MEDIA INDIGENA 173
Added 2019-08-12 14:00:03 +0000 UTCSHOW 7 IN OUR SUMMER SERIES:
On this week’s collected, connected conversations: the other half of our two-part look at remaking the Indigenous family. Last episode, we got into the colonial principles of Settler family forms and norms. This episode, we lay out how they are applied in practice, with Indigenous people often on the receiving end. And if the expression “What you believe in, you budget” holds true here, it would seem the Canadian state has never been one to believe in either Indigenous children or their families.
Featured voices this podcast include (in order of appearance):
- Sarah de Leeuw, Research Associate with the National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health (NCCIH)
- Kenn Richard, founder and former Executive Director, Native Child and Family Services of Toronto
- Brock Pitawanakwat, Associate Professor of Indigenous Studies at York University, along with journalist and photographer Wawmeesh Hamilton
