Episode 116 of Warrior Life Podcast is a special panel conversation with Indigenous experts Dr. Winona Wheeler (Fisher River Cree Nation), Dr. Kim TallBear (Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate) and Dr. Veldon Coburn (Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation) on the issue of Indigenous identity fraud.

It is important to note that this discussion around Indigenous identity fraud does not refer to Indigenous peoples who were disconnected from their families, communities and Nations from residential schools, 60's scoop forced adoptions, foster care crisis, sex and race discrimination in the Indian Act's registration provisions, incarceration or any of the other colonial tools of forced assimilation and genocide.

Indigenous Identity Fraud

In Episode 117 of Warrior Life Podcast, we hear from Skyler Williams, Layla Staats and Logan Staats - Mohawks from Six Nations of the Grand River and part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. They share their experiences travelling to Wet'suwet'en territory to help protecting Wet'suwet'en Nation hereditary leaders, clan members and relatives protect the lands and waters from destruction by Coastal Gaslink pipeline. 

They shared some very difficult experiences related to the violence, taunting and degrading treatment they received in the hands of the RCMP, despite being unarmed and peaceful land defenders.
