February 18, 2010: The 2010 Vancouver Olympics

This morning on the show we had an interview from Robyn with Wayne Boone, professor of  here at Carleton. They discussed policing dynamics, security measures, and strategic planning involved in the games. He explained how security power benefits from international collaboration, and talked about the key players in law enforcement during the games.

Later, Henry spoke with Professor John Medicine Horse Kelly, co-director of the Centre for Indigenous Research, Culture, Language, and Education (CIRCLE) here at Carleton. Kelly is a member of the West coast Haida community, and he spoke about the aboriginal representation at the games, and how the First Nations of Canada must work with the rest of Canada to build on the momentum of the games to reach full autonomy and equal social status.

With CIRCLE, Kelly is involved with several internet sites designed to educate about aboriginal culture here in Canada: Native Drums/Native Dance, and Path of the Elders.
