On Monday Dec. 11, 2017, Masuma Asad Khan, an Afghan settler and Muslim woman, and I, an Algonquin Anishinaabe-kwe, were interviewed by Alnoor Gova of the Vancouver CO-OP Radio 100.5FM, based in Coast Salish Territories / Vancouver.

In her part of the segment Masuma discusses the backlash she faced as the Vice President of Academic and External for the Dalhousie Student Union after a motion was passed to not support the Canada150 celebration, but rather to recognize Canada day as an ongoing celebration of genocide against Indigenous people.

Previously Masuma posted, "councilors voted to abstain from the Canada 150 celebrations. We recognize that Canada Day and the Canada 150 celebrations are an act of ongoing colonialism that glorifies continued theft from, and disenfranchisement of, the indigenous peoples of Turtle Island." 

In the second part of the segment I discuss my work on the Algonquin land claims process, the sex discrimination in the Indian Act, and the further destruction of the Creator’s First Sacred Pipe, known as Chaudiere Falls, and the Islands.  I argued they are all aspects of Canada’s larger policy of genocide against Indigenous people.

Take the time and listen to the entire podcast.  What is interesting is that Masuma and I had no idea we were part of the same segment.
