Keynote Speaker:
Ian Campeau (aka DJ NDN) Founding Member of A Tribe Called Red, DJ & Indigenous Advocate.

Ian Campeau, also known as DJ NDN, is a founding member of the music group A Tribe Called Red (ATCR). Through a powerful combination of art and activism, Ian and ATCR use their notoriety to draw attention to issues of racism, gender based violence, stigmas of mental health, and other forms of oppression. Ian is Ojibwe, Anishinaabe from the Nipissing First Nation.

Ian and ATCR are one of a group of emerging aboriginal thought leaders who are building what Campeau calls a “civil rights movement” for their minority community. He promotes inclusivity, empathy and acceptance amongst all races and genders in the name of social justice. Ian believes that indigenous people need to define their identity on their own terms.

In 2013, Ian successfully filed a human rights complaint against an amateur football club in Ottawa that had been using “Redskins” as its club name. The team is now called the Nepean Eagles. He advocates for the need to have a policy drafted on the use of indigenous identities and imagery in sports.
