In this episode, I sit down with Bob Joseph, President & CEO of Indigenous Corporate Training Inc., who has been educating organizations on Indigenous relations since 1994. He is the author of 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act and 21 Things You Need to Know about Indigenous Self-Government, and brings both lived experience and generational leadership to this work. An initiated member of the Hamatsa Society, Bob holds a chief's seat in the Gayaxala (Thunderbird) clan of the Gwawa'enuxw Nation, part of the Kwakwaka'wakw peoples. His chief name, K'axwsumala'galis - "whale who emerges and presents itself to the world" - reflects the depth and visibility of the leadership he carries.
Together, we explore what it means to move beyond dependency on the Indian Act and toward self-governance and why this moment in history calls for a different level of responsibility, education, and action.
In this episode we explore,
- Reclaiming the potlatch ceremony
- Understanding free, prior & informed consent
- An approach to training that creates behavioural change
- Breaking the cycle of dependency on the Indian Act
- The evolution of Indigenous Relations since the 90's
- Moving toward self-government
