MEDIA INDIGENA 137
Added 2018-10-25 17:11:42 +0000 UTCHey everybody,
It took farrrr longer than usual due to some unforeseen delays (some technical, some not), but we finally have our latest episode ready for your listening enjoyment. I gotta say, even as I edited it after the fact, parts of the show still had me laughing out loud.
On this week’s program, recorded live October 18 in Winnipeg, we stir the pot now that Canada’s cannabis countdown is complete, making it only the second country in the world to legalize marijuana.
But what could this all mean for Indigenous peoples? Some see cannabis as the great green hope, but others aren’t nearly so high on the plant’s prospects for prosperity. In part one of our wide-ranging discussion, we explore matters of jurisdiction and justice with University of Alberta associate professor of Native Studies Kim TallBear, special guest Tim Fontaine, Editor-in-Grand-Chief of Walking Eagle News, and cannabis beat reporter Solomon Israel of TheLeafNews.com.
