Restoring a First Nations Perspective on Treaty and Natural Resource Rights - Part 2

Thinking Faith Catholic Podcast

In this part two of two episodes, Indigenous ally, Javed Sommers and Micheal Leblanc of Development and Peace Caritas Canada join the podcast to discuss treaty and natural resource rights through an Indigenous lens. Show Snippet: "Free prior and informed consent. It's all about free consent. So there's no bullying, there's no harassment, there's not even bribes. The communities get together and decide freely if they want a new project. "Prior" means before anything gets done. There's no construction, no surveying nothing until the communities give their consent. And "Informed", means they have to be educated, they have to know exactly what's going to happen. They have to know what it means."
