Welcome to Episode 13 of See the Change Podcast. This is Part 1 of our conversation with filmmaker and activist Morgan Tsetta.

In this episode, we talk about her start in film and her turning point from Hollywood aspirations to Indigenous storytelling. We also discuss her advocacy for Yellowknife Dene in holding the federal government accountable for reconciliation for the historic Giant Mine.

Morgan Tsetta is a Yellowknives Dene First Nation filmmaker and photographer, currently living on unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Watuth Nations, colonially referred to as Vancouver, Canada. With a passion for film, photography, and her Native culture, Morgan is committed to emphasizing the voices of Dene people, and the power of self-representation for Indigenous sovereignty.

Report: Historic Healing Journey of Inuit TB Sanatorium Survivors

In cooperation with Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., SeeChange brought a group of Inuit TB sanatorium survivors and youths to Hamilton, Ontario in July, where more than 1,200 Inuit were treated for tuberculosis in the 1950s and 60s, often suffering from abuse and isolation. The goal of the historic trip was two-fold: to bring healing and closure to survivors and to educate younger Inuit and the Canadian public about this little-known chapter of Indigenous history.

Bringing Healing and Closure for TB Sanatorium Survivors

SeeChange Initiative, Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. and the Art Gallery of Hamilton invite you to join us for an event to learn more about the little-known history of Inuit tuberculosis sanatorium survivors, and the intergenerational trauma it has caused.

CO-CREATING A WORLD OF THRIVING COMMUNITIES

We acknowledge that we are acting within a colonial system that has long served to oppress and marginalize First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. SeeChange stands in solidarity with Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island and around the world in their struggle for their right to live on and maintain a connection to their lands, express their culture, practice their customs, speak and protect their languages, and eat their traditional foods
