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.

Post-reconciliation, pre-reckoning: A year in Indigenous–federal relations
Q: Why did you bring that one up for the look back?
Joy Spearsheaf-Morris says the Major Projects Office was a defining and disappointing feature of Carney's administration, exposing divisions among Indigenous groups and raising tensions over consultation and the Alberta MOU.
Post-reconciliation, pre-reckoning: A year in Indigenous–federal relations
Q: What was it at the assembly that you wanted to talk about as the big story of the year?
Alessia Pasafumi says the notable shift was that federal ministers met chiefs on terms the government had not set. She says Carney committed to water legislation, but the announcement delayed a promise that had already been postponed, and he also committed to a First Ministers' meeting.
Bigger issues for First Nations than the Indian Act says columnist
Q: What do you think of their chances of winning?
Mark Trahant said Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota and Mary Peltola in Alaska were favored, and that having multiple Native women in the Senate could help them coordinate and build a strategy.
Bigger issues for First Nations than the Indian Act says columnist
Q: What were your thoughts on how that all played out?
Rose LeMay called the press conference awkward and said the closed meeting left the public with little information and many questions. She argued that similar meetings need to happen more regularly and with greater transparency.
Greenland fears ripple across the Arctic
Q: Can you tell our viewers how these sweeps are affecting Native Americans?
Trahant describes tribal citizens being detained in several locations, including a Navajo man who had tribal identification and other documents. He says tribal communities are asserting jurisdiction and treaty rights, while ICE stops are increasingly affecting Native Americans.
