Ahkameyimok Podcast with Perry Bellegarde
Episode 41: Jagmeet Singh - Federal NDP Leader
Jagmeet Singh, leader of the federal New Democratic Party, joins us on this episode of the Ahkameyimok Podcast. Singh and National Chief Bellegarde discuss the pandemic, what drew him into politics, overcoming systemic racism, the upcoming election, the importance of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and why the related Bill, C-15, needs to get passed by Parliament, the environment, and also how the concept of Chardi Kala shares much in common with the perseverance message of Ahkameyimok.
A big thanks goes out to the Red Dog Singers of Treaty 4 Territory in Saskatchewan for our theme song, Intertribal.
