MEDIA INDIGENA 68
Added 2017-06-26 00:04:27 +0000 UTCOn this week's Indigenous roundtable:
When words fail... especially after one hears about the enormous equity gap in federal funding between French and Inuit languages in Nunavut.
Putting us on the map—literally. Google announces that users of its Maps app will now get to see thousands more Indigenous communities. But will that hide as much as it reveals?
Articles mentioned during the discussion:
- NDP MP slams Speaker's ruling that House of Commons can’t translate indigenous languages
- The politics of making maps
Back at the roundtable one last time are Karyn Pugliese, APTN's Executive Director of News and Current Affairs, plus Lisa Girbav, a radio broadcaster and student from the Tsimshian territory.
