I had the honor of interviewing Chief Phil Fontaine, an Indigenous Canadian leader, and former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. He is best known for playing a central role in raising awareness about residential schools in Canada and pushing for a Federal and Papal apology in 2008 and 2022. Additionally, he helped to get a repudiation of the Discovery Doctrine from Pope Francis about a month ago on March 30th, 2023. The Manitoba area is where hundreds of Icelanders immigrated to in the 1800s. During the interview, we talked about his historical work and “West Icelanders” (what Icelanders are called who immigrated to the West) who settled in Gimli, and surrounding areas. He shared some fascinating insight about the community and their interactions with the indigenous community, who have been living all over Canada before any Europeans immigrated there.

Thank You to the National Research Council of Canada This episode was sponsored using funds from the Social Sciences &amp; Humanities Research Council of Canada. A special thank you to L.K. Bertram for connecting me with Chief Phil for this dynamic, educational, and insightful conversation.

Chief Phil Fontaine on West Icelanders & His History-Making Activism for Indigenous People

Phil is an advocate for human rights and a survivor of residential school abuse. He shares his experiences there and how he turned his anger into positive change. Phil served three terms as the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, the first being when he was only 28. He was also among the first to openly talk about the abuses in residential schools and twice visited the Vatican seeking an apology. Phil Fontaine’s contribution to our country deserves to be honoured, as are his beliefs that the First Nations communities continue to be an integral part of the fabric of this land. Phil also views self-determination as key, leading to a First Nation Economy where the best education is pursued, culture preserved, and wealth created.

Phil Fontaine - Reconciling the truth

Phil Fontaine joins the podcast for a raw discussion about the sadness, anger, and hope felt by Indigenous and First Nations peoples in this country. Phil is a former 3-term National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. Besides being a leading voice for human rights, and a survivor of residential school abuse himself, he negotiated the Residential School Settlement Agreement – $5.6 billion in individual compensation – the largest settlement in Canadian history, for the largest human rights violation in Canadian history. We’re going to talk about systemic racism in this country, and how we work to change that.On Part 2 ... it’s our #PoliticalPanel with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid. Scott will join us in progress, while Jenni and I kick off the discussion with WE and the surprising fundraising haul by Leslyn Lewis in the Conservative Party leadership. Then Scott pops in to continue the conversation on the Economic Snapshot coming down from Mount Morneau about 24 hours after we record this. Is an economic snapshot really just a fiscal update in Polaroid form? And how bad is our economy really going to be, 6 months from now?Watch conversations from The Herle Burly on YouTube.The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as Queen's Park Today.Thank you for joining us on The Herle Burly podcast.
