Maurice Switzer - We are all Treaty People/Polishing the Chain

Gabrielle Pellerin speaks to Maurice Switzer about the history of the Treaty relationship that made possible the peaceful settlement of Canada - from an Anishinaabe perspective.

Maurice Switzer is involved in a number of public education initiatives by including Indigenous perspectives as a commissioner on the Ontario Human Rights Commission, as well as his contributions on education of treaty relationships in Canada and their contemporary implications through the use of wampum belts. By utilizing the wampum belts as an educational tool, decolonized approaches are taken to develop a holistic understanding of the treaties and providing a framework for educators to facilitate treaty education in the classroom.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
