Taking Children, Taking the Land – 10 November 2021 – Audio

Recorded on YouTube on 13 October 2021.  Join Noam Chomsky for a talk, then in conversation with E. Tammy Kim on the brutal realities laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic—and the urgent need for an alternative to capitalism. Nick Estes put recent headlines surrounding the discovery of mass graves of Native children at Canadian residential schools into historical context. The removal of Indigenous children from their communities and families has a long genocidal legacy that persists today, well beyond the boarding school era in Canada and the United States. The attack on Indigenous children is an attack on Indigenous sovereignty and land, and there is an urgency to uphold protections that are under assault by the right-wing, such as the Indian Child Welfare Act. He was joined in conversation with Rebecca Nagle after giving his presentation. This was a Readings and Conversations event. This event was in partnership with  Haymarket Books. https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.lannan.org/podcasts/consequences-of-capitalism-211013.mp3 Duration: 1:33:39 You may learn more about this event on the Lannan website.
