  • Settler Re-education 101

    This podcast has enabled me to hear the perspectives of native scholars I wouldn’t have any contact with otherwise. As a white settler working in construction there simply aren’t many natural ways I would come across these perspectives. This is concerning as in recent years white construction workers started voting, this wasn’t the case 10+ years ago. Thanks for some re-education

  • My Favourite Podcast!

    Media Indigena has been & continues to be my most anticipated podcast. Rick is a great host & the panelists are academics, experts in their fields & well beyond. This podcast is wise, informative and often funny (which is amazing because the topics are often difficult). They cover a wide range of subjects & current issues - many not covered at all (& definitely not with full comprehension) by mainstream media.

    Some of the academic concepts & terms are unfamiliar to non-academics like me.... more

  • Smart & Informative

    Love the show!

    A very useful location app to use is “what3words”. Used off-line, to communicate non-addressed locations, use words rather than gps numbers. Name / find an exact location, doorway or trail-marker, or add it to photos. Used around the globe for search and rescue; Some Canadian gov’t organizations have adopted it in 2020.

  • Unbalanced

    Although informative and articulate, the authors and speakers miss out on contemporary issues nuances. I was expecting more centrist position but I found it a bit too left-of-centre for my liking.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Storytelling on stolen land: Indigenous eyes on Canadian politics, Pt 2 (ep 359)
Q: What advice would you give to young Indigenous journalists?
Stay strong and do not give up; representation at all levels in the media is crucial for change.
Do statutes of limitations apply to treaties with First Nations? Canada sure hopes so (ep 332)
Q: How does the Canadian government justify the limitations on treaty land entitlement?
The government argues that statutory limitations, such as the Limitations Act of Alberta, prevent claims from being pursued after a certain period.
Carbon Colonialism and Culpability (ep 336)
Q: What's the implication of your analysis for countries like the UK regarding their responsibility for climate change?
The UK emerges as a much larger contributor to climate change when accounting for colonial impacts, obligating it to provide resources and support to address climate change globally.
Carbon Colonialism and Culpability (ep 336)
Q: Did you kind of wrestle with this kind of murkiness I'm trying to lay out?
Yes, determining when colonial rule starts and ends is complex, and we relied on a database to guide our responsibility allocations.
Carbon Colonialism and Culpability (ep 336)
Q: What do you hope it will add to global discussions and debate about climate change to talk about cumulative colonial carbon emissions?
The analysis provides a framework for understanding historical responsibility related to climate change, particularly how emissions from colonial times affect present-day discussions on accountability and reparations.
