, domestic agencies on the ground and the people who are leading the efforts in their nations. Every member of the UN is subject to review and recommendations from CERD on a rotating basis, with results from the last committee recommendations being entered into the next review phase. Canada is one of the members subject to review at CERD 93. Looking at this round's reports and the recommendations for Canada from its last review, it is clear to the UNHCR, CERD, international NGOs and stakeholders that Canada has problems. But as far as successive Canadian governments and the corporate press are concerned, Canada is still that mythical defender of Human Rights envied around the world. It is simply not the real picture. And nothing demonstrates this more clearly than the legal, economic and social condition of Indigenous Peoples throughout Canada. All the evidence is there for the world to see, just not Canadians apparently. Russell Diabo is the editor and publisher of an online newsletter that covers First Nations political and legal issues, the First Nations Strategic Bulletin. He is a member of the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawake, QC and has been an activist on First Nations issues since the age of 16. A member of the Defenders of the Land Network, Russ works with Idle No More and the Unsettling150 campaign for a National Day of Action this past July 1. Russ is a delegate for CERD 93 and he joins us to discuss Canada's false global reputation and what comes next.

This week, an extended conversation with two of the people behind 'Unsettling Canada 150.' Planned for the exact same date as Canada Day—July 1—this national, Indigenous-led day of action will serve as a counter-action to the multi-million dollar, orgiastic commemoration of the country’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. A joint initiative of the movements known as Idle No More and Defenders of the Land, 'Unsettling Canada 150' will feature a series of events in the weeks leading up to July 1st. Our guests are Janice Makokis, legal scholar and First Nations advisor, and First Nations policy analyst Russ Diabo. // Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.

Russ Diabo, publisher/editor of the First Nations Strategic Bulletin, joins MEDIA INDIGENA's Rick Harp to discuss what, if anything, came out of a recent meeting on climate change between leaders of three national Aboriginal organizations, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada's premiers.   Our opening and closing theme is 'nesting' by Birocratic.
