Tanya Talaga: Listen & Learn about her Journey fron childhood to journalist to Documentary Filmmaker

Welcome to CFNU Studio host, Lindell Haywahe, joined by one of the most influential Indigenous storytellers of our time.

Tanya Talaga is an award-winning Anishinaabe journalist, author, and filmmaker from Fort William First Nation. After more than two decades reporting at the Toronto Star and later writing for The Globe and Mail, she became nationally known for her groundbreaking book Seven Fallen Feathers, followed by All Our Relations and The Knowing. She also brought her storytelling to film with Red Power Rising and founded Makwa Creative to support Indigenous-led media production.

Her work confronts Canada’s colonial history while amplifying Indigenous truth, resilience, and resurgence.
