  • Summary

  • The Anishinaabe are guided by the Seven Grandfather Teachings—Love, Bravery, Humility, Wisdom, Honesty, Respect, and Truth. In Seven Truths, we explore each teaching through the eyes of Anishinaabe storyteller Tanya Talaga, and through the lives and experiences of people she’s proud to know. These truths, told through contemporary stories, help us find common ground here on Turtle Island, so that we can live together, justly.

    Episode 7: Truth
    Nov 25 2020
    Barbara Kentner’s eventual death after a metal trailer hitch was hurled at her by a passing car reveals deep-seated, racist truths about the city of Thunder Bay, about the country of Canada, and about the dangers of walking down any street as an Indigenous woman or girl. In this, the final teaching, we discover that many still don’t want to face the many truths at the foundation of this tragic story.

    Episode 6: Respect
    Nov 25 2020
    In 1974, Anicinabe Park, in the sleepy town of Kenora, Ontario, was occupied by armed First Nations Peoples from across the continent who refused to leave till their demands were met. At the core of their occupation: a request for recognition and respect. They were tired of ever-present police brutality and their basic human rights being ignored. This is a story you’ve probably never heard of or know much about, but it stands side by side with more famous civil rights movements that happened across Turtle Island throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s.

    Episode 5: Honesty
    Nov 25 2020
    Members of Iskatewizaagegan or Shoal Lake 39 are trying to make an honest city out of Winnipeg. The First Nations community is demanding the city pay up after over 100 years of removing clean drinking water from the lake and shipping it via an aqueduct to the houses, businesses, and buildings in Winnipeg, without any compensation whatsoever. Is it fair to remove water and grow one city at the absolute expense of another community?

Wonderful, enlightening

I almost didn't download this because one person left a 1 star review. I'm thankful i realized that the review was based on a combination of technical incompetence and the reading comprehension of the reviewer. The spiteful review literally had nothing to do with the actual content of Seven Truths, which gives us intriguing insight in to the Anishinaabe. It's thought provoking and inspiring. The stories turn you inside out in the best way.

Genuine, eye opening, heartbreaking.

This was so well done. Beautifully narrated and produced. The content itself is hard to swallow. I am white British (Welsh) and have never experienced racism first hand. Being from the UK, I was unaware of the racism in Canada, least of all in this area. I am now more aware, but helpless. Everyone should listen to this, share this, discuss this... We need to talk about these issues, take action against these issues. We need to breed compassion and love.

A must listen!

I'm from the UK and I'd heard of the terrible schools first nation people were sent to. But I had no idea how much racism exists to this very day in Canada. This podcast was beautifully made, with exceptional research into the different problems faced by native Americans both historically and today. Thank you for educating me on this important subject. I hope people from around the world hear your stories and changes are made to right the wrongs that have been done.
