About this event

  • 12 hours

In this first ever Indigenous Peoples, Media & Democracy conference, participants will meet Indigenous content-creators, journalists, publishers & educators and participate in discussions about the impact of media on our lives and on democratic processes in Canada. Participants will learn more about story and content sharing through new media streams, trauma-informed education for storytellers, the case for revitalizing a mainstream media core, and the how this intersects with democracy. Together, we will explore the freedom Indigenous peoples need over the content they share, the platforms on which they share their stories and data, and what this means for our meaningful participation in democracy in Canada.


Registration includes meals and parking.
