In our fourth episode, Bobby and his guests will be discussing Dr. Peter H. Bryce’s health research with an emphasis on the value of Indigenous children. Dr. Cindy Blackstock is a social worker, author, child right’s advocate, and Professor in the School of Social Work at McGill University. Elder Randy Fred, or Uncle Randy, is from the Tseshaht First Nation, in Port Alberni, British Columbia. After a lifetime of working in multimedia he is now an Elder-in-Residence at Vancouver Island University. This conversation was a powerful testament on how everyone can participate in pushing forward and amplifying the voices of Indigenous children. If two important things stood out, they are 1) we can collectively take action and 2) Indigenous children matter. How will you act now that you know? What injustices are taking place in our backyard? Who’s voice will I silence or amplify? When and where will I share what I know? These are starting point questions that listenners ponder and act on. Furthermore, we will pull forward ideas in Dr. Bryce’s writing by reminding ourselves of important questions asked in a previous episode: how much has changed and how much remains the same?

This special episode of We Need to Talk About Bryce does not follow our usual format of hearing and reacting to excerpts of The Story of a National Crime. Instead, it is a one on one interview between our host, Bobby Henry, and Elder Randy Fred.
In this episode, we are given an amazing opportunity to speak with a changemaker. Elder Randy Fred, or Uncle Randy, hails from the Tseshaht First Nation, in Port Alberni BC. After living in paradise in Barclay Sound he attended the Alberni Indian Residential School for 9 years. He was a plaintiff in the precedent-setting case, Blackwater, where the United Church of Canada and the Government of Canada were sued for sexual abuse. This case led to the Alternative Dispute Resolution and the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. After a lifetime of working in multimedia he is now an Elder-in-Residence at Vancouver Island University.
In this third episode, Bobby and his guests unpack the history of Indigenous education found in Dr. Peter H. Bryce’s research focusing on the health of children in residential schools, and its relevance in contemporary contexts.
