In small hamlets, First Nations and Inuit communities across Canada's north, many pregnant women have little choice but to travel south, far away from home, to give birth. Local care for mothers and babies simply isn't available. For decades, Inuit women in the vast area of northern Quebec known as Nunavik faced similar pressures. That was until one pregnant woman refused to get on a plane and go south to deliver her baby. Her act of resistance ignited a sea-change, and in 1986 the community of Puvirnituq opened the first midwifery clinic in the North. On this week's Storylines, Duncan McCue takes us to Puvirnituq, to bring us the story behind that clinic, and meet the midwives who serve their own community.

He is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, professor, and author. After 25 years at CBC,the Anishinaabe storyteller is moving on from the public broadcaster and on to a new stage.

Despite the jokes about our egos, many of us journalists got into the business because we felt a need to call out powerful institutions.But journalism itself is one of those powerful institutions, and it has failed time and again to address criticisms around who gets to tell the news and whose perspectives get left out.Some researchers have called this a crisis of journalism, a “digital reckoning.” And they are not talking about economics, with local newsrooms and news budgets on the decline, though that is part of it.When it comes to reporting and covering Indigenous Peoples, journalism's institutions have failed. For example, a good part of the reason so many Canadians are not familiar with the history of the Indian Residential Schools is because Canadian media failed to tell those stories. We failed to address the ongoing colonialism and that has meant that urgent Indigenous issues have been ignored or sensationalized.And journalism schools only recently began teaching their students how to think critically while covering stories like these.Our guest on this episode of Don't Call Me Resilient has been working on correcting these issues both in the newsroom and in the classroom.Duncan McCue is an award-winning Anishinaabe journalist.He has worked at the CBC for over 20 years reporting for The National and as the host of Cross Country Checkup.Duncan was part of a CBC investigation into missing and murdered Indigenous women that won the Hillman Award for Investigative Journalism. Most recently, he has produced and hosted Kuper Island, an eight-episode podcast that focuses on four students of a residential school in B.C. — three who survived and one who didn't.As an educator, Duncan has taught journalism at the University of British Columbia and Toronto Metropolitan University.

It’s a heavy one this week, as Elamin and Rosie explore the state of Canada’s path to reconciliation with the help of CBC colleague Duncan McCue. Over the past week, many people across the country have reacted with shock and horror at the preliminary discovery on the grounds of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., where the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation said they found the potential remains of possibly as many as 215 children in an undocumented burial site. But is the news surprising, when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission told Canadians more than five years ago it had documented the deaths of at least 3,200 Indigenous children, with likely thousands more yet to be acknowledged? The three take stock of the reaction across the country this week, and what it says about Canadians’ understanding of the reality — and the urgency — of the issue of residential schools. A National Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former students and those affected. Access emotional and crisis referral services by calling the 24-hour national crisis line: 1-866-925-4419. An earlier version of this podcast misattributed the quote indicating the goal of residential schools was "to kill the Indian in the child." That error has been fixed.

Connie Walker is an investigative reporter and podcast host. Her new show is Stolen: The Search for Jermain.“For so long, there has been this kind of history of journalists coming in and taking stories from Indigenous communities. And that kind of extractive, transactional kind of journalism that really causes a lot of harm. And so much of our work is trying to undo and address that. There is a way to be a storyteller and help amplify and give people agency in their stories.” Thanks to Mailchimp for sponsoring this week's episode.
