In Episode 49, we talk to native warrior, artist and author Gord Hill, who comes from the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation in BC. He is a well-known grassroots native activist and his artwork and writings have been published in various outlets including Briarpatch, Canadian Dimension magazine and Red Rising magazine. Today he talks to us about the importance of native resistance and solidarity with other social movements to effect real social change.
For those of you who follow my Youtube series called Reconciliation Book Club, you’ll recall that we reviewed on his books: 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance.
