CityNews reporter Temi Olatunde walks and talks with Winnipeg Indigenous activist Michael Champagne, discussing some of the challenges facing the north end, and hopes for 2024.

Thank you to APTN InFocus and host Darrell Stranger for having me on their episode that highlighted the importance of Indigenous youth organizing. I was one of 4 folks interviewed for this and was honoured to talk about the importance of language, We Need Everyone and what I mean when I say revolution!

If you are from a Northern Manitoba First Nation, and like me, always wanted to learn your language but didn’t - community leader Cameron Adams has our back. He has developed the nēhinawēwin app, available on the app store to help us revive our language - let’s get learning and let’s get speaking to one another!

If you've ever wondered what would happen if Michael the city boy went out on the land and was asked to trap and skin his own food - this is your moment! Check out episode 6 of APTN's Michif Country to see what happens when I visited the Michif community of St. Laurent MB.
