November 03, 2019 #wexit? Sounds Great, I can't wait to have the land back!
Following the recent federal election there is now talk about Western Canadian separation which, of course, does NOT include conversations about what that means for Indigenous. I also talk about the role of non profit corporations in the oppression of Indigenous people and the constant expectations on Indigenous to provide their knowledge and time for free to all sorts of events and the impact that has.
