#31. Onekanew (Chief) Christian Sinclair of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation explains how their First Nation is building an economy of well-being

#31. January 21, 2020. Christian Sinclair is the leader, or Onekanew in Cree (an alternative name for 'chief), of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation located in The Pas, Manitoba, a community of 6.200 people located 6 hours north of Winnipeg. I met Christian at the first Indigenomics conference in Vancouver in May 2019. He purchased a copy of my book and called me 2 days later noting that my vision for an economy of well-being was in line with his own vision for his Opaskwayak Nation. Christian is a former Canadian military snipper and understands the art of military strategy. He is leading his Nation on a bold journey towards an economy of well-being, following in the recent footsteps of New Zealand, Scotland, Iceland and recently Finland. Christian and I spoke January 14, 2020 in his office about his vision for developed what would be Canada's first community (and First Nation) to adopt a working model of an economy of well-being. ** My apologies for the low audio volume on my end of the interview.
