So anyone in Canada knows about 8th Fire on CBC, and if you don’t where have you been in the last couple of weeks?
Us Canadians were honored every week for the last 4 weeks to get an in depth look at First Nations in this country..
The last episode was on tonight, and it made me sad that this show and others like it are not on every week..
Dets:
“8TH Fire draws from an Anishinaabe prophecy that declares now is the time for Aboriginal peoples and the settler community to come together and build the ‘8TH Fire’ of justice and harmony.
A 500 year old relationship … coming out of conflict, colonialism and denial.
A team of Aboriginal storytellers from across the country”

The host: Wab Kinew (journalist, host, hip hop artist) did a FANTASTIC job. The right about of brains and humor.

Meet the rich kaleidoscope of Aboriginal people who are fast joining the country’s urban middle class and bringing their culture with them.

Memorable people and stories from across the country illustrate why there’s an economic, demographic and moral imperative to fix Canada’s troubled 500-year relationship with Aboriginals

An evocative look at the role that land plays in the conflicted relationship with Aboriginal peoples and the rest of Canada.

How the Aboriginal community’s feisty and self-confident youth; the “Seventh Generation” who are taking new pride in their heritage and pointing the way forward to a new relationship.
So watch the show. Very very important for every Canadian to do so. Learn, Live, Laugh!
SuperWab!
