CANADALAND

Most Canadians don't hear about the stories Indigenous peoples tell within their communities. Mainstream media only covers the most tragic events affecting Indigenous communities — if it chooses to cover them at all. Now, alternative digital platforms have created an opportunity for these stories to travel outside the communities they are about.

#966 State of Emergency in Pikwakanagan

When an Opioid Crisis hits a First Nation it’s different than in a city. In the city the addicted are mostly strangers.
