Host: Shawn Spruce
Land Back, as a hashtag and a movement, expands beyond our U.S. borders. For Indigenous people, it means taking back positions as stewards of the land and bringing balance to the community. First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Land Back movements and initiatives are very similar to those in the U.S., but with a different history of colonialism, an era of Truth and Reconciliation, and a growing number of land management programming. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce speaks with Qwustenuxun (Cowichan), Quw’utsun chef, award-winning writer, and Indigenous foods educator, and dr. linda manyguns (Blackfoot), associate vice-president of Indigenization and decolonization at Mount Royal University.
