APTN, the first national Indigenous broadcaster, makes it possible to read, see and hear news with an Indigenous perspective:
The "Espaces autochtones" section of Radio-Canada is also worth consulting, both for its news coverage and its columns and analyses:

Melissa Mollen Dupuis' video column, Parole autochtone, in Radio-Canada's "Espaces autochtones" section, offers a personal point of view on Aboriginal issues that is interesting, relevant and nuanced, with sometimes complex concepts well-publicized. Among her recent columns you should not miss:
For music lovers, the show mâmawi music by Moe Clark, on Radio-Canada's "Espaces autochtones", opens a window on the Indigenous music scene:

A must-see is Jaime Black's REDress project, which aims to be a "aesthetic response to the more than the 1000 missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada":
