Born again savage | Chief Clarence Louie | TEDxPenticton

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. First Nations peoples are starting to regain their sense of being in some areas of Canada although in some regions they are still barely surviving. Chief Louie has been praised for his accomplishments with the Osoyoos Indian Band but his vision as to what is ahead is compelling. Chief Clarence Louie is a bold new generation of First Nations leader, leading his people to economic independence. His message to government is that of economic development trumps social programs on reserves as it fosters hope of a better future for all. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
