The popular duo from the CKTB 610 AM radio show One Dish, One Mic — Karl Dockstader and Sean Vanderklis — will be serving as hosts and moderators during two program blocks at this year’s Celebration of Nations. Karl and Sean, whose podcast became a broadcast, have been active as conveners of an open platform for public education and discourse about the Indigenous experience.

 

Every week One Dish, One Mic reveals Indigenous histories that have been largely hidden from public view and, therefore, rarely incorporated into civic understanding of contemporary issues. In so doing they’ve opened a window into a bright, active, diverse, and dynamic Indigenous world that often exists on the fringe, as an invisible dimension unperceived by the majority in society. Their earnest and entertaining work, advancing dialogue while challenging established viewpoints, has been recognized and honored by the Canadian Journalism Foundation, which awarded them a CJF-CBC Indigenous Journalism Fellowship. The work that they are doing supports reconciliation by reaffirming and polishing the Covenant Chain between all peoples who contributed to the defense and founding of our shared reality, part of which includes a country called Canada.

Hosting:

Program Block 1 on Saturday 12 Sept 2-6pm
Program Block 2 on Sunday 13 Sept 10am-12nn
