Justin Trudeau's Symbolic Politics Long on Gesture, Short on Goods / MI 83

On this week's Indigenous roundtable…

Unfair Share: A group of First Nations take Canada and Ontario to court for not honouring a 167-year-old promise to top up treaty payments as resource revenues rise.

CAP Kerfuffle: Is the leader of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples even Aboriginal? Why that may be only the beginning of CAP's latest problems.

Shameful or Shameless? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the United Nations  that the "failure of successive Canadian governments to respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples… is our great shame." But do his deeds even remotely match his words?

Returning to the roundtable are Brock Pitawanakwat, an assistant professor of Indigenous studies at the University of Sudbury, and Ken Williams, an assistant professor with the University of Alberta’s department of drama.
