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 that focuses on sexual violence against indigenous women in Canada – who is enacting it and how indigenous women and their communities are responding. 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. The show also includes an interview with 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. Original air-date: 2-01-11.
