HERE'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IS A WEEK AWAY HOW DEMOCRATS ARE PREPARING.

THAT WILL BE THE CITY'S 27 TIME HOSTING A NATIONAL POLITICAL CONVENTION.

IT'S TOUGH TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE EVENT.

PLUS, A LOOK BACK AT CHICAGO'S HISTORY OF HOSTING POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.

AND LOCAL INDIGENOUS LEADERS REACT TO A REPORT DETAILING TRAGEDIES AT FEDERAL BOARDING SCHOOLS.

AND NOW TO SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

CHICAGO'S TOP COP SAYS HIS DEPARTMENT IS READY FOR NEXT WEEK'S DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION AT AN APPEARANCE AT THE CITY CLUB.

POLICE SUPERINTENDENT LARRY SNELLING SAYS HE DIDN'T WANT TO SPECULATE ON HOW MANY PROTESTERS THE CITY WILL BUT SAYS HIS TEAM IS PREPARED.

WHEN PEOPLE HERE PROTESTING IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT ENGAGING IN ACTS OF VIOLENCE, THEY CAN HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD.

WE'RE GOING TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHTS TO DO THAT.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING SPECIFICALLY FOR A VIOLENT ACTORS.

WHO ARE COMMITTING ACTS OF VANDALISM.

A VIOLENT ATTACKS.

AGAINST THE POLICE AGAINST EACH OTHER AGAINST OUR CITIZENS, THAT THAT'S THE TYPE OF THING THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE.

THE MINUTE THAT STARTS, WE HAVE TO PUT AN END TO IT.

MEANWHILE, PARKING RESTRICTIONS ARE BEGINNING TODAY AROUND THE UNITED CENTER AND MCCORMICK PLACE FOR THE DNC.

CREWS BEGAN STAGING FENCING FOR THE EVENT AROUND BOTH CONVENTIONS RIGHTS TODAY.

OFFICIALS SAY RESIDENTS CAN EXPECT INTERMITTENT TRAFFIC IMPACTS IN THE AREAS.

FULL STREET CLOSURES WILL TAKE PLACE WHEN THE RESTRICTED SECURITY PERIMETER IS COMPLETE MCCORMICK PLACE ON FRIDAY AND AT THE UNITED CENTER ON SATURDAY FOR THE LATEST ON TRAFFIC REROUTE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE CITY'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS APP.

A FEDERAL COURT COURT JUDGE RULES THAT ILLINOIS PRISON OFFICIALS HAVE UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER TO TRANSFER MOST OF THE PEOPLE INCARCERATED STABLE CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEAR JOLIET IN THE PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION FILED LATE FRIDAY JUDGE ANDREA WOOD FOUND DETERIORATING MASONRY WALLS, CEILINGS AND STEEL BEAMS OUT OF THE PRISON.

IN A STATEMENT, THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS SAYS THE AGENCY DIDN'T OPPOSE THE INJUNCTION IN THE TIMELINE ORDERED BY THE COURT IS IN LINE WITH THE SEES EXISTING TIMELINE AS PART OF A PLANNED CLOSURE AND REBUILD OF THE PRISON.

UP NEXT, LOCAL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ON WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN NEXT WEEK'S DNC RIGHT AFTER THIS.

CHICAGO TONIGHT IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART WHY THE ALEXANDRA AND JOHN NICHOLS FAMILY.

THE GYM AND K MAYBE FAMILY.

THE POPE BROTHERS FOUNDATION.

AND THE SUPPORT OF THESE DO THIS.

REDDICK NATIONAL CONVENTION IS OFFICIALLY ONE WEEK AWAY.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE KAMALA HARRIS HAD A WHIRLWIND OF A WEEK LAST WEEK WHEN SHE FORMALLY SECURED THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION AND ANNOUNCED MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ AS HER RUNNING MATE AS ANTICIPATION BUILDS CHICAGOANS.

WAIT TO SEE WHAT PLANS DEMOCRATS HAVE FOR THE EVENT.

HERE TO TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT.

OUR CONGRESSWOMAN JAN SCHAKOWSKY, A DEMOCRAT WHOSE DISTRICT INCLUDES SOME OF THE NORTH SIDE OF CHICAGO, ALONG WITH THE LAKE AND EVANSTON AND MS.

CONGRESSMAN MIKE QUIGLEY, A DEMOCRAT WHOSE DISTRICT INCLUDES CHICAGO'S NORTH SIDE AND SOME WESTERN SUBURBS.

THANKS TO THE BOTH OF YOU FOR JOINING US.

SO FIRST, I WANT TO ASK YOU HOW YOU'RE FEELING ABOUT THE DNC AND AND IF YOU THINK OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS IN A GOOD PLACE RIGHT NOW, GOING INTO IT, A PERSON COSTCO.

START WITH YOU.

HAS BEEN A BURST OF ENERGY.

ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE VOLUNTEERING TO WORK TO GO TO WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN AND KNOCK ON DOORS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET OUT THE VOTE.

PEOPLE ARE READY TO FIGHT AND TO WORK AND TO WIN.

SO IS IT'S JUST BEEN AMAZING.

KAMALA HARRIS HAS BEEN FLAWLESS.

SHE IS JUST BEEN PERFECT FROM DAY ONE AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

SO I'M VERY OPTIMISTIC AND I LOVE TIM WALZ.

I SERVED WITH HIM IN THE HOUSE AND BEEN IN POLITICS FOR A WHILE.

CONVENTION WOULD YOU SAY THIS IS FOR YOU?

HOW MANY HAVE YOU BEEN TO?

OH, I DON'T 30, LOT CONVENTIONS.

OUT WILL.

THIS WILL BE HOW DIFFERENT LIKE THIS WOULD BE FOR YOU.

WELL, I THINK THAT STAKES ARE SO HIGH RIGHT NOW.

PERHAPS HIGHER THAN I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE.

THE IDEA DONALD TRUMP FOR SAYS KAMALA HARRIS IS FASCISM VERSUS FREEDOM.

AND IT'S JUST THAT STRONG.

AND SO I I THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS RACE, BUT ALSO THE JOY THAT FINALLY PEOPLE ARE, YOU KNOW, SMILING AND FEELING HAPPY.

CONGRESSMAN, QUICKLY, SAME QUESTION TO YOU.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THE DNC IN AND DO YOU THINK THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS IN A GOOD PLACE RIGHT NOW HEADING INTO THAT WEEK?

SURE.

LET I'M EXCITED ABOUT SHOWCASING OUR CITY.

MOST EXCITING, BEAUTIFUL CITY IN THE WORLD SHOWCASING OUR DEMOCRACY.

AND AS JOHN ALLUDED TO, WRITE A UNIFIED FIRED-UP DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

SO, YEAH, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

IT'S IT'S GOING TO SOME HEADACHES FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS AND UNDERSTANDABLY IT'S 50,000 PEOPLE COMING TO A CITY.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING ARE GOING TO BE IN MOTORCADES.

SO I THINK WE BRACE FOR THAT.

BUT I'M VERY EXCITED ALL SAY THE VICE PRESIDENT HAD 3 TASK WHEN SHE TOOK OVER UNITE THE PARTY, FIRE UP THE BASE AND REVERSE THE POLLS.

SHE IS 3 FOR 3.

HAVE YOU.

YOU RAISE 200 MILLION DOLLARS IN THE FIRST WEEK.

AND YET 58,000 NEW VOLUNTEERS AND THE FIRST DAY.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A ROLE.

AND CONGRESSMAN QUIGLEY, OF COURSE, YOU ARE ONE OF THE WERE AMONG THE FIRST DEMOCRATS IN ILLINOIS TO CALL FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN TO STEP BACK AS AS A POTENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU BELIEVE THAT OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS THE RIGHT CALL TO MAKE EARLY ON WHEN FEW WERE DOING IT.

UNLIKE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS HAS YOUR FAITH.

A LOOK AT IT.

WHAT HAPPENED THERE WAS PRESIDENT UNITED STATES PUT THE COUNTRY FIRST HE AS HE ALWAYS HAS.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION AND AS HARD AS THE PRESIDENT WAS TRYING THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO FOCUS WHAT HE WAS ACTUALLY DOING OR FRANKLY, WHAT WHAT TRUMP WAS DOING.

SO WHAT THE NEW NOMINEE BRINGS AND DECIDES ADDITIONAL EXTRAORDINARY ENERGY IS, YOU KNOW, WE PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW OR GET TO KNOW ARE A HECK OF A LOT BETTER.

AND THAT'S TURNING OUT TO BE GOOD.

A LOT MORE FOCUS ON.

A CANDIDATE TRUMP AND HIS DARKER SIZE AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.

REPRESENTATIVE SHOKALSKIY, YOU WERE INITIALLY IN FAVOR OF PRESIDENT BIDEN STAYING IN THE AND BELIEVE THAT IF HE WERE TO BOW OUT, QUOTE, THERE WILL CLEARLY BE A DISTRACTION FROM THE AGENDA THAT WE HAVE, WHICH IS HOW DANGEROUS ELECTING TRUMP WOULD BE.

AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE CARE ABOUT.

AND THAT ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM US.

HOW'S YOUR THINKING SINCE THAT DAY?

WILL JOE BIDEN HIMSELF MADE A DECISION?

AND IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION THAT HE MADE ON HIS OWN.

AND I I'M REALLY SAY THAT HE IS GOING TO GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS PERHAPS THE BEST PRESIDENT THAT WE'VE EVER HAD.

CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST.

AND I'M SO PROUD OF JOE BIDEN AND MAYBE THE HARDEST DECISION HE MADE WAS TO SAY I'M NOT GOING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.

IT'S TIME FOR FOR A CHANGE.

BUT I WANT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR HAVING TIME THAT THAT REALLY INCREDIBLE ACT OF PATRIOTISM FOR HIM TO DO THAT.

SO WHAT WE SO FAR, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE CONVENTIONS NEXT WEEK HAVEN'T SEEN A WHOLE LOT OF POLICY OUT OF THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN YET.

AND WHAT HER PLATFORM LOOKS LIKE.

INSTEAD, THEY'RE DEFINITELY BEATING TO APPEALING TO THE EXCITEMENT AND THE THAT THEY'RE GETTING FROM VOTERS.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD STRATEGY?

WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR FROM HER?

I THINK SHE'S BEGINNING TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU WILL REALLY DO AND HER HISTORY.

I MEAN, SHE HAS A LONG HISTORY NOT ONLY THE HURT HER WORK THE LAWN.

SHE SAYS SHE KNOWS SKIES LIKE TO MIKE DONALD TRUMP.

SHE HAS SAID SHE KNOWS HIS TYPE.

SHE KNOWS IS TIGHT.

BUT YOU KNOW, SHE'S ALSO LAYING OUT AN AGENDA THAT'S GOING TO WORK FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE TO CREATE THE JOBS, TO WORK FOR UNIONS TO MAKE SURE WE ALL HAVE OUR RICE.

WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE, ESPECIALLY IF WE GET THE TRIFECTA, RIGHT?

THE HOUSE, THE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU'LL REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE ARE BACK, WILL BE ABLE TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE ENVIRONMENT.

ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE THINGS THAT SHE HAS EXPERIENCE WITH.

AND I THINK SHE IS.

I'M GOING TO TALK PLENTY ABOUT THE KIND OF AGENDA AND HE'S BEEN DOING IT AND ENORMOUSLY HUGE HEARING AT THE RALLIES AND 1000 AND SHE HAS TOLD REPORTERS THAT WE CAN EXPECT ECONOMIC POLICY FROM THIS WEEK.

CONGRESSMAN, QUICKLY, HOW DO YOU THINK SHE SHOULD DISTINGUISH HERSELF FROM PRESIDENT AS SHE BUILT HER OWN PLATFORM?

FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THEY'RE THE MAIN TEST YOU'RE SEEING NOW YOU'LL SEE AT THE CONVENTION IS A CONTRAST.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ALONE.

YOU KNOW, I I THINK WITH NANCY C EXTREMIST POLICIES IN A PROJECT 2025 WHICH AGREED HE SAID HE WOULD CERTIFY THE LAST ELECTION.

YOU KNOW, IN HERE HAVE WALLS WHO'S CALLED THE AGREEABLE FRIENDLY GUY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, HE ALSO WAS THE FIRST GOVERNOR TO SIGN PROTECTIONS OF CHOICE IN MINNESOTA.

YOU KNOW, SCRIPTURE COSTS DOWN THE $35.

IMPORTANT MEDICINE THERE.

SO I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A CONTRAST IN THE SPIRIT IN THE MENTALITY OF THIS.

YOU KNOW, I THINK EVERYBODY'S PRESIDENT WHO RUNS FOR PRESIDENT, BUT SEEING HAS THE ABILITY TO BUILD ON THE AGENDA.

IN THIS CASE, A VERY SUCCESSFUL ONE OF PRESIDENT BIDEN TO BROADER SET OF JANUARY 6 WHO BROUGHT US OUT OF COVID.

IT HAD AN EXTRAORDINARY FOR A TERM OF OFFICE.

I THINK SHE CAN BUILD UPON THAT AND DISTINGUISH YOURSELF WHERE SHE SEES FIT.

WE'RE JUST ABOUT OUT OF REPRESENTATIVE SHOKALSKIY, SOME AS WELL AS JAMES WILL BRING THE FATHER OF SONYA MASSEY HAVE CALLED FOR CONGRESS TO PASS THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT IN THE WAKE OF MASS KILLING BY WHITE POLICE OFFICER IN SPRINGFIELD.

THE CHANCES THAT CONGRESS WILL TAKE THIS UP AFTER THE RECESS.

I AM HOPING IT IS SO SHOCKING HAPPENING IN OUR OWN STATE WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION, OK?

WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.

OBVIOUSLY.

HOPE TO HEAR FROM BOTH OF YOU AS THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

GO REPRESENTATIVE REPRESENTATIVE MIKE QUIGLEY JANIKOWSKI, THANKS TO BOTH FOR JOINING US.

THANK YOU.

AND OF COURSE, MAKE CHICAGO TONIGHT YOUR HOME FOR THE DNC NEXT WEEK.

JOIN US LIVE AT 5, 30 10 EACH CONVENTION NIGHT.

WE'LL HAVE LIVE COVERAGE AND ANALYSIS BEFORE AND AFTER PBS NEWS HOUR.

AND WE'RE BACK WITH MORE RIGHT AFTER THIS.

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN CHICAGO IS, AS WE'VE SAID, OFFICIALLY A WEEK AWAY AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO VISIT CITY.

BUT THIS, OF COURSE, ISN'T THE FIRST TIME CHICAGO HAS BEEN HOST TO A NATIONAL POLITICAL CONVENTION.

AMANDA VICKI HAS THE SCOOP ON THE CITY'S LONG HISTORY WITH CONVENTIONS IN TONIGHT'S EDITION OF WT TW NEWS EXPLAINS.

CHICAGO IS SET TO HOST THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION THIS SUMMER.

AND THAT WILL BE THE CITY'S 27 TIME HOSTING A NATIONAL POLITICAL CONVENTION.

IT'S TOUGH TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE EVENT, PERHAPS BECAUSE CHICAGO CONVENTIONS HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE MOST MEMORABLE ROCKETS AND CONSEQUENTIAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

TAKE THE FOR CHICAGO CONVENTION IN 18, 60 REPUBLICANS CHOSE A YOUNG ILLINOIS LAWYER NAMED ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO BE THEIR STANDARD BEARER.

EVEN THOUGH LINCOLN DIDN'T EVEN ATTEND CONVENTION ITSELF.

WAS 1912, WHERE THE SCENE AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION WAS SO TENSE OUR PLAYERS AROUND THE EVENT IT WAS PRESIDENT TEDDY ROOSEVELT VERSUS A SUCCESSOR INCUMBENT WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

AND WHILE ROOSEVELT WON MOST OF THE PRIMARIES, PARTY LEADERS PICKED TAFT ANYWAY.

THE NEXT STATE ROOSEVELT SUPPORTERS FORM A NEW PROGRESSIVE PARTY.

AND 6 WEEKS LATER POSTED THEIR OWN CONVENTION IN THE SAME BUILDING, MEANING TEDDY, THEIR NOMINEE.

IN 1932.

DURING THE DEPTHS OF THE DEPRESSION, CHICAGO HOSTED BOTH THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS.

REPUBLICANS NOMINATED HERBERT HOOVER FOR REELECTION.

WHILE THE DEMOCRATS CHOSE FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT WHO INTRODUCED A LANDMARK PROPOSAL FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

LOVE THE AMERICAN FATE.

THE 1952 CONVENTIONS WERE THE FIRST TO BE TELEVISED LIVE COAST TO COAST HELD CHICAGO AGAIN WITH DEMOCRATS NOMINATING ILLINOIS GOVERNOR AT THE STEPHENSON, EVEN THOUGH HE EXPLICITLY SAID HE DID NOT WANT THE JOB, HE WENT ON TO LOSE IN A LANDSLIDE.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, DWIGHT EISENHOWER, LIKE FAST FORWARD TO THE INFAMOUS 1968 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION WHICH DESCENDED INTO VIOLENCE CHICAGO.

POLICE NATIONAL GUARDSMEN LAST THOUSANDS PROTESTERS GRANT PARK WITH MAYOR DALEY DEFENDING LAW ENFORCEMENT.

OTHER THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WALKED AWAY HAVING NOMINATED HUBERT HUMPHREY AND THE PARTY DIVISIONS HIGHLIGHTED CHICAGO HELPED RICHARD NIXON BEAT HUMPHREY THAT PAUL.

IT WAS 28 YEARS BEFORE CHICAGO GOT A RETURN ENGAGEMENT AND PERHAPS THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS THING THAT HAPPENED IN 1996, WAS DELEGATES DANCING THE MACARENA AHEAD PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON HIS RENOMINATION.

SO WHAT'S IN STORE FOR 2024?

WE'LL SOON FIND OUT.

AND YOU CAN FIND MORE OF OUR EMMY AWARD-WINNING SERIES WBTW NEWS EXPLAINS ON OUR WEBSITE.

WE'RE BACK WITH MORE CHICAGO TONIGHT.

JUST A MOMENT.

BUT FIRST, A LOOK AT THE WEATHER.

A NEW REPORT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR CONCLUDED ITS THREE-YEAR INVESTIGATION INTO THE LEGACIES OF FEDERAL INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOLS.

THE SCHOOLS WERE CREATED TO ASSIMILATE NATIVE AMERICANS BY REMOVING CHILDREN FROM THEIR HOMES AND FAMILIES AND STRIPPING THEM OF THEIR CULTURES AND LANGUAGES.

ONE OF THE MOST UPSETTING FINDINGS IN THAT REPORT, 973 CHILDREN WERE FOUND TO HAVE DIED WHILE IN CUSTODY AT THOSE SCHOOLS.

JOINING US NOW WITH VERY TAKEAWAYS ARE BRADFORD, CASPER, A CITIZEN OF THE MIAMI TRIBE OF OKLAHOMA AND RUNNING PRESTON, A MEMBER OF SAN CARLOS APACHE NATION IN THE PROGRAM.

FACILITATOR AND CULTURAL AMBASSADOR AT THE AMERICAN INDIAN CENTER.

THANKS TO BOTH FOR JOINING US HERE.

THANKS FOR SO WHAT BREATH FOR THAT START WITH YOU, PLEASE.

WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THIS REPORT?

I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THAT REPORT WAS GENERATED ABOUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS NO SECRET IN INDIAN COUNTRY.

I'M IT'S IMPACTED YOU KNOW, VIRTUALLY EVERY EVERY FAMILY, BUT TO BE TO BE I WAS I'M SURPRISED AT THE NUMBER OF CONFIRMED A SCHOOLS.

THAT'S SOMETHING I UNIVERSALLY MY COMMUNITY GIVEN ONLINE.

I'M SURPRISED THE LOW NUMBER.

BUT IF YOU READ THE REPORT, YOU CAN SEE EVEN THEY ADMIT THE SHORTCOMINGS OF THE REPORT SAYING THAT NUMBERS ARE LIKELY THEN IT'S IT'S DIFFICULT TO DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THAT.

A VERY HAPPY THESE CONVERSATIONS HAVE HAVE BEEN HAPPEN, WHICH IS CERTAINLY HEARTBREAKING.

YOU KNOW, NEARLY NEARLY 1000 AND IT MIGHT BE MORE RUNNING PRESTON, WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THIS SAME THING.

THE SAME YOU KNOW, I'M HAPPY THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE SNOW FOR MOST OF THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE DOWN HERE.

KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN CANADA.

FIND ITS WAY BEYOND HERE IN THE U.S. WHERE SO MANY THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO THE CHILDREN UP AT THESE BOARDING SCHOOLS AND NOW WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY PLACE HERE IN UNITED STATES AS WELL.

AND THE FINDINGS, BURIAL GROUNDS AND I'M GLAD TO SEE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE SNOW.

YEAH, OF COURSE.

WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO IN CANADA'S THE DISCOVERY OF OF SEVERAL MASS GRAVES OF OF NATIVE CHILDREN WHO FOUND BURIED ON THOSE GROUNDS.

YOU KNOW, DESPITE THE MANY ATTEMPTS THAT WE KNOW OF TO TO KILL INDIGENOUS CULTURES, INDIVIDUALS LIKE YOURSELF, HE PERSEVERED.

YOU CONTINUE TO EXERCISE YOUR CULTURAL PRACTICES.

BRADFORD, HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO PRESERVE THE CULTURE THROUGH YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE?

EVERYDAY LIFE IS CULTURE IS THE BIG THINGS.

AND IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS.

IT'S NOT JUST HOLIDAYS AND AND SEASONS.

IT'S THE WAY YOU CREATE YOUR RELATIVES.

THE IDEA OF WHO AND WHAT YOUR RELATIVES ARE.

THERE'S A LOT OF SMALL WAYS I CAN I CAN DO THAT GOING OUTSIDE AND JUST BEING THANKFUL FOR OUR LAND AND OUR WATERS.

A BIGGER I'VE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS BECAUSE MY COMMUNITY IS PRETTY WIDESPREAD PLAYING DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS AND WITH A A FOCUS ON MIAMI CULTURE AS SORT OF THE BASIS OF IT HAS BEEN GREAT WAY TO JUST SPEND TIME TOGETHER AS PEOPLE AND ACTIVELY.

I'M RENEE, YOU'RE AN INTER-TRIBAL EDUCATORS.

HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH THE YOUTH.

HOW DO YOU TALK ABOUT THE SORT OF TYPICAL HISTORIES WITH YOUNG PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN?

MORE LIST?

IS LIKE THE COOP.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT WE WERE RACE OF PEOPLE TARGETED FOR GENOCIDE.

TOOK HER CHILDREN FROM CUT THEIR HAIR OFF AND, YOU KNOW, ABUSE FOR SPEAKING YOUR LANGUAGE.

AS OUR CULTURE STILL HERE TODAY, YOU SEE THAT THEY DIDN'T SUCCEED AND THE CIRCLES THAT REMINDS US OF THAT.

THERE'S NO BEGINNING AND OUR CULTURE WILL NEVER HAVE AN END AS LONG AS WE ENCOURAGE OUR YOUTH TO SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE, LEARN LEARN THEIR SONGS.

MAKE WITH US.

THEY'RE KEEPING THE SPIRIT ALIVE.

AND FOR THE NEXT 7 GENERATIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE HERE AND A LOT WHAT I DO AT THE SENATE IS A LOT OF INDUCEMENT TO EVERYBODY, NOT JUST NATIVE PEOPLE BUT ALL COMMUNITY TOO LITTLE.

NO STORIES ABOUT OUR CULTURE AND WHO WE ARE.

TELL US ABOUT.

YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT IMPORTANCE OF INDIGENOUS EDUCATION, OF COURSE, PARTICULARLY WITH CHILDREN LEARNING WHERE THEY COME FROM.

BUT CAN ALSO TELL US ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ORAL STORYTELLING.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE FOR ME BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY KIDS JUST YOU YOU COME COMES THE PHONE AND, YOU GO GOOGLE IT AND BUT FOR ME TO SIT WITH YOU AND SHOW YOU AND SPEAK WITH YOU.

THIS ORAL TRADITION IS THE MOST POWERFUL.

AND THAT'S WHAT A LOT WHAT WE DO WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR YOUTH.
