Anishinaabe journalist shares personal essay on national programming

“I was a little shocked, I was a little in awe, I was really surprised with myself that I made it to a national program,” Banning says. “Some of the comments I heard [from people] that I really liked were about the sound, how radio just sort of brought this to life and they felt they were in the sugar bush with me.”

Banning encourages people to apply to the Emerging Indigenous Doc Maker Program. Although this fall’s deadline is Oct. 16, CBC also offers an opportunity to submit an idea to the program at two other times during the year.

“I would say that everyone has a story to tell and to give it a shot,” Banning says.

Community-driven program offers crisis line, counselling

Funded by the Indigenous Services Canada, NAN Hope is in partnership with KO eHealth Telemedicine, Dalton Associates and Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority.

It is a community-driven program aimed at providing a confidential 24/7 crisis line, rapid access to clinical and mental health counselling, and connection to existing mental health and addiction support services.

Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq chief casts doubt on Ottawa’s bid to quell violence over lobster

The federal government issued a statement Friday saying Surette is “deeply aware of the historical and current nature of the relationships among the residents of Nova Scotia, including First Nations and commercial fish harvesters.”

Still, Sack said he doesn’t consider Surette’s new role important to what his First Nation is trying to accomplish through ongoing nation-to-nation talks with the federal government.

“In our priority list, it’s not near the top at all,” he said. “Our main priority is our management plan and getting that upheld by the government. That is where our focus is at.”

Yukon letter on One Health published by Science includes Indigenous principles

“The land, health, animal health and human health have to be treated as one, which basically follows the same principle of First Nations laws of interconnectedness,” Jack said.

One Health proponents like Jack say collaboration involving multiple sectors is key to solving health and environmental issues, and organizations are starting to take note.

Indigenous artists shift online to survive COVID-19, but are hampered by digital divide

COVID-19 cut off Injalak’s 150 painters, screen printers, basket weavers and sculptors from selling to tourists in the Western Arnhem Land community, their Darwin shop, and at national and international art fairs and shows.

So they’ve beefed up their presence on social media by broadcasting live concerts from the community on Facebook to help promote their culture and products.
