Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 44 ratings
  • Fantastic to have a podcast on Indigenous issues

    Would prefer more actual stats and specifics on what indigenous groups are concerned and affected by an issue and how many agree or disagree on an issue. Words like some and many don’t really mean anything

  • Great coverage of issues

    This is a very informative, well moderated podcast covering important Indigenous issues. I only give this 4 stars because I find the political panels are more about emphasizing repetitive political stances rather than learning about important issues, so I often find myself skipping through it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Two competing plans on Child Welfare: Government Reform vs First Nations Control
Q: Your plan says something different. Tell us how your plan sets us up.
Cindy Blackstock says the First Nations plan gives First Nations leadership a central role, builds in enforceable accountability, and is informed by submissions from First Nations and their experts, unlike what she characterizes as the federal plan's limited role for First Nations.
Two competing plans on Child Welfare: Government Reform vs First Nations Control
Q: Can you just help us understand what the difference is between the law that was passed and what's happening at the tribunal?
Cindy Blackstock explains that the law sets national minimum standards and offers a path for First Nations jurisdiction, but does not require federal funding for First Nations lawmaking. The Tribunal process addresses Canada's discrimination through underfunding and control of child and family services.
Conservative MP Morin urges Albertans to vote for Canada in upcoming referendum
Q: What do you say to the government's argument that expanding resource projects will help Canada become more independent from the United States?
Na'Moks argues that projects are being sold to U.S. companies and that decisions made behind closed doors undermine democracy and Indigenous rights.
Conservative MP Morin urges Albertans to vote for Canada in upcoming referendum
Q: Where do you personally stand on the upcoming Alberta vote on whether the province should start negotiations to separate from Canada?
