Welcome to the Big Thinking Podcast, where we talk to leading researchers about their work on some of the most important and interesting questions of our time.

Gabriel Miller, President and CEO of the Federation, is our host.

Sports aren’t just fun and games, they’re a deeper part of who we are and where we come from. Today’s conversation is about Indigenous sport and its connection to self-determination and cultural regeneration.

Miller is joined by Allan Downey, Associate Professor in the Department of History and Indigenous Studies at McMaster University and Janice Forsyth, Professor in Indigenous Land-Based Physical Culture and Wellness at the  University of British Columbia.
