Indigenous Speaker Series with Angela Sterritt

Join us to hear Angela Sterritt, award-winning investigative journalist, TV, radio, and podcast host, and national bestselling author. Her award nominated book Unbroken, published by Greystone Books, is part memoir and part investigation into the murders and disappearances of Indigenous women and girls.

Sterritt talks about overcoming adversity, breaking stereotypes, and creating change and relationships in Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.

Angela is from the Wilp Wiik’aax (we-GAK) of the Gitanmaax (GIT-in-max) community within the Gitxsan (GICK-san) Nation on her dad’s side and from Bell Island, Newfoundland on her maternal side. Sterritt worked as a television, radio, and digital journalist at CBC for more than a decade. She also hosted the award-winning CBC original podcast, Land Back.

The Indigenous Speaker Series is a series of insightful talks given by Indigenous scholars, writers, innovators, Elders, activists, storytellers and makers. These events are an occasion to amplify the voices and perspectives of Indigenous peoples and for participants to engage with speakers on issues impacting our communities. This series is organized by Indigenous Education and Services (IES) and the Teaching and Curriculum Development Centre (TCDC).

This is a free, in-person event open to all students, faculty and staff.
