Media Indigena

MediaINDIGENA is a blog written for and by indigenous peoples in Canada. It features a ton of content, on everything from arts and culture to politics and the economy. I stumbled onto the page as a link from another blog I discovered while searching about the controversy surrounding the commodification of the Cowichan sweaters during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. The perspective on the page is a really interesting one to read – the authors/contributors are well versed in the issues facing Canadian indigenous peoples, and approach the issues with a pop-culture lens. The site has lots of interesting and interactive add-ons, including a Facebook page, Twitter feed, and other content-sharing applications such as StumbleUpon, Reddit, and Delicious. In reading through some of the entries, I had the sense of being up-to-the-minute, and it felt very current. For that reason, I wanted to share this site.
