Words like Canada, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Trickster. On Revision Quest, host Darrell Dennis talks with language experts, and Sesame Street’s Grover, and travels through time, to find out if Aboriginal languages have any application in the modern world. Along the way he discovers interesting uses for the languages of First Nations Peoples. And he learns some useful new phrases; like what to say when you run into trouble with the law!

Have they exploited those rights, or have they had to fight to protect them? With the help of a guide (okay, a lawyer), host Darrell Dennis hunts through history and fishes for facts. He revisits a notorious fishing feud and learns Arctic etiquette from an Inuit hunter. The results both surprising and, occasionally, hilarious.

This week on the show: Gambling on gambling. Can legalized gambling pull the Rez out of the cycle of poverty and despair, or will it just replace the old cycle with a new one? As you’ll discover, this isn’t the first time gambling has played an important role in native life, and probably won’t be the last.

Darrell Dennis knows the truth is a little more complicated than that. After all, he grew up on a reserve in B.C. And this week on ReVision Quest, he teams up with a helpful historian and a successful native businessman to get at the real story of reserves in Canada.

And this week, the show takes a kick at one of the biggies: the idea that native Canadians are just transplanted Russians who hiked across the Bering land bridge. Here are a couple of hints on what you’ll find out: natives know how to sail, and it wasn’t aliens or Europeans that invented their navigational instruments. Chariots of the Gods, this isn’t.

From high unemployment to low expectations, he looks at the harsh realities and persistent misconceptions that greet aboriginal people in the workforce. Always on the job, Darrell learns about the pre-contact work ethic and the difficulties facing aboriginal entrepreneurs. He meets a tough-talking Chief with no patience for slackers, and a modern day Rosie the Riveter. And he works up a smile, with a new reality show, a culture-clashing history lesson, and a First Nations take on a Dolly Parton classic.
