Brandi Morin On Her Arrest

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 15:24:36 GMT

Warrior Life PodcastBrandi Morin on Her ArrestOn today's episode of the Warrior Life Podcast, I get to talk to one of my sheroes - Brandi Morin from Michel First Nation. She is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist and one of the most dedicated and compassionate Indigenous journalists in North America.

Cindy Blackstock on AFN-Canada Settlement

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 12:46:02 GMT

Dr. Cindy Blackstock is from Gitxsan First Nation in BC and heads the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society. She is also a professor at McGill University in the School of Social Work. Cindy and her team won the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal case against Canada for racial discrimination against First Nations children in foster care and their families. Despite numerous non-compliance orders and the Federal Court of Canada upholding the decision, Canada has refused to pay the compensation.Since then, Canada and the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) negotiated a settlement agreement for a class action against Canada of the same subject matter. However, there are serious concerns about this agreement and whether it will impact the compensation already owed to these children from the CHRT.Cindy joined me on YouTube LIVE to give us an update on where things stand, and help answer the questions and concerns raised by First Nations people on social media.Link to the extended YouTube version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvnGuzY7oNw&t=317s The First Nations Child & Family Caring Society (FNCFCS) website has many resources to help you understand the litigation better.

Carole Geller Human Rights Award

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 11:00:21 GMT

Carole Geller Human Rights Award 2021: Kanahus Manuel & Tiny House Warriors-On November 9, 2021, Kanahus Manuel and the Tiny House Warriors were awarded the Carole Geller Human Rights Award for their role as Secwe̓pemc land defenders, taking action to protect their unceded lands - Secwepemcúĺecw. The Tiny House Warriors are a group of grassroots Indigenous leaders who, under the authority of Secwe̓pemc law, have been building tiny houses along the 518km Trans Mountain pipeline route, as a way to stop the pipeline, which poses serious risks to the health, safety and well-being of Secwe̓pemc lands, waters and people – especially women and girls. -The Carole Geller Award is given periodically to an individual or group that is involved in a particularly important human rights struggle. The award is intended to assist recipients in their continued work in organizing for social justice and human rights and is named for Carole Geller - one of Canada’s pioneers in advancing the cause of human rights. -Carole Geller began her work in the human rights field in 1967 when she was the President of the Manitoba Voice of Women. She became the first Director of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission in 1973, where she promoted stronger human rights protections, affirmative action policies, and equal pay for work of equal value. In 1985 Ms. Geller became the first Executive Director of Manitoba's Pay Equity Bureau. Ms. Geller died of cancer in November 1987 and this award was started in her honour. This is the seventh time the award has been given. -Kanahus Manuel and the other Tiny House Warriors are experiencing surveillance, harassment, violence, and criminalization for their defence of human rights. It is critical to not only recognize their struggle and their important human rights work, but also support them financially as the criminalization of human rights defenders comes with significant legal costs. This award comes with $15,000 to support them and their rising legal costs.-Award Committee Members: Shelagh Day, Kathleen Ruff and Murray Dobbin (rest in peace Murray).-More information about the award and past winners:https://www.povertyandhumanrights.org/2021/11/the-carole-geller-award/-More information about Tiny House Warriors:http://www.tinyhousewarriors.com/-Go Fund Me page for Tiny House Warriors:https://www.gofundme.com/f/legal-defense-fund-for-tiny-house-warriors-Tiny House Warriors contact:tinyhousewarriors@gmail.com-Kanahus Manuel Twitter handle = KanahusFreedom-Link to the shorter YouTube (video) version herehttps://youtu.be/x4cCQiUP2CU------FOLLOW ME ON TIKTOK @pp2coolFOLLOW ME ON IG @pam_palmaterFOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @Pam_Palmater---Please note: Nothing in this podcast/video advocates for violence on Indigenous territories.-Please also note: The information contained in this podcast/video should not be misconstrued as legal, financial or medical advice, nor should it be relied on as such.

Judy Wilson & Ellen Gabriel on Canada's Failed National Action Plan

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 15:11:06 GMT

In Episode 99 of the Warrior Life Podcast, we talk to two Indigenous warrior women who have long advocated for the health, safety and well-being of Indigenous women and children: Kukpi7 Chief Judy Wilson and Katsi'tsakwas Ellen Gabriel. They joined me to talk about Canada's failed National Action Plan to address the ongoing genocide that is murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls. Kukpi7 Chief Judy Wilson is the Chief of Neskonlith Indian Band in BC and also serves as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. Chief Judy is an advocate of language, culture, history, aboriginal rights and title for Secwépemc communities and she is grounded in the work that matters to our peoples daily lives. Katsi'tsakwas Ellen Gabriel was well-known as the former spokesperson chosen by the People of the Longhouse and her community of Kanehsatà:ke during the 1990 “Oka” Crisis. She’s also served as President of the Quebec Native Women’s Association and has been an Indigenous human rights and environmental activist for decades.

RCMP Invasion of We'suwet'en Territory Breach of Rule of Law

Fri, 06 Sep 2019 18:26:05 GMT

Episode 33, is based on an article I wrote for Canadian Dimension Magazine back in April about Canada’s so-called “rule of law” invasions of our territories.

But in fact, their acts are prime examples of breaches Canada’s ‘rule of law’.Here is the link to the article I referenced that was in Canadian Dimension Magazine:https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/rcmp-invasion-of-wetsuweten-nation-territory-breaches-canadas-rule-of-lawHere is a link to my book: Indigenous Nationhood: Empowering Grassroots Citizens, which is a collection of shorter blogs which cover some of the issues raised in this podcast:https://amzn.to/2PR7NTUHere is a link to a new textbook on "radical politics" where I have a chapter on Indigenous resistance politics:https://amzn.to/2LuacPeIf you would like to help me keep my content independent, please consider supporting my work at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/join/2144345Note: The information contained in this podcast is not legal, financial or medical advice, nor should it be relied on as such.If you would like more information about these issues, you can check out my website at www.pampalmater.comThank you all for your ongoing support!Photo credit: This is the photo that accompanied my article in Canadian Dimension Magazine and was taken by Amber Bracken.
