I’m excited to learn more about the process of colonization and the roles we all play in it. My time as a journalist has allowed me to explore some of these ideas and connect with some of the people on the front lines of decolonization. But as I’m sure we’re all aware, the Canadian media (myself included) has a long way to go<\/a> to build trust with Indigenous peoples \u2014 illustrated recently by the fact that it was a foreign news outlet that broke the story<\/a> about RCMP being prepared to shoot Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en land defenders. I plan to make the most of this opportunity to grow as a journalist and report on these topics in a more sensitive way.<\/p>\n Works cited:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kay, Barbara. \u201cBarbara Kay: Supplanting Literary Classics with Native Literature Is a Disservice to Students.\u201d\u00a0National Post<\/i>, 5 Nov. 2019, https:\/\/nationalpost.com\/opinion\/barbara-kay-supplanting-literary-classics-with-native-literature-doing-a-disservice-to-students.<\/p>\n Parrish, Will, and Jaskiran Dhillon. \u201cExclusive: Canada Police Prepared to Shoot Indigenous Activists, Documents Show.\u201d The Guardian<\/em>, Guardian News and Media, 20 Dec. 2019, https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2019\/dec\/20\/canada-indigenous-land-defenders-police-documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi there!
