Talking Radical Radio

In episode #203 of Talking Radical Radio (January 25, 2017), Scott Neigh speaks with Lynn Gehl and Lindsay Lambert. Gehl is an Algonquin woman who holds a PhD in Indigenous Studies, and is a writer and activist. Lindsay Lambert is a white settler man, a historian, and also a writer. Both have been involved in the fight against the ongoing colonial development of the Chaudiere Falls and the three associated islands -- a sacred site to the Algonquin Anishinaabe people that is, in the year of Canada 150, slated to be turned into condominiums. They talk about the significance and sacredness of the site for Indigenous peoples, the history of colonial development there, the recent fight to realize the vision for the site of the late elder William Commanda, and the significance of the ongoing violation of this sacredness in the context of Canada 150.
