"Oneida of the Thames, ON"
Synopsis:
Follow Comedian Jonny Harris as he ventures down the trail less traveled to seek out humour in the most unexpected of places – small towns on the ropes! After immersing himself in the local history and lives of the townsfolk, Jonny commemorates his visit by delivering a special curated toast – not a roast – performed live in front of the whole community!
Episode Synopsis:
The Haudenosaunee community of Oneida Nation of the Thames is making strides at reclaiming the economic, cultural, and spiritual practices banned by government policies over the past 100 years. Fortunately for the Oneida, the days of hiding your cows from The Indian Agent are gone, and after years spent focussed on just trying to survive the injustices of the past, the Oneida are finally beginning to thrive.
