A wonderful conversation last night @mcnallyrobinson.com. Two books, four panelists and a wonderful emcee. Ultimately, the only thing that really matters is love and laughter.

“We need resources ready before emergencies happen,” said Niigaan Sinclair, an Indigenous scholar and commentator. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/19/n...

Some First Nation leaders in Manitoba are calling for a summit on the leadership of their grand chief. Joining host Dennis Ward on the T&P panel are Jennifer Laewetz, CEO of Paskwâw Strategies and Niigaan Sinclair, columnist with the Winnipeg Free Press.

This article by Niigaan Sinclair nails that point right on the head. Do the job the right way. Always. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/colu...

Weekend @winnipegfreepress.com column: Feasibility without Indigenous peoples isn’t feasible www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/colu...

The family of Ashlee Shingoose read their victim impact statements at the Manitoba Court of King's Bench in Winnipeg. It’s rare for statements to be read in court almost a year after a trial, but the judge said the circumstances are "exceptional."

Buy, borrow, loan this book. Seriously. If you want to know why Winnipeg/Canada has such a racism issue towards Indigenous people, you need to read this to understand. I already know why, but this book has been sitting in my to read pile and I am now getting there.

Another clear eyed evaluation of what the Government of Canada reneged on & still owes Indigenous Peoples from @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social. What could have been; long-missed opportunities to build, provide & facilitate fuller lives alongside settlers. www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/2025/0...

First Nations are rightly concerned about C-5 and the potential impacts to our inherent, Aboriginal, treaty and land rights. No government should legislate for itself unfettered power to trump Indigenous rights. @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social @aptnnews.bsky.social youtu.be/ITMXQbbuZ_c

Winnipeg has been a city in Manitoba since the late 19th century but people have lived in this area for thousands of years. I spoke with Niigaan Sinclair about his book Winipek where he describes Winnipeg through the lens of Indigenous history. www.reasonablylate.com/books/wrw5z1...

Niigaan Sinclair is a journalist with the Winnipeg Free Press, an Associate Professor at the U of M and was previously a high school teacher. He is also the son of Justice Murray Sinclair. I have a lot of respect for him and what he has to say. This column nails it.

Winnipeg mayor Scott Gillingham spoke with @wfpdlett.bsky.social and @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social about opening Portage and Main to pedestrians and (possibly) closing Graham Avenue to cars. Listen now: wfp.to/podcast

On the eve of the opening of Winnipeg’s iconic Portage and Main intersection after 46 years I was asked to write a feature for @globeandmail - it’s now live www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

“We must grapple with the fact that Canada’s first prime minister was both an important nation builder as well as a nation destroyer,” University of Manitoba academics Niigaan Sinclair and Sean Carleton wrote in a January opinion piece for The Canadian Encyclopedia

The courts have said that UNDRIP doesn't give them veto power but that's not how it's been treated by international courts. I suspect there will be huge court fights coming if this persists. This column by Niigaan Sinclair in the Winnipeg Free Press a few months ago is excellent.
