Nathan Fielder

Nathan Joseph Fielder, comedian, actor, writer, director, producer (born 12 May 1983 in Vancouver, BC). Nathan Fielder is best known for his offbeat, deadpan and awkward comedic style, which he honed on the CBC news parody program This Hour Has 22 Minutes. His regular segment on that series, a consumer report parody called “Nathan On Your Side,” formed the basis of his award-winning Comedy Central series Nathan for You (2013–17). Fielder followed that with the HBO series The Rehearsal (2022) and the Showtime series The Curse (2022–23), both of which experiment with form and push the boundaries of television comedy. Named the Breakout Comedy Star of the Year by Just for Laughs in 2014, Fielder has won a Canadian Comedy Award, a Writers Guild of America Award and a Film Independent Spirit Award.

He was influential in demolishing old buildings and neighbourhoods to create a more modern cityscape. He was also a key figure behind the innovatively designed New City Hall and the large public space in front of it, which was named Nathan Phillips Square in his honour.

National Indigenous Peoples Day

Celebrated in Canada every 21 June, National Indigenous Peoples Day is an official day of celebration to recognize and honour the heritage, cultures and valuable contributions to society by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. National Indigenous Peoples Day is the same day as the summer solstice (the longest day of the year) and was chosen for its important symbolism to many Indigenous peoples (see Religion and Spirituality of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.) This day has been celebrated as a statutory territorial holiday in the Northwest Territories since 2001 and in the Yukon since 2017.

Indigenous Peoples' Medicine in Canada

Since time immemorial Indigenous peoples in Canada have been using plants and other natural materials as medicine. Plant medicines are used more frequently than those derived from animals. In all, Indigenous peoples have identified over 400 different species of plants (as well as lichens, fungi and algae) with medicinal applications. Medicine traditions — the plants used, the ailments treated, protocols for harvesting and application, and modes of preparation — are similar for Indigenous peoples across the country. In many Indigenous communities, there are recognized specialists trained in traditional medicine, and their practice often reflects spiritual aspects of healing as well as physical outcomes. In many cases, the therapeutic properties of Indigenous medicines are attributable to particular compounds and their effects on the body, but in other instances, their application is little understood by western medical practitioners. Within Indigenous communities, specific methods of harvesting and preparation of medicines are considered intellectual property of particular individuals or families.

Native People's Caravan

The Native People’s Caravan was a cross-country mobile protest that took place in 1974. Its main purpose was to raise awareness about the poor living conditions and discrimination experienced by Indigenous peoples in Canada. It travelled from Vancouver to Ottawa, where the subsequent occupation of a vacant warehouse on Victoria Island, near Parliament Hill, extended into 1975. The caravan brought various Indigenous groups together in protest of broken treaties, as well as a lack of government-supported education, housing and health care. As a result, meetings between Cabinet ministers and Indigenous leaders became more frequent. The protest is remembered as an important turning point in Indigenous activism in Canada.
