  Duncan McCue: Most of you are here to learn how to do a better job cover First Nations. They're voices are sorely under represented. .5% over three years of media content dealt with media issues over the period of Idle No More.

  We're chasing viewers, reaching out, so they can see themselves represented. Give them the news and they are going to come to your outlet. Reach out to Aboriginal audiences, see yourself as a story taker. Outsiders have sad we want to help, we want to know your story. We've had a Century and a half of that.

  To build trust, if you're not going to use the content you ask for, don't ask it.

  NOTE: Don't get into the face of people who are grieving. First stop should be at the band office, is there a cultural protocol I should follow? Is there a family spokesperson?

  Grand Chief Phillip Stewart: Good day my relatives... acknowledging indigenous peoples.

  Media access had to be blocked.
  

  by John Stuart Carlisle 5/9/2014 9:19:56 PM
• 
  Even aboriginal media was blocked and didn't understand why. It was the grieving families request. There has to be a respect. Don't just seek those emotional clips of family member breaking down.
  

  by John Stuart Carlisle 5/9/2014 9:21:44 PM
• 
  Dan McCue: Speaks to challenge that it is to reporters. Recommends that cultural protocols be sent out to media outlets. A very good recommendation to help build respect and relationship.

  Question: How do we as journalists get the average persons story and not only the band counsel's message? 
  

  by John Stuart Carlisle 5/9/2014 9:25:21 PM

  Question on reporting on First Nations elections, how can we be respectful? 
  

  by John Stuart Carlisle 5/9/2014 9:29:36 PM
• 
  Grand Chief Stewart: Common, sense respect, seeking advice. Generally we appoint spokespeople for larger happenings, i.e. blockade  We want people know our views and reasons. 
  
  We're in this together.
