MEDIA INDIGENA 166
Added 2019-06-15 20:16:55 +0000 UTCON THIS WEEK'S INDIGENOUS ROUNDTABLE:
Vetting the V-Word. “Victims” and “victimhood”—it's controversial conceptual territory for many, and depending on your vantage point, distressing for different reasons. In this, our third and final look at reactions stirred up by the report of the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, we get into when the word works for us or potentially works against us, a larger conversation prompted in part by this comment from Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew: "I have no interest in my sons seeing themselves as the victims or survivors of genocide."
Meanwhile, a number of thoughtful pieces about the MMIWG Inquiry's findings and calls for justice have come to our attention since our last episode, and we thought we'd pass them on to you here:
- Blowback to the word genocide proves the national inquiry report was right
- When Will North America Reckon With the Ongoing Genocide of Indigenous Women?
- Canada's Genocide: Murdered & Missing Indigenous Women and Girls [Warrior Life podcast]
- The week the media failed Canada
- Why are the deaths of Indigenous women and girls ungrievable?
- MMIWG an epidemic in U.S. as well as Canada, says North Dakota legislator
- Why “genocide” was used in the MMIWG report
- The MMIWG report: A call for decolonizing international law itself
- Canada's treatment of Indigenous peoples fits the definition of 'genocide'
