Bye for now, Jamin! You’ve probably read Jamin Mike’s Tyee stories on the Indigenous youth vote, the Jody Wilson-Raybould campaign and the water crisis on reserves, among many others. Jamin was the third Emerging Indigenous Reporter we’ve welcomed as part of a scholarship by Journalists for Human Rights. His first journalism gig: working at his reserve’s radio station. “We entertained our community, and the elders sand the kids loved it,” he said. From there, Jamin studied literature and Indigenous communication arts, and worked for Eagle Feather News, Missinipi Broadcasting Corp. and the University of Regina Press. “Look for the people in the corners because they have valuable stories,” Jamin told us this week before returning home to Saskatchewan. We share with you our interview with Jamin on Indigenous reporting and what Canadians can do to stay informed about Indigenous issues below. |
