IIn 2016, the Honourable Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs, Carolyn Bennett, appointed Indigenous youth leaders André Bear, Gabrielle Fayant, and Maatalii Okalik to establish the Voices of Indigenous Youth Council to provide implementation recommendations for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) Call to Action #66: “We call upon the federal government to establish multi year funding for community-based youth organizations to deliver programs on reconciliation, and establish a national network to share information and best practices.” The council developed A Roadmap to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action #66 to guide the process, based on surveys and consultations with youth across the country. Gabrielle shared an engaging keynote on Indigenous Youth Voices at YouthREX’s 2018 Knowledge to Action Exchange. Summarized are 5 key messages from this talk.

Noongom
We have uploaded episodes of Noongom, a TV series hosted by co- founder Gabrielle Fayant. This series 'Noongom" means today in Anishnaabemowin. This series focuses on realities of Indigenous peoples in urban settings today. You will see many faces of community members throughout these videos, maybe you will even see yourself.
You can use this video and others (themes of allyship and homelessness) as educational resources.
