Still on the hunt for some aboriginal blogs I came across RedWAY BC News E-zine; a free on-line electronic magazine connecting 8,400+ international subscribers
The biline reads: “Harnessing Technology to Honour, Inform and Connect Urban Aboriginal Youth to Services, Opportunities, the Community and Each Other.”
This online publication seems like a well put together site with up-to-date information. Some of its contents include:
- Smoke Signals
- RedWAY BC News Team
- Events Calendar
- JPEN – Job Postings
- From the Street – Youth Voices
- Business, Entrepreneurship & Ec. Dev.
It looks like a fairly good source as long as those who are the intended audience(aboriginal youth), have the access to the material.
The links to up-to-date topical news items to be of most value as a means to inform a generation of the issues that should be of great importance to them. The site is built and maintained by aboriginal youth in a group called the AYM Team. You can see a video on the groups at: www.youtube.com/redway99
As of June ’09, they have published +80 issues of RedWAY BC News. Over 70 Aboriginal Youth contribute to RedWAY stories highlighting thousands of initiatives, programs, job postings and events.
