Sista C presents another episode of the Powered By Age Podcast:

Charlotte recaps why we – like concerned community organizations across the country – are Commemorating instead of Celebrating Indigenous People’s Day this year. In light of the painful news that 700+ more bodies of Indigenous Children- and possibly some adults  have been discovered on the grounds of a Residential School, we  had a lively g discussion of our understanding and feelings about, these words: Indigenous, Unceeded,  Treaty, Traditional, Reconciliation,  Sovereignty, Nationhood. While our opinions or experiences varied, we concluded that such discussions are essential in helping non-Indigenous people become better informed and serve as allies and advocates for children, families, and organizations seeking to rectify emotional, educational and financial injustices against the first inhabitants of Canada and other disenfranchised people. Participants: #Charlotte Sista C Ferrell, Gail, Nansey, Jesse, Mario, Neall. 

In this episode we have special guests:  Vancouver artist Mark Art Prosser, Juno Award winner Brittney Slayes from Unleash The Archers, and Vancouver rock n' rollers Benny Kemp and Nate Pole from Rebel Priest.  Listen to your favorite segment or listen to the whole show.  Just click on the play button and Wham Bam EAST VAN, you're there...you're here...eh, you know what I mean.
