The Right to Hunt & Harvest: Part 1 (ep 263)

On this week's collected, connected conversations (the fourth in our summer series), we go on the hunt for some rights recognition. Rights rooted in the 'radical' notion that Indigenous peoples ought to be able to live off their lands and waters. But, as we'll hear over these next two episodes, those harvests are hampered—not only by the imposition of restrictions, but through the endangerment of the non-human relatives we've long relied on. Featured voices this podcast include (in order of appearance): • Patrice Mousseau, entrepreneur • Ken Williams, assistant professor with the University of Alberta's Department of Drama • Community organizer and youth advocate Michael Redhead Champagne • Criminologist Lisa Monchalin • Candis Callison, Associate Professor in the Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies and the School of Journalism, Writing and Media at UBC • Kim TallBear, associate professor in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples, Technoscience & Environment This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of Kwetasel'wet (Vera Wood). // CREDITS: This episode was edited and produced by Stephanie Wood and Rick Harp.
