Clearing the Plains: Talking with James Daschuk

Today Gord Barnes and Jim Hutchings spoke with award winning author Jim Daschuk about some of the pre-colonial history of the North American Plains First Nations and how the Canadian Government broke its Treaty promises, sometimes mere months after signing the documents through lack of promised rations and medicines, condemning first nations people to death by starvation and illness, part of Sir John A MacDonald's plan to build a railroad and settle the West.
