Russel Diabo, citizen of the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawake, and the Publisher and Editor of First Nations Strategic Bulletin, joins us for our first featured segment on the Canadian government's Termination Plan for Indigenous First Nations. Russel Diabo discusses in-depth the systematic colonial layers imposed upon First Nations peoples since 1969 and how implementation of the Canadian legislation C-45 will forever and unjustly and unilaterally abrogate treaties, terminate Indigenous Nations, and eradicate cultures. Additional dialogue includes the "Idle (K)no(w) Movement," how longtime, grassroots activist have not been "idle' but actively engaged and the current, and how the younger Indigenous movements have vast potential.
