Conversations About Decolonization, Episode 7/ Sovereign Lands

In this episode of our ongoing journey to learn more about the Indigenous experience of life in Canada, we explore what Indigenous relationship to the land really means. It's a whole lot more than finding a dot on a map! We're referencing Module 8 in the Indigenous Canada Course.

From Indigenous worldview to Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to the impacts of settlement on Indigenous people, and to key legal decisions around Aboriginal Land Title:  we seek to understand the importance of the land in matters of economy, culture, health and spirituality.  We take a look at threats to Indigenous lands, and what's being done to address ongoing harms .
