Ep. 99: A deep dive into the Doctrine of Discovery (and how it’s never gone away)

This week: the ‘Change the Date’ debate. We discuss what seems to have been the most controversial Australia Day yet. Plus, divine intervention? As the Chilean government turns up the heat, why would the Pope push the Mapuche to turn the other cheek? And: bison on the brink? It’s an animal many still revere—now, a scientist raises fresh concerns about its future.

Joining host Rick Harp this week are Kim TallBear, associate professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta, and Candis Callison, Associate Professor at UBC’s Graduate School of Journalism.
