Today's Indigenous Futures - Governance Edition
Description
In this episode we continue the conversation we had in June and bring in some new voices as we discuss issues related to indigenous self-governance. The reason that we want to explore this this topic is the clear tie that indigenous rights has on issues related to resource extraction and preservation. Further we consider how issues of governance moves the conversation from the idea of empowerment towards access to actual power for these communities.
