It has taken Lorraine Daniels, a second generation Indigenous Residential School survivor, over 60 years to accept her Ojibway culture. As a student at the Indigenous Residential School, we were taught that God was a punishing God, and she and other children were forever being punished and not loved. She recounts that Indigenous children were not allowed to converse with other family members, such as a brother or sister, or talk during meals and that pulling their hair and getting the strap were normal forms of punishment because the children were considered sinners.

Today Lorraine Daniels is the Executive Director of the National Indigenous Residential School Museum of Canada Inc. The National Indigenous Residential School Museum of Canada Inc. was established in 2018 for the Indigenous Residential School Survivors; to create a memorial for those who went through the experience and honour the survivors, their families and community. It was established as a place to heal, to understand and to move forward. And it was established as one of the 10 Principles of Reconciliation included in the 94 calls to action in the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions final report.

Lorraine Daniels shares that her work at the Museum has given her the opportunity to learn more about her Ojibway culture as it was forbidden in the Residential Schools she attended. She talks about how she was shamed of her culture and stripped of her language but has since learned how to balance her Christian faith and accept her Ojibway culture. “Forgiveness is essential to my healing journey and to be kind to others.”

Simple and to the point. It was the statement put out by the University of Brandon when Brandon School Division trustees heard from a local delegation’s call to remove 2SLGBTQ+ and sexual education resources from the school libraries. Our Humans, on Rights podcast guest, Ellen Bees is a middle school teacher and is a member of People for Public Education who believe that public education should be universally accessible, be publicly funded and free for families, provide equal opportunities for students, engage in public decision making and serve the public interest. Ellen Bees talks about her passion to become a teacher because a teacher had a profound impact on her life as a young student. It was at that moment Ellen realized that teaching and helping others was her professional calling. She created a blog called teacherbees.ca where she reviews books and posts lessons for other educators. So, you can appreciate and understand her deep disappointment when a delegation proposed a ban on certain books form the schools’ libraries. Ellen’s views on this attempt to censor certain books are clear and to the point. But she also wanted to be clear that all the comments in this podcast are her personal views. I think you will agree that Manitoba is very fortunate to have teachers like Ellen Bees.

The Chair of the Peace Alliance Winnipeg, Glenn Michalchuk is convinced that the War in Ukraine could have been averted but was not. In this episode Glenn explains his strong belief that this war in not based on anything of substance but more on political fanaticism. And that Canada has played a roll, wrongly in his view, of advancing that political fanaticism.

Active in the peace and anti-war movement since 1980, Glenn has used his involvement with the union movement as a natural connection to his activity involving social justice. Glenn articulates his disappointment that the mainstream media is more interested in providing sound bites rather than factual, in-depth, research about how the peace process gets derailed in favour of violence and war. Thoughtful, educational and very unconventional, Glenn Michalchuk is worth a listen.

Lifelong learning champion Stacey Bradley was asked to “just come to one meeting”. She did and that is how she became the President of the Manitoba Reading Association. September 8th is International Literacy Day and on this episode, Stacey talks about the incredible appetite young children have when they start to learn to read, but she also talks about the challenges of losing interest in reading as children get older. In her words, sometimes “we start to lose them as they get to middle school”. Social media, puberty, and friendships becoming more important are just some of those reasons why reading starts to take a back seat in the middle school years. Stacey discusses some of the methods teachers are employing teachers to reverse this trend.

The fact that in 2022 not every child can read is heartbreaking. Stacey Bradley shares some of the methods that teachers are engaged in to make sure every child has the right to learn to read.

If I asked you what country comes to mind when you hear the words, Jim Crow. The Ku Klux Klan. Enslaved persons, I bet you a US dollar that you would say ’the United States of America.” While you are not completely wrong, you may be surprised to learn how my guest Laurelle Harris educates the listener on how those terms of racism are also very much a history of the place we call home – Canada. Laurelle shares that one of Canada’s most prestigious universities is named after a well-known man who personally owned enslaved persons and his business interest were intrinsically intertwined with the slave trade. Anyone guess Montreal businessman James McGill?

As she says in this episode “it’s not comfortable for people to remember the uncomfortable parts of their own history, so we simply don’t think about or talk about those things.” On this episode with Laurelle Harris, we definitely talk about those things and more.

Laurelle Harris’s resources on Black History in Canada:

What do Heavy Construction and being a mother have in common? What about stone crushing and breaking a glass ceiling…what do they have in common? To answer those questions and more, I spoke with Nicole Chabot, the Vice President of L. Chabot Enterprises Ltd. In her own words, Nicole said “I am a woman, I have an Indigenous background. I am a wife, and I am a mother. And I am very proud to work in the heavy construction industry.” As the Chair of the Manitoba Heavy Construction Association Board of Directors, Nicole, only the second woman to take on that role, is leading the way to advance diversity and inclusion in the work place.

It has been said that a continued engagement with history is vital because it helps give context for the present. Black History Manitoba (@bhmwinnipeg #BlackHistoryManitoba) and Black History Month (#BlackHistoryMonth) is an opportunity to celebrate Black History going beyond stories of racism and slavery to spotlight Black achievement. On this episode, Ms. Valerie Williams, the Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the Rady Faculty of Health Science talks about what it was like to grow up with a father who changed the history and racial landscape of Canada. Valerie’s father was Lee Williams. Lee Williams, an African-Canadian was a tireless champion of human rights. He was the Founder of the Order of the Sleeping Car Porters, the first Black Railway Union in North America.

Valerie recalls that her father was dead-fast in his belief that all human beings are equal and that the colour of our skin has no bearing on opportunity. With his numerous years experiencing racial and systemic racism Lee Williams knew that it’s not right that humans are treated so poorly.To recognize the incredible human rights work that Lee Williams did, he was featured in the National Film Board documentary, The Road Taken (1996). Lee Williams also received an honourary Doctorate of Laws from York University.Valerie Williams passionately continues the struggle that her father fought for. Valerie is keenly aware that people with privilege today don’t want, or aren’t willing to give up their privilege. She believes that if they give up their privilege, that they are in effect giving something away to someone else. And once they give something away they will question what it is they are left with.

On this episode, listeners will get a sense of Black History and what the future for Black people looks like in our country.

Dr. Maron’s passion is on display as he works with the Jewish Community to answer the question: is this wallet an artifact to display in the CMHR or is it an object that belongs in the Jewish community.

Ayn Wilcox is the Executive Director of Klinic Community Health. In this conversation she connects the dots between her life learning at the Manitoba Agriculture Museum in Austin Manitoba and her current role as Executive Director at Klinic Community Health. Her life journey has been filled with a passion for learning and appreciating the importance of community. When it comes to understanding and de-stigmatizing mental health, Ayn firmly believes we are all in this together. Ayn believes if we don't take into account the basic requirements around civil rights and freedoms, the economic and social factors that include things like poverty and sexual orientation, gender identity, race and ethnicity, including here in Canada the ongoing impacts of colonialism, we're going to need to continue to invest exponentially more resources but we're not going to move the dial understanding the depth of mental health in a significant way.

Is World Peace possible? My guest on this episode thinks so. Dr. Charlotte Enns, the Director of the Arthur V. Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice believes if you can listen to other peoples stories, if you can understand other peoples points of view, that is the pathway to peace, and that is the way we are going to get to world peace even if that is an abstract concept. Dr. Enns explains the need for peace and justice is absolute before fundamental human rights can be achieved. Through our conversation Dr. Enns, who has numerous academic publication and a Ph. D. in Educational Psychology, explains how she was first introduced to the notion of injustice when she volunteered to work with deaf students. Dr. Enns realized that working in the deaf community, members of that community were not viewed as "normal', but in fact she was the one who was not "normal" because she didn't know sign language.
