Listen on

Episode notes

This week, our penultimate program of 2023 reunites Kim and Ken for another mini INDIGENA (the rough and ready version of MEDIA INDIGENA) to discuss an array of items, including:

• a response to pushback against our discussion about state vs. federal recognition of tribes in the U.S.
• the mass resignation of CN Rail’s Indigenous Advisory Council, citing “the company's ineffective use of the Council's strategic input”
• plans announced for Anishinaabemowin version of the first ‘Star Wars’ movie
• Canadian bureaucrats crow about their new eagle-shaped correctional building “to support Indigenous inmates on their rehabilitation journey,” to which Twitter naturally reacted
