An important perspective that’s often missing from election coverage is that of Indigenous communities. Ahead of the 2025 provincial election, TMU Today reporter Isabella Iula talked with Riley Yesno, an Anishinaabe scholar, author and political commentator from Eabametoong First Nation. Yesno is also a research fellow at the Yellowhead Institute at TMU. In this interview, she explains why issues that impact Indigenous communities and people are often left out of political campaigns.
Gabrielle McMann is an emerging journalist and storyteller who covers Indigenous art, culture, history and events, connecting audiences to the authentic lived experiences and voices of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island. Gabrielle is mixed Ojibwe from the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
