When 2 worlds collide, can they coincide? Unreserved this week
The radio show that takes you behind the headlines of indigenous Canada
Earlier this week, CBC released a poll that found people on the Prairies were less tolerant to having a romantic relationship with an Aboriginal person than the rest of Canada. Today on Unreserved, host Rosanna Deerchild takes a closer look at racism and the indigenous community.
Meanwhile, Chris Ross, publisher of RezX Magazine, turns the tables on the CBC poll and substitutes "white" or "Caucasian" in place of "Aboriginal."
Former NHL hockey player Jordin Tootoo recently released his book, All the Way My Life on Ice. The book, co-written by Stephen Brunt, looks at Tootoo's life and career. He shares his experiences with racism and sport on the show Saturday.
CBC Manitoba hosted a Scribble live chat on Indigenous people and racism this week. Kim Wheeler recaps the conversation and reads some of the more provocative CBC_Aboriginal tweets from the conversation.
Plus, CBC Aboriginal's lead reporter Connie Walker updates us on the court case of the 11-year-old girl from the New Credit First Nation in Ontario, whose family decided to take her out of chemo opting for indigenous and alternative treatment.
