This week: our second, long-overdue MINI INDIGENA of the season features regulars Trina Roache (Rogers Chair in Journalism at the University of King’s College) and Kim TallBear (professor in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta) as they join host/producer Rick Harp to discuss:
• Why we don’t necessarily love the idea of a First Nations person as Canada’s next top cop
• How a few Winnipeggers ain't lovin' some newly-proposed Indigenous names for city streets
• Why Kim hates the idea of “Native heritage” as used by settlers
• Monthly Patreon podcast supporter Raven asks: “What's your thoughts on the term ‘descendian’ (someone with distant Indigenous ancestry or connection) vs. ‘pretendian’?
