In this rebroadcast of episode #304 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews Cindy Blackstock -- a member of the Gitksan First Nation, a social worker, a professor at McGill University in Montreal, and the executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada. She is also the most visible face of the long-term effort to get the Canadian government to end the ongoing injustice in its treatment of First Nations children. They talk about the pervasive underfunding of public services on reserves today, its connection to the legacy of residential schools, and the many years of work by the Caring Society for the rights of First Nations children.
