Parliamentary Conversations in the Commonwealth

Indigenous Peoples and Political Participation

Commonwealth Parliamentary Association

On this episode of Parliamentary Conversations in the Commonwealth, we ask: how can Commonwealth democracies be more representative of indigenous peoples?

To discuss this question we are joined by:

  • Hon. Lenox R Shuman MP,  Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of Guyana and Member of the Arawak Nation;
  • Sheila North, former Grand Chief of Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak and campaigner for indigenous women in Canada;
  • Josiah Tualamali'i, youth indigenous activist in New Zealand and former participant in the Commonwealth Youth Parliament.
