Launch of Espaces autochtones - Radio-Canada

lagatta — Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:26:19 +0000

A spot of good news: http://ici.radio-canada.ca/espaces-autochtones/ Note that CBC also has an "Indigenous" (formerly Aboriginal) section.

As I look at stories at this forum and see that I started the story about the Enquête reports on alleged SQ (Sureté du Québec) abuse of Indigenous women in Val d'Or over a year ago...

And sadly, one of the top stories of the new Space remains the MMIW tragedy:

But this section will also spotlight cultural creators and other stories.

May I suggest "Indigenous" replace "aboriginal"? It's becoming the preferred term in many venues, and links to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We've discussed this in passing at various points but probably not in threads that mods would notice.
