Ep. 152: Claiming Indigenous Rights to the 5G Wireless Radio Spectrum

On this week's Indigenous roundtable: high-tech treaty rights. According to Māori in New Zealand, their treaty rights don't just extend to resources of the land and sea, they also include a fair share of the radio spectrum known as 3G, 4G and (soon) 5G, that set of telecommunication frequencies our wireless devices depend on. But the reception from the Settler state so far has been anything but great. Joining host/producer at the roundtable this week are Candis Callison, Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies at Princeton University, and Kim TallBear, associate professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta. // Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.
