Accounting for Colonialism

Students in INCA 391 during the 2023 Fall and Winter Semesters studied the lasting negative impacts of the default prevention and management policy, a federally imposed policy that resulted in First Nations losing control over needed infrastructure dollars. Students explored the data, interviewed affected people, and followed the money. In four radio roundtables, they describe their project, how they did it, what they learned, and how media coverage influences public perceptions about the issue.
