Parliamentary Conversations in the Commonwealth
Parliamentary Conversations in the Commonwealth, a podcast by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), gives a voice to Parliamentarians, civil society experts and activists across the Commonwealth to discuss common democratic challenges and share their ideas on what can be done to solve them. The CPA promotes knowledge of the constitutional, legislative, economic, social and cultural aspects of parliamentary democracy. Our work enables Commonwealth Parliamentarians and officials to uphold and strengthen parliamentary democracy, the rule of law, sustainable development and human rights.
Parliamentary Conversations in the Commonwealth
Indigenous Peoples and Political Participation
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.
