This presentation discusses ways in which Canada's public broadcaster is working to mobilize its vast archival legacy to support its reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. From the digitization of archival radio shows that aired in Indigenous languages, to analyzing historical coverage for its portrayals of Indigenous stories, CBC/Radio-Canada is advancing along its reconciliation journey by surfacing the truths embedded in its audiovisual past, in collaboration with Indigenous researchers and communities.
Kris Clemens is the Senior Advisor, Indigenous Strategy at CBC/Radio-Canada and a Red River Métis citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
