Join Kait as she welcomes Aaron Tootoosis, Program Head at SaskPolytech and Member of the Speaker’s Bureau of the Office of the Treaty Commissioner. This is a deep dive episode of Indigenous history that’s rich with little-discussed facts, including insights on the many amendments to the Indian Act, and their impacts on Indigenous people across Canada.
Aaron is Plains Cree from the Poundmaker Indian Reserve in Treaty 6 Territory and proudly shares the history and his knowledge with our listeners.
Key timestamps include:
(#1) 2:35- Treaties, The Indian Act and its effect on our society.
(#2) 9:05- Amendment History and the changing Indian Act
(#3) 36:37- Educational Opportunities for growth and change.
This poignant, touching and educational episode is a must-listen.
