Engaging with Industry and Politics: A Conversation with Deputy Chief Councillor Isaiah Robinson

In this episode of the Rez Dog Walkers Podcast, we are pleased to welcome back Isaiah Robinson, Deputy Chief Councillor for Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation and General Manager of Kitasoo Development Corporation. When he last came onto the podcast, Isaiah shared his experience and insight into navigating complex relationships between activists, government, and communities in the aquaculture industry. This episode naturally extends that discussion, as we delve once again into Indigenous participation in industry, this time in the wake of a federal election that put the Canadian government to the test. Join us as we discuss some of the most pressing issues faced by all Canadians, including housing and economic development, and the challenges and opportunities this presents to Indigenous communities. Isaiah highlights the importance of fully integrating environmental protection with economic growth, as well as some of the unique challenges his Nation faces, and the importance of trusting the knowledge and expertise of individual Nations when making decisions that impact those communities.  Hosted on Acast.
