What it is about

Welcome to Inherent Rights Informed Voices, a podcast brought to you by the Centre for First Nations Governance and the Rebuilding First Nations Governance project. On this journey, our podcast delves into what we’re learning with our partner First Nations about leaving behind the Indian Act to exercise their inherent right to self-government. We have some of Canada's best practitioners and experts in self-government sharing their insights into this important work to take back responsibility for ourselves and our territories.Producer: Emma FazakasExecutive Producers: Catherine MacQuarrie, Mason DucharmeMusic courtesy of:Constitution Song by The Spiritual WarriorsInquisitive Orchestra by Musictown on Pixabay
