Join award-winning Indigenous journalist Tchadas Leo for a timely and thought-provoking workshop that explores the realities of journalism in and alongside Indigenous communities. This session invites participants into an honest conversation about the sensitivities of telling Indigenous stories — what it means to report with respect, how to navigate what can be shared publicly and what must be protected, and the responsibilities that come with holding community stories. Tchadas will speak to the often unseen labour of this work, including the emotional toll, the impact of denialism, and the pressures Indigenous journalists face when challenging dominant narratives. Drawing on real-world experiences, the workshop will also explore how to navigate stories in complex and politicized spaces — including moments when Nations are in opposition, when external groups attempt to undermine Indigenous truth-telling, and when journalists are targeted for centering Indigenous voices. Participants will be invited to reflect on ethical decision-making, relationship-based journalism, and how to remain grounded when the work becomes difficult. This workshop is especially relevant for journalists, communicators, storytellers, and allies who want to engage Indigenous stories with care, accountability, and integrity — and who understand that responsible storytelling is not neutral work, but deeply relational work.
