This week, our penultimate program of 2023 reunites Kim and Ken for another mini INDIGENA (the rough and ready version of MEDIA INDIGENA) to discuss an array of items, including:

  • a response to pushback against our discussion (ep 334) about state vs. federal recognition of tribes in the U.S.
  • the mass resignation of CN Rail’s Indigenous Advisory Council, citing “the company's ineffective use of the Council's strategic input”
  • plans announced for Anishinaabemowin version of the first ‘Star Wars’ movie
  • Canadian bureaucrats crow about their new eagle-shaped correctional building “to support Indigenous inmates on their rehabilitation journey,” to which Twitter naturally reacted
