I love N'we Jinan's promise: going out to underserved (mostly FNMI) communities to produce art with students. Every now and then they drop a track that rises above the rest, and I can't stop listening. Thursday's "Gotta Be Free" from Gakijiwanong Anishinaabe Nation is a fantastic song!

What should we do about "Pretendians" - academics, politicians, authors, film-makers, etc., who claim Indigenous heritage, on false or willfully deluded, grounds? The Senate is debating this complicated issue, and I spoke to the issue this week, starting with the intriguing complexities of Alberta senator James Gladstone, the first "Status Indian" to serve in the Senate of Canada. https://youtu.be/qmnwBOWk-fM #SenateofCanada #abpoli #FNMI #Pretendians #SenCa #indigenous #ableg #GreyOwl
