    Nov 25 2020

In this, the final teaching, we discover that many still don’t want to face the many truths at the foundation of this tragic story.

    Episode 6: Respect
    Nov 25 2020
    In 1974, Anicinabe Park, in the sleepy town of Kenora, Ontario, was occupied by armed First Nations Peoples from across the continent who refused to leave till their demands were met. At the core of their occupation: a request for recognition and respect. They were tired of ever-present police brutality and their basic human rights being ignored. This is a story you’ve probably never heard of or know much about, but it stands side by side with more famous civil rights movements that happened across Turtle Island throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s.

    Episode 5: Honesty
    Nov 25 2020
    Members of Iskatewizaagegan or Shoal Lake 39 are trying to make an honest city out of Winnipeg. The First Nations community is demanding the city pay up after over 100 years of removing clean drinking water from the lake and shipping it via an aqueduct to the houses, businesses, and buildings in Winnipeg, without any compensation whatsoever. Is it fair to remove water and grow one city at the absolute expense of another community?

    Little did physician Michael Kirlew know that a last-minute residency in Sioux Lookout would lead to 13 years of providing medical care to First Nations People in a town that once had an “Indian Hospital,” a tool of apartheid. Dr. Kirlew, a Black Canadian, found a deep and meaningful purpose in his life when he moved to Sioux Lookout. It’s an experience that profoundly shaped his views on what it means to lead a life of wisdom.

    Episode 3: Humility
    Nov 25 2020

    We meet Lucille Atlookan, a young Indigenous woman from Eabametoong First Nation, and white artist Lora Northway. This story of learned humility emerges from what happened when their paths crossed at the Neechee Studio, an Indigenous art collective born out of patience, trauma, and strength. We see how their uneasy relationship is a stand-in for both the problems and the potential of their divided city, Thunder Bay.

    Welcome to Dennis Franklin Cromarty, one of two First Nations high schools. Every year, the students here demonstrate the teaching of bravery as they put their lives at risk to get a high school education. They leave their families, their communities, and everything they know to travel to the city of Thunder Bay, where not everyone welcomes them. The youth are pursuing their education against the backdrop of a series of unsolved deaths of other Indigenous students.
