Reconciling the Power of One Story | Angela Sterritt | TEDxJIBC

Growing up, many were only exposed to media centered on white characters and white points of view. Today, in the age of reconciliation, the public is hungry to learn more about Indigenous world views. But many are grappling and flailing with education about Indigenous people and communities. Sterritt takes us on a journey of how Indigenous people went from victim, to victors, in the eyes of a slowly learning public. Angela has worked as a journalist for close to twenty years with her reports appearing on CBC’s the Current, the National and the Globe and Mail. She currently works with CBC Vancouver as a radio, digital & television reporter. In 2017, Sterritt launched “Reconcile This,” a CBC column that explores the tensions between Indigenous people and institutions in British Columbia. It has led to multiple policy changes and awards including an international Gabriel award. In 2017, Sterritt accepted the Investigative Award of the year from Journalists for Freedom of Expression for her team at CBC and their coverage of missing and murdered Indigenous women. In 2015 Sterritt became the first Indigenous person to be awarded a William Southam Journalism Fellowship at Massey College. She is currently writing a book on missing and murdered Indigenous women. She is Gitxsan and Irish. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
