Join J. Kehaulani Kauanui (Kanaka Maoli) and
guest co-host Jessica Yee (Mohawk), founder and Executive
Director of the Native Youth Sexual Health Network, for an episode
focusing on sexual violence against indigenous women in Canada - who is
enacting it and how indigenous women and their communities are responding.
We'll hear from Gloria Lacroque (Sturgeon Lake Cree
Nation) in Vancouver, British Columbia - an activist who played a
big part in getting the Museum of Anthropology to pull its exhibition
showing portraits of missing and murdered women. Then we will hear from
Madeleine Redfern (Inuit), Mayor of Iqaluit, Nunavut.
 She recently worked as Executive Director with
the Qikiqtani Truth Commission in Iqaluit. This episode also features the
music of Stephanie Harpe (Dene) from the CD collection, "Colours of
my Life,"  produced by Lacroque through
the Kookum Educating Traditional Acceptance Society (KETA) to promote the
concept of love towards the missing and/or murdered Aboriginal women of
Canada. The CD gained international attention when it became nominated for
"Best Producer" and "Best Compilation" for the Native
American Music Awards in 2010.  KETA was
founded to acknowledge and raise awareness of the issue of the missing and
murdered Aboriginal women of Canada and to promote a variety of
educational initiatives in order to instill stronger awareness that
Aboriginal people have a strong, rich, diverse culture.
