Mishoo miinwaa Noki ~ You, Me and Wrinkles – The Elder Abuse Prevention Podcast

SCAMS!! 

The Story:

When a widow is cheated, nobody steps up to take responsibility. It’s a scam! Who is this guy?  Where does the buck stop?  The late Elder Rose Peltier reflects on the act of “Respect”, now and in the past, and passes along her wisdom and wishes. 

The Discussion:
 It takes bravery and social responsibility to counter this problem. Don’t be afraid to act. Officer Jason Cranny asks people to please report scams to authorities, and tells us why that’s so important. Counsellors David Root and Dorothy Wassegijig-Kennedy advocate stepping outside the box of service silos in open-hearted, responsive ways – which is necessary if you’re going to really help people asking for support – like talking to people in their own language.  A survivor speaks about key steps in her journey as she sought to successfully help herself.  Other discussion focuses on the role of friends and family, Band Council, seniors’ services, on/off reserve services and more.

The Cast:
Gloria May Eshkibok, Daniel Gonzales, Bernadette Eshkawkogan, Fawn Aiabens Jacko, Marjorie Trudeau, Daniel Peltier, Jeff Eshkawkogan, Brenda Wabie, Dorothy Kennedy, Kitty Medweiash Bell, Danielle Roy McDonald, Paul Hartmann and Rose Peltier. Facilitated and directed by Joan Chandler.

A continuation of Thieves, Part 1. 

The story: 
Teenagers steal from and injure their grandfather. 

The discussion:
Someone says, “We don't want to get to a point where the police are involved, but they might have to be.” What would happen if the police were called in? What could be the role of other authority figures, a counselor or an Elder be in this situation?  Police, service providers, Elders and survivors answer those questions, and talk about some responses they’ve used to keep elders and children safe.  From policing to pastry, to non-formal checks and sacred fires, or safe places and case conferencing, there are resources and people you can trust.  “It takes generations to heal, but every single person does it bit by bit during their whole life.”

The stories: Teenagers steal from and injure grandfather; sweet memories of grandmother’s wrinkles.
