Indigenous News

I’ve busy working on a long news piece about everything happening to Indigenous peoples, instead of Writing an article for each one. This three part series of articles around the many issues that Indigenous peoples are currently fighting against. The reason decided to write three long articles about everything going on was to show that One: We have a lot going on as Indigenous people globally.Two: That Indigenous issues affect everyone and lastly: I’m going to highlight all the positive things happening in our communities.

However when stories like this happen it’s not until days sometimes week later that we find out how our people were affected.

Issues like this that affect Indigenous communities go under reported, by mainstream media. And when it is covered it’s because Indigenous people have work hard to get the coverage or have reported on our issues ourselves.

I will be writing more about the topics that affect Indigenous peoples, from settler colonial violence to representation in the media.I will be taking the time to write about what’s important to my community.
