The Tla'Amin Word of the Day is : Kwakthumb - to tell a story

Discussion today on Storytelling as it relates to Canadian history. First Nations People of Canada were banned by The Indian Act from sharing their stories, speaking their language and passing on their culture. We discuss the impact that has today and how the Point of View of the Storyteller is so important.

Murray Dobbin joins us at 12:30 for #AwdPolitics. He breaks down the break down in democracy in his latest article on The Tyee and Rabble.

The NCRA Equity Comittee has a Reading Group which meets bimonthly onair to discuss member suggested materials.

September was hosted by CJMP 90.1FM in Powell River.

Reading Materials can be found below:

First an interview on NonDefensive Communication in this August episode of WINGS: Sue Supriano, host of Steppin' Out of Babylon interviews Sharon Ellison, communications Counselor - website www.pndc.com 

This link is to a 2 page pdf with great summery info on Non Defensive Communication 

http://www.pndc.com/documents/summary-sheet-english.pdf 

This link takes you to a summary of Glen Singleton's Guide to Courageous Conversations about Race.

http://www.tolerance.org/tdsi/sites/tolerance.org.tdsi/files/assets/general/TDSI_Singleton__Hays.pdf

These 'rules' he suggests are applicable to any kind of challenging conversations not just ones about race. Again it's about communicating with other humans.

Finally a pdf of Ten Principals for approaching social justice issues through the arts. They are from a paper about using arts education to teach social justice issues however I feel the points are useful in many work environments outside of the classroom. Whether we are working on a documentary, a marathon, an episode, or just thinking about our work in the station, these ten points are good reminders of things to keep in mind or ask yourself throughout the work.

When we meet, I thought we might discuss some of our stations policies around communication, discipline, and enforcing rules or running meetings and how some of these communication methods have/could be implemented. CJMP policies can be found on our website.
