a really great and well-researched story from @zoeyunker.bsky.social about the context and implications of the Cowichan decision, including how the namesake of Port Moody, B.C., secretly bought a Cowichan village site that should have been a reserve: thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...

Breaking: the team investigating the Kuper Island Residential School in BC has confirmed 171 children deaths at the institution, 50 more than previously known. As a residential school historian and someone fighting residential school denialism, here's a 🧵 www.timescolonist.com/local-news/a...

A journalist in Northern Ontario posted these FYIs about talking to reporters. And they’re all true of course - but I had a conversation with a Native writer yesterday (before seeing this) - and every point is a rule we talked about breaking in First Nations communities.

"The Sacagawea found in the oral histories of the Hidatsas is both grander and humbler — more like a person, less like a symbol — than the one taught in schools." — @cwhe.bsky.social for The New York Times Magazine

I've got an article out on the Narwhal today... talking about the First Nations Leaders Summit from the inside. One thing I talk about in this piece that I haven't elsewhere was how weird it was to see the disrespect from Cabinet Ministers to Musqueam MP, Wade Grant.

Todd Labrador is a traditional Mi’kmaw birchbark canoe maker in southwestern Nova Scotia. But the birch trees he relies on are dying and the bark is no longer usable. Labrador has just enough bark left from last year to build one final Mi’kmaw birchbark canoe.

Guesting on The Current all week - always happy to keep Matt’s chair warm but extra shot of java required this AM!

This is probably one of the most important documentaries of the last decade for NDN Country and the US in general because tribal disenrollment has led to armed conflicts and it is a precursor to the end of US birthright citizenship. youtu.be/DcrtdiDASUg?...

Incredible to hear how much care went into making the Kuper Island podcast. Duncan McCue gives a masterclass in reporting on trauma with respect and sensitivity. Take a listen:

A pleasure to have such an in-depth chat about the Kuper Island pod with true-crime historian Kate Winkler Dawson. Check out the episode - just dropped in the Wicked Words feed podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...

The University of Ottawa has announced a new initiative for Algonquin students from federally recognized First Nations.

A beetle, ash trees and basketmaking. We partnered with @duncanmccue.bsky.social's Reporting in Indigenous Communities class at Carleton University for a story about one Mohawk community’s fight to protect black ash trees and a long tradition of basketmaking from the invasive emerald ash borer.

What a treat to work with students in @duncanmccue.bsky.social's reporting in Indigenous communities course @carleton.ca on this story out of Akwesasne on the fight to save black ash trees — and the practice of basketweaving along with them.

"Settler colonization... has relied on myths like the Savage Indian to justify the displacement of Indigenous peoples, ease colonial guilt." Jesse Wente, @conniewalker.bsky.social, and @duncanmccue.bsky.social talk to @chrisbeaver.bsky.social about Indigenous narrative sovereignty on NDN POV

This might sound like a hot take but friends: Read books as a hobby this year. It is one of the best things you can do for your brain to grow your thinking and perspectives. If you want to be anti-consumption get a library card. Bonus: in places like UK/AoNZ/CA library copies pay authors

And the highest-rated book on Goodreads I read? Decolonizing Journalism, which I read for a class by the author, @duncanmccue.bsky.social, at Carleton University. There's insight in the book which I have shared this year even with people who aren't journalists!

Journalist and professor Duncan McCue has spent more than 25 years on radio and television. On the season premiere of Face to Face, he says the way Indigenous stories are told and the number of Indigenous people telling those stories has come a long way.

Mandatory listening on the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, and very local to me. Kuper Island follows the story of four students, three who survived, and their attendance of one of the most notorious residential schools. Major TW. From @duncanmccue.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...
