The Rocher River Descendants’ Wrongful Amalgamation and Fight for Legal Recognition

appeal.stareindecisis@gmail.com (Appeal Publishing Society) — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 22:52:04 +0000

On this episode, Rosemary is joined by her friend Brad McQueen, who is part of the Tatsanottine Dene (also known as Rocher River descendants) in the Northwest Territories. They discuss how his community, who are Treaty 8 signatories, were wrongfully amalgamated by the federal government in the 1960s. Brad also shares that continuing his grandmother’s fight for their Nation to get re-established and regain rightful legal recognition is a huge reason why he is pursuing law school. In Rosemary and Brad’s chats, a resounding theme shines through: that despite a people’s displacement by the colonial government, the sense of knowing where you are from, deep in your bones, is unshakeable and cannot be taken away.

They also chat about ways of celebrating yourself after you hand in an assignment or exam and associating the celebration with completing a hard thing, rather than to any grade you may receive on it.
