tansi,
Too often we see Indigenous stories reported by non-Indigenous journalists who lack cultural sensitivity or context. Sometimes, this lack of cross-cultural understanding, relationships, or lived experience leads to stories being told in a way that perpetuates harmful stereotypes, misses critical context and misleads readers.
We at IndigiNews care deeply about fair and accurate representation of Indigenous Peoples in the media. That’s why our team is led by
Indigenous women.
I want to take this moment to introduce the people bringing you this work:
Cara McKenna is of Cree-Métis and Irish/settler descent. She is the editor of IndigiNews.
Aaron Hemens is a photographer, journalist and visitor in unceded syilx territory. He is Filipino on his mom’s side, and has both French and British roots on his dad’s. Aaron is a storyteller covering the "Okanagan" region, which is syilx territory.
Amy Romer is an award-winning journalist and photographer living on unceded territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) and xwməθkwəýəm (Musqueam) peoples.
Dionne Phillips is Secwépemc on her father’s side and has Nuxalk and Cree roots on her mother’s side. She is a storyteller covering Secwepemcúl’ecw and writes a monthly newsletter about her work.
Thank you for supporting this team as we continue to report on our communities in a way that makes you feel heard, understood and respected.
If you haven’t filled out our reader survey yet, we would also love to get to know you. It’s three questions long and will take you less than two minutes to complete.
