Canitus Ad Wanted to Actully Have One Fil Thought

For our sixth-ever 'MINI' INDIGENA, host/producer Rick Harp is joined by roundtable regulars—and fellow APTN National News alumni—Ken Williams (assistant professor, University of Alberta's department of drama) and Trina Roache (Rogers Chair in Journalism, University of King's College) to discuss:

i) how some in Maine fear tribes potentially regaining some measure of sovereignty means they'll 'flex their muscle' on environmental, fish and wildlife, and economic development;

ii) whether the recent haul of hardware by Indigenous creatives at the Canadian Screen Awards means we can now get rid of special 'Indigenous' categories;

iii) how rampant and illegal poaching threatens wild white sage in California;

iv) whether those who toppled the controversial 'Gassy Jack' statue in downtown Vancouver were out of line for not first checking with regional Indigenous people
