From B.C. to the U.N. - Métis Leadership in Action with Dean Gladue & Carmen Carriere
Description
In this episode of the Métis Speaker Series, we sit down with Carmen Carriere, Minister of Health and Wellness and Chair of Métis Women BC, and Dean Gladue, Region 3 Director, Minister of Métis Rights, Minister of Sports and Active Living, and Associate Minister of Justice. They share insights from their recent trip to New York City, where they represented Métis Nation British Columbia at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. The Forum, guided by the principles of UNDRIP, sets global standards for the survival, dignity, and well-being of Indigenous peoples. Carmen and Dean reflect on what stood out most during the event, why international advocacy matters, and how they’re bringing those lessons home to their everyday work in B.C.
