The First Mile

Supported by the SSHRC-funded First Nations Innovation Project

Originally from the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation in southern Ontario, Duncan has also taught journalism to students at the First Nations University and Capilano College.

Duncan recently created a website called Reporting in Indigenous Communities.The website is an online guide to assist journalists - both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal - who report in Indigenous communities.

The website offers many resources for journalists, including:

• Guide for Journalists, with tips and ideas for researching, pitching, and presenting stories;
• Reporter's Checklist, whether you are at the desk, in the field, or on the air;
• Teachings, which offers space to share stories and advice;
• Resources, which will provide links to helpful information.
