Meet Your Hosts

Lindell Haywahe
Radio Host & Producer

I am a residential school survivor and third generation attendee. I lived on the rez.  After high school graduation, I wandered around, academically until 2 kids and a lifetime later–I finally graduated with a BA in English and a INCA Certificate in 2014. I was a computer resource facilitator/ social media manager for a non-profit then turned Nakota Times Editor for Cega Kin Nakota Oyate. Then I walked the plank on band office politics and was picked up lost at sea by Pikiswewin and CFNU! Can you imagine– Just over a year ago I learned the software, learned how to have a conversation! Now, I am mentoring other students’ journeys in broadcasting. Looking forward to the next part of this journey!

Hą́ midáguyabi, Amanda Leader emą́giyabi. Céǧa k’ína edá namákoda. Hello my relations, they call me Amanda Leader. I am Nakoda from Carry the Kettle. My studies are majoring in Psychology and minoring in Indigenous Fine Art at FNUniv. I got involved with the CFNU radio by giving updates about the FNUnivSA-Regina as a council member and never left. The safe space created for students in the INCA and IFA departments has been life changing for me, and I highly encourage students to get involved!
