This is a special repeat presentation of a program that was originally broadcast last year for Canada 150 on CJSW-90.9FM, Calgary’s award-winning campus and community radio station based at the University of Calgary. As part of special programming for the nation’s sesquicentennial, CJSW organized ‘Untold Canada’, a program showcasing little-heard stories from Canadian history.

Featuring overlooked indigenous perspectives, hidden tales from the archives of Calgarian cultural associations and more, Untold Canada aims to inform, inspire and to provoke the listener into investigating what else has gone untold in the official Canadian historical narrative.

On this first episode, Hannah Many Guns facilitates a group of Indigenous voices sharing their response to Canada 150 including interviews with Ian Campeau (DJ NDN of a Tribe Called Red); Piikani elder Reg Crowshoe, Sisksika elder Clarence Wolfleg, Daniel Voth (Assistant Professor of Indigenous Politics at the University of Calgary) and Cheryle Chagnon-Greyeyes (University of Calgary Native Centre).

This episode was recorded and aired on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy and people of Treaty 7.
