Video Footage from Six Nations

I just came across some great interviews with people from Six Nations. I found Janie Jamison's words particularly kick-ass.

In your article: "A monumental year" for the people of Six Nations, Janie Jamison talks about getting rid of the band council because it really just acts as an arm of the Canadian government.

I am writing a book about participatory democracy. Hopefully, my research will provide readers with a better understanding of how the traditional decision making process of the Iroquois Confederacy works today. If you have any contact information for Janie Jamison, or anyone you think might be willing to talk about their experience with traditional government, I would be very grateful.

Sincerely,

Weblogs

Dominion Weblogs compiles the weblogs of Dominion editors and writers. The topics discussed are wide-ranging, but Canadian Foreign Policy, grassroots politics, and independent media are chief among them.

As an active member of the Atlantic Regional Solidarity Network and the Maritimes-Guatemala Breaking the Silence Network, I find the Dominion invaluable. I find news and analyses that I cannot find elsewhere without spending hours on the Internet. In particular, I pore through every issue to develop a critical understanding of Canadian foreign policy. As well, I find invaluable information regarding the environmental, social, cultural and political implications of resource extraction in Latin America and Canada. I nver come away disappointed.

In my efforts to support independent journalism and keep abreast of progressive perspectives on national and global issues, I also subscribe to This Magazine, Canadian Dimension and the Walrus. More often than not it is the Dominion that offers me the most up-to-date information and the most concise analysis. I urge anyone seeking an alternative and informed voice on critical issues facing us as Canadians and as global citizens to subscribe to the Dominion.
