			<description><![CDATA[The day after Premier Andrew Furey gifted the fossil fuel industry with $25 million in public money, southwest Newfoundland was flooded by a weather formation known as an "atmospheric river." The frequency and severity of atmospheric rivers are increasing due to climate change, of which the burning of fossil fuels are a major factor. This week, we discuss atmospheric rivers and climate change with two experts: atmospheric scientist Rachel White of the University of British Columbia and meteorologist Marty Ralph of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[A warning to our listeners: this week's episode talks about residential schools, trauma, and violence against Indigenous peoples. Please listen with care.  This week, we speak with Mary Ann Nui, Deputy Grand Chief of the Innu Nation, about the impact on her and her community after the discovery of a mass grave of 215 Indigenous children on the grounds of what was once the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Later in the show, Karen Pictou of the Nova Scotia Native Women's Association tells us about the fight to stop the proposed Goldboro LNG plant on Nova Scotia's eastern shore, which would include a 5,000-person camp largely made up of men, and the dangers it could pose to Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. RESOURCES If you or someone you know needs someone to talk to, you can contact the Indian Residential School Survivors Society for counselling support available at 1-800-721-0066, or a national 24/7 Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.Read the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls here: https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/ Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's final report here: http://www.trc.ca/about-us/trc-findings.html<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest political issues in Maine these days is a bid by Hydro Quebec to push a corridor through pristine wilderness to carry power across the state to Massachusetts.

This week, we speak with John Banks of the Penobscot Nation and Becky Bartovics of Sierra Club Maine about the impact of this corridor on the land, and the ways in which land defenders based in the U.S. are supporting Innu in their bid for Churchill Falls hydro compensation.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[In theory, everyone living in what is now Canada should be able to file access to information and privacy (ATIP) or freedom of information (FOI) requests with their governing bodies. In practice, it isn't always that simple—especially when it comes to First Nation bands. This week, our intern-in-residence, Ellen Riopelle, tries to find out why it's so difficult—and, at times, impossible—to access information about First Nations governments. We hear from former Elsipogtog chief Susan Levi-Peters and reporters Wawmeesh Hamilton and Paul Barnsley about how a lack of access affects not only those filing the requests, but communities at large.A big thank you to Ellen, who has been with us since April working on this story, and to King's College for facilitating the internship.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Marathon Gold Corporation has released its environmental impact statement on the controversial Valentine Lake mega-mine. Marathon acknowledges there will be "significant" negative effects on the Buchans Plateau caribou herd—already at historic low numbers—and it is not known if mitigation measures will work. The release of the Marathon impact statement begins the period for public comments, which can be sent to iaac.valetine.aeic@canada.ca. Here at Mi'kmaq Matters, we're using public participation funds from the Impact Assessment Agency to review the Marathon submissions on caribou. This week, we speak with our lead researcher, Dr. Brian McLaren, a caribou expert and professor at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

It has since emerged, however, that the band received multiple notices about the spraying over the past four months and did nothing to stop it. The herbicide has made hundreds of gallons of blueberries and bakeapples unfit to eat.

			<description><![CDATA[After developing his navigational skills on the West Coast of "Newfoundland," James Cook arrived on the east coast of Australia in 1770. The 250th anniversary of that date gives special significance to this year's Invasion Day, the term Indigenous people give the government-recognized 'Australia Day'—the country's national holiday. But it's a day that, for many Indigenous Australians, marks the beginning of the violence and oppression they continue to face today. Our guest this week is pastor and Indigenous rights activist Ray Minniecon, speaking with us from Australia.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[A reflection on the past 100 episodes, and a discussion of our plan going forward. Over the past three years, our small, two-person team has been covering the issues of concern to Mi’kmaq people in so-called Newfoundland and beyond. Time after time, we’ve been the first—and, too often, the only—to report on Mi’kmaq-focused stories.Mi’kmaq Matters promises to be there for you in the future just as we have been in the past. We’ve reached 100 episodes without any financial help, but we now need your support in order to expand our coverage and to continue to improve our content, both technically and journalistically. We now have a Mi’kmaq Matters Patreon page to allow listeners to make a small, monthly contribution to independent Mi’kmaq journalism (https://www.patreon.com/mikmaqmatters). We’ll use the money to invest in better equipment, to sustain a website that will host all of our multimedia output, and to fund reporting trips to the areas of our territory that are most at risk. We commit to remaining accountable to you, the listener, as we, in turn, endeavour to hold those in power accountable to the land, water, and to the Mi’kmaq people.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Without having consulted the Mi'kmaq people who have used the lands over centuries, a mammoth gold mine is being developed in the Valentine Lake area of central Newfoundland. Jamie Kneen, the Communications and Outreach Coordinator for MiningWatch Canada, discusses the potential environmental risks the development could have on the surrounding ecosystems. Of particular concern is the potential impact to the watershed of central and northeastern Newfoundland due to the use of an ore processing technique called "heap leaching"—a low-cost but controversial process because of its role in mine accidents elsewhere.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
