INCA students contribute to brand new magazine

June 28

Stories by 13 INCA Summer Institute students are featured in the very first issue of EFN Magazine. The magazine is a fresh relaunch of the popular newspaper Eagle Feather News, which suspended publication earlier this year.

“It was such an honour to have my first story published in EFN,” student Brittany Poitras enthused at the launch event, held in the FNUniv atrium. “To know there’s someone out there who believes in our stories and wants to share them as well, that’s so important.”

Managing editor Kerry Benjoe unveiled a sneak peak of the magazine, which will soon be mailed to First Nations communities throughout Saskatchewan.

The inaugural issue’s theme is Indigenous journalism, a fitting topic for the student journalists to explore while learning to write news stories at the Institute.

It features student interviews with journalists who gathered at FNUniv for a conference called Indigenous Peoples, the Media and Democracy. Among the journalists interviewed are INCA alumns like Connie Walker, Creeson Agecoutay and many more.
