This is a special episode in collaboration with the Indigenous Policy Initiative (IPI) at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

This episode explores the COVID-19 response by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. At the outset of the pandemic, the Assembly formed the COVID-19 Pandemic Response Coordination Team in order to best face the coming pandemic. Their experience over the last year provides important insight and examples for indigenous policy throughout Canada.
