“Brandi Morin never shies away from a hard story or a fight.
A fearless Indigenous author and journalist, Ms. Morin won a prestigious Edward R. Murrow award in 2022 for her work covering the murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls’ crisis in this country. As a survivor of that very crisis, she is intimately familiar with what the colonial system has done to Indigenous Peoples – the violence, the imprisonment, the shunning and separation that emerged from two colliding worldviews – and it is from this lens that she covers every story she walks into.
On Jan. 10, Ms. Morin was at a freezing-cold, Indigenous-led encampment of fewer than a dozen people on a two-acre lot in Edmonton, interviewing Roy Cardinal, one of the spiritual leaders of this marginalized group. They are struggling to exist in their tents because they can’t afford housing on their own land…
Yet she found herself forcibly removed from the scene, arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer – a criminal charge that carries a maximum sentence of two years in jail.
There are several serious issues concerning the arrest of Ms. Morin, but perhaps the grossest is the dangerous precedent of journalists being muzzled or threatened for telling the story of the lived experience of Indigenous Peoples.”
