Native CalgarianHappy New YearWelcome to 2020. 2019 ended with some great things such as baby Yoda and the Rise of Skywalker, but 2020 is back to business as usual with racism in a lecture, and no support for a professer speaking out against racism. Also seeing that lateral violence is still a thing in 2020. 1 year later still have more news coming out of the Wet'suwet'en/Unist'ot'en camp.

Native CalgarianKarly Cywink: Am I Indian Enough?I am joined by an amazing young Indigenous woman, Karly Cywink. We talk about a video she was part of called Am I Indian Enough. I enjoyed our conversation about identity and safe spaces for Indigenous people. It is amazing to see the younger generations of Indigenous finding their voices, healing, and becoming such strong Indigenous people.

Native Calgarian#wexit? Sounds Great, I can't wait to have the land back!Following the recent federal election there is now talk about Western Canadian separation which, of course, does NOT include conversations about what that means for Indigenous. I also talk about the role of non profit corporations in the oppression of Indigenous people and the constant expectations on Indigenous to provide their knowledge and time for free to all sorts of events and the impact that has.
