Leighton Grey KC is an Indigenous Constitutional Lawyer. He holds Indian Status under the Indian Act, the 1876 statute he describes as an apartheid law that creates a separate class of human being. His great grandfather was one of the first First Nations people in western Canada to graduate from university, a World War One hero, who later became one of the first Indian agents - putting al four of his own children into residential school, including Leighton’s grandmother. He was involved in the original Indian Residential School class action lawsuit and represented hundreds of people who suffered real harm in this institutions but now his argument is about what happened to the real record (and with policy) afterwards. We talk about the 3200 hundred pages of the real TRC report that no one has clearly read, UNDRIP, DRIPA and the latest conversations around the Indian Act. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
