Treaty 6 and the double-dipping translator (via Secret Life of Canada)

EpisodeAug 16, 202457m

It’s one of the most thoroughly documented treaties in Canadian history, but the true story of Treaty 6 was deliberately lost in translation. Today, our friends at The Secret Life of Canada tell us a tale of deception, broken promises, and Canada’s largest mass hanging. In this special bonus episode — co-hosted by Falen Johnson and Leah-Simone Bowen, featuring Kyle Muzyka — we learn how the Dominion of Canada took control of a land mass roughly the size of Poland.
