Indigenous media creators often end up in this trope of educating their audiences. It can be exhausting rehashing intergenerational trauma, reconciliation, and calls to action.
More and more Indigenous creatives are looking for the space to just exist and advocate for joy, and Adeline Bird is one of them. In this episode, she joins Matriarch Movement to discuss the things that are top of mind for storytellers: where is there room for representation in the media landscape, who really “owns” the Indigenous stories, and how will all of this impact the future of Indigeneity in media?
More About Adeline Bird:
Adeline Bird is an Afro-Anishnabe author, filmmaker, and producer. She grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, but is a proud member of Treaty #4 Rolling River First Nations.

September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, as well as Orange Shirt Day, a time to honour the Indigenous children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities.
In recognition of this important day, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau joined host Shayla Oulette Stonechild for a reflective conversation on how healing and empowerment through wellness can support us in navigating the necessary, but often challenging, conversations around reconciliation.
This event brings together the unique perspectives of Shayla, a Red River Métis and Nehiyaw iskwew (Plains Cree woman), founder of the Matriarch Movement and global yoga ambassador for lululemon, and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, an author and passionate mental health advocate committed to supporting reconciliation.
Shayla's lived experience as an Indigenous woman, paired with Sophie’s role as an ally, offers a powerful dialogue on how both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can engage in the reconciliation process. Their collaboration emphasizes the importance of honouring Indigenous voices while encouraging non-Indigenous individuals to actively participate in reconciliation through awareness, healing, wellness, and meaningful action.
The session includes a discussion on the significance of National Truth and Reconciliation Day for both Shayla and Sophie, followed by a guided meditation, breathwork, and accessible movement (yoga). The event concluces with a Q&A session, allowing the audience to engage in thoughtful dialogue.
Shayla shared her personal connection to residential schools through her father's experiences. Sophie emphasized the importance for non-Indigenous people to learn from Indigenous healing practices. They discussed the significance of community, the role of wellness practices like fasting and yoga, and the importance of addressing trauma through movement and support.

What would it take to start seeing Indigenous fashion brands held to the same regard as Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and Prada? Lesley Hampton is at the forefront of that question.
Leslie Hampton’s work as a fashion designer has been making waves across the fashion industry. She’s dressed A-listers like Lily Gladstone, and been named Forbes 30 Under 30 and Vogue’s No. 1 Canadian designer.

What does it mean to bring Indigeneity into colonial spaces, especially into the government?
Michelle Friesen, City Councilor for the City of Whitehorse, knows a thing or two about it. In October 2021 she was elected as the first Indigenous woman to serve on Whitehorse City Council – the first Indigenous person to sit in City Council in 30 years. Early this year, Michelle and her son, Theo, were in the media after she faced complaints by fellow city council members to stop bringing her son to meetings, an act that is rooted in her Indigeneity.
Michelle joins Shayla to look at the cultural and historical context of Matriarchy and motherhood in places of decision making and how she views her role, and the role of Matriarchs-in-the-making, in colonial governing institutions.
