On this week’s Roots & Hoots episode, the Legacy of Hope Foundation’s host, Gordon Spence, is joined by Albert Beck, Métis human rights activist, where they discuss his life experiences and the impacts of the Sixties Scoop.
Mr. Beck is Métis from Winnipeg, Manitoba living in Ottawa, Ontario, and has been involved in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) education, policy and program initiatives for Indigenous Peoples in Canada for decades. In 2016, he received the HIV Exceptional Leadership Award for his dedication, passion, leadership and commitment to the Indigenous acquired immunodeficiency syndrome movement in Canada. On the international front, Mr. Beck became the first Métis citizen to be part of the Indigenous Fellowship Program offered by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland. He is the past President of the Ontario Aboriginal HIV/AIDS Strategy and is married to his best friend Craig Phillips. Mr. Beck is currently working with the Métis National Council as a Senior Policy Analyst and Ministerial Sixties Scoop Advisor for their national engagement process.
