The Tyee Aboriginal Affairs.

http://thetyee.ca/Blogs/TheHook/Aboriginal-Affairs/index1.html

The Tyee is an independent online magazine that offers a different commentary that what you will likely find in the mainstream media. http://thetyee.ca/About/Intro/ It is a locally based magazine that believes that many British Columbians “are hungry for news and comment that reflects their actual lives, their own values.”

This is a link to the Aboriginal affairs section of the magazine. It is updated fairly regularly (at least once a week) and offers news stories concerning Aboriginal issues that are often more locally based and from a more independent perspective.

I feel that this is a valuable resource to post because it offers a different, more sensitive portrayal of First Nations concerns that the mainstream media. It is certainly less sensationalist and provides a more accurate description of First Nations cultures and issues.
