The hour-long program broadcast at noon on Monday came together following a year-long collaboration between the high school and Concordia University’s Journalism department. “I’m Indigenous and I would absolutely love to see more Indigenous journalism students and more Indigenous journalists. They worked alongside journalism students in the department, who mentored them along the way, helping them produce reports about local ironworkers, firefighters, Kanien’kéha instructors and even the tradition of spirit stories. He also said he was impressed at just how hard Snell and the journalism department worked to keep them motivated and engaged. “After that we became really successful.”He’ll be spending the next year in Dawson’s one-year transition program for Indigenous students before deciding his next steps.
