Anishinaabe comedian and activist Ryan McMahon takes us t o his hometown of Fort Frances and down its main drag\, which is called Co lonization Road. Similar streets have similar names in towns and cities ac ross the province\, direct reminders of the little-known Colonization Road s Act of 1872 and its severe impact on First Nations\, their treaties and their land in the name of “Canadian settlement.” On his journey through On tario\, McMahon explores the history of these roads\, meets with settlers in solidarity and raises significant questions about “reconciliation” and what it means to “decolonize.”\n\n\n With his brand of hard-hitting comedy\ , Ryan speaks with well respected Indigenous and settler lawyers\, histori ans\, researchers and policy makers who provide history\, context and solu tions for colonization roads and their impact.
