Brandi HoferHOST
So the 3,000 square foot wall, for example, is over 3,000 square feet.
Brandi HoferHOST
Huge community impact, huge meaning for Truth and Reconciliation.
Brandi HoferHOST
Same cost as a 12 by 4 foot sculpture.
Brandi HoferHOST
Right.
Nick SeabrookHOST
We also covered the invasion of a First Nations community in BC this past weekend by a white nationalist supremacist group and how this incident is leading to renewed calls for residential school denialism to be included in the criminal code as an incitement of hate.
Nick SeabrookHOST
Finally, we share an interview from our fellow podcasters over on Courage, My Friends, where host Resh Budhu interviews award-winning journalist Connie Walker and former executive director of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Kimberly Murray.
Nick SeabrookHOST
They talk about reconciliation and the need for that conversation to come hand-in-hand with truth.
Nick SeabrookHOST
You'll hear part of that conversation on this show next week.
Avi Abraham BenloloHOST
We acknowledge the profound harm inflicted on First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
Avi Abraham BenloloHOST
We believe reconciliation requires honesty, education, accountability, and meaningful education, including listening to Indigenous voices, supporting the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action.
Avi Abraham BenloloHOST
Every child matters.
Avi Abraham BenloloHOST
Today is also a day when a catastrophe was averted.
Peter MansbridgeHOST
And hello there, Peter Mansbridge here.
Peter MansbridgeHOST
This is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and here at SiriusXM, we are asked, and we ask you to think about truth and reconciliation.
Peter MansbridgeHOST
It's a statutory holiday here at this workplace.
Peter MansbridgeHOST
And so as a result, on this Wednesday, we are going to do a special encore podcast from a program we did, well, a little more than five years ago now.
Peter MansbridgeHOST
Today, he's still in the, uh, cabinet of the government of today, but he's the minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
Peter MansbridgeHOST
But then he was the minister responsible for Indigenous issues.
Peter MansbridgeHOST
The other guest was Murray Sinclair, who was the, uh, chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that traveled across the country, made its report, made its recommendations.
Peter MansbridgeHOST
And so at this time in twenty twenty-one, it was interesting to talk to both of these gentlemen.
Chadwick CowieGUEST
The Trudeau government was very focused on administrative forms of reconciliation.
Chadwick CowieGUEST
But when we see again on land, when we see on governance, when we see on working nation to nation on key things that not only the Truth to Reconciliation Commission recommended, but also what the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People suggested, they haven't, especially where it's considered under the provincial rights side.
Chadwick CowieGUEST
Um, because if it's a provincial right, then the provinces have to enact it.
Chadwick CowieGUEST
And again-
Talia SchlangerHOST
She's an Anishinaabe scholar, writer, and commentator from Abumatang First Nation who has done a ton of really impressive writing, including an article for The Walrus called A Fundamental Aspect of Reconciliation, Giving Back Stolen Land.
Talia SchlangerHOST
We'll talk about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action, which came out in 2015, and where we are coming up short on fulfilling them.
Talia SchlangerHOST
Riley will give you her take on what Land Back actually means.
Talia SchlangerHOST
And Riley reflects on what advocacy from an artist like Gore Downey can actually do in support of real meaningful change.
Riley YesnoGUEST
And I think that that is where we still need so much work to do.
Riley YesnoGUEST
Reconciliation generally as a transnational justice seeking tool, like it's not unique to Canada, right? I think there's been 40 all across the world.
Riley YesnoGUEST
South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission being the very famous one that kind of set the precedent for what we inherited.
Riley YesnoGUEST
There's two parts of it, that there's recognition.
Claudette CommandaGUEST
And this was always the intent.
Claudette CommandaGUEST
The intent of the Truth and Reconciliation, uh, Commission, their report, and the intent of Orange Shirt Day, the intent of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the intent for Every Child Matters was that for this action to come forward whereby the healing, the healing ha- the tr- through, um, through, um, on the foundation of truth, but Canadians indeed, it's not just a day to come together and a day off for people from work.
Claudette CommandaGUEST
This is a day of people to come and l- listen and learn, and following that, let's do action together because we do need allies.
Claudette CommandaGUEST
We need Canadian people to walk with us in the same way that we walk with others who are suffering, in the same way that we, we uplift all our peoples, in the same way we uplift all peoples.
Ellen StantonGUEST
Residential schools, much like the residential schools in the United States, forced the students to repudiate their culture and practiced, unfortunately, various acts of abuse.
Ellen StantonGUEST
There was a Truth and Reconciliation Commission that was formed in 2008 in Canada to address what happened in those schools and try to make some amends.
Ellen StantonGUEST
Indigenous rights are also addressed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, particularly in the areas of land title and duty to inform.
