EP#11 AFN National Chief Shawn Atleo & Musical Guest – Silver Jackson
In this episode I’m honoured to have the chance to have a sit down, featured chat with the Assembly of First Nations National Chief – Shawn Atleo. I wanted to talk with the National Chief to get a chance to get a sense of who he is and what it is that shapes his policy and vision for moving forward as Indigenous Peoples living in Canada.
