In Episode 96  of the Warrior Life Podcast, we talk to two leading Indigenous legal experts about Bill C-15 - the federal legislation intended to create a National Action Plan to ensure Canada's laws are compliant with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). 

Professor Brenda Gunn and the Honourable Murray Sinclair help us understand the human rights protections contained in UNDRIP and they address the many concerns and misconceptions related to Bill C-15. 

The Honourable Dr. Sinclair is Anishinabe whose list of accomplishments is very long as he has worked as a lawyer and professor; associate chief judge of the provincial court of Manitoba; co-commissioner on the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry of Manitoba; Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada; Senator; and now works at the law firm of Cochrane Saxberg.

Professor Brenda Gunn is Metis lawyer and professor at UofM law, who is a well-known expert on international law and done a significant amount of international human rights work including: research to promote greater conformity between international laws protecting Indigenous rights and domestic laws; community legal aid clinic in Guatemala on a case of genocide submitted to the IACHR; provides technical assistance to the UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; AND she wrote a handbook about understanding and implementing UNDRIP.

Michael Linklater on Sports, Culture & Braids

Today’s podcast is the first for 2022 - Happy New Year everyone! This podcast is from a keynote I did for Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs (APC) for the Atlantic Indigenous Health Conference held in March 2021.

I have dedicated this episode to my cousin Candy Palmater who passed away unexpectedly on Christmas morning. She left a powerful legacy of love and compassion for our peoples. She wanted us to remember to love ourselves as we are and be the soft place to fall for our relatives so deeply traumatized by genocide.

At the time, I didn’t know that my cousin Candy would be chairing the conference, so it was such a nice surprise I saw her face and heard her voice. It was hard not to get emotional when she introduced me, but it was the end of the keynote that I will always remember.

So, here is the my keynote lecture, q and a session and the conversation I had at the end with my sweet cousin Candy.
