This Indigenous History Month, one Saskatchewan man has been turning to social media to educate about Canada's treatment of Indigenous people. Jaris Swidrovich, a member of the Yellow Quill First Nation, has accumulated over a thousand new followers and hundreds of shares since mid-June as he has been posting facts about Indigenous history and contemporary life. Swidrovich says people frequently ask why they didn't learn these facts about Indigenous life during their schooling. Through social media campaigns like this one and through giving presentations across the country Swidrovich is working on changing that narrative. Listen to Jaris Swidrovich talk about his social media campaign on CBC's Saskatoon Morning.
