About this episode
Newly declassified documents reveal the extraordinary depth and reach the Canadian government took to spy on Indigenous leaders in the ‘60s and ‘70s.
This new reporting is the result of a years-long effort by CBC Indigenous and CBC Investigates.
Today we hear how the RCMP infiltrated and sought to disrupt legitimate political Indigenous organizations, in an extensive program of covert surveillance, informants and countersubversion.
Brett Forester with CBC Indigenous is our guest.
