This is a well thought out/well executed series. The questions are sound and the responses direct to the point. I am First Nations and have a good store of knowledge but I am, much to my delight, learning some details of which I was either not sure or not aware, I.e., the differences between hereditary chiefs and those elected, and the attitude of the federal government toward both groups. Phil Fontaine, Kathleen Mahoney and Lisa LaFlamme are doing a stellar job and giving us much to think about.
These are very informative. I am 64 and part Indigenous, and live in ON. These help to understand the conflicts between different tribes and how government and church play(ed) a role.
Incredible series this. Just finished all 4 episodes. Super informative, real, and true to the principles of cultural storytelling. Kudos to everyone involved!
It's not about control for power. It is about maintaining access to resources in such a way that it serves the interests of all who inhabit the nation, both at the indigenous and the federal level. That is precisely where we need to work by filling that "empty box" of Section 32(?). Perhaps that is one example of waving or braiding a reconciliation between these two forms of governance so they can become one.
There is great and not so great stories, my mom and others said the boarding schools saved them, my brothers, and sisters had mixed experience. One thing they always said is, do not dwell on the past or that is where you will be held a prisoner. They said stand tall embrace the moment, be grateful for all things, let the challenges, and past make you stronger, DO NOT have self pity, or depend on anyone, especially the evil govt. If the Indians would just STOP with the poor me attitude, and ill informed history being portrayed (one sided) the faster they can move forward to start contributing to society.

Politicians just want power. It’s unfortunate the Indigenous were treated horribly.
