    Press Release For immediate RELEASE WAPIKONI FROM COAST TO COAST RECONCILIATION THROUGH MEDIA ARTS Montreal, November 23, 2016 – Wapikoni Mobile, a travelling studio that gives a voice to Indigenous youth through mediation, training and audiovisual production, is proud to announce that it has been selected by the Government of Canada as a recipient of the Canada 150 Fund. “Through the project “Wapikoni from Coast to Coast: Building Bridges and Reconciliation through Media Arts”, young Indigenous Canadians will have the opportunity to be heard and to exchange ideas. Our government is proud to contribute more than $2 million to support the audiovisual and musical creative workshops that will give young creators the chance to express themselves. The resulting works will be presented in several communities across the country. Let’s take advantage of the 150th anniversary of Confederation to have a positive dialogue and to strengthen relations between us all,” said the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage. On this occasion and for the first time ever, Wapikoni – a First Nations organization – will collaborate with the Metis and Inuit nations. Wapikoni will also meet with other First Nations across Canada and will reinforce its existing ties with minority language communities. This unique three-fold venture involves about 30 partners, including Indigenous communities, the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Festival, the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), ensuring maximum reach and visibility. In the first segment of the project – and with a new mobile studio – Wapikoni will complete a Canadian audiovisual and music creation tour in 20 Indigenous communities and urban centres in eight provinces and territories.

LATIN AMERICA INDIGENOUS FUNDERS CONFERENCE We are delighted to welcome you to IFIP’s Latin America Regional Funders Conference in Lima, Peru. This conference brings together a diverse array of leaders from Indigenous communities, ngos, and donor organizations to highlight why Indigenous Philanthropy offers a tremendous potential to strengthen the self-development of Indigenous communities. Our conference theme is Buen Vivir: Supporting the Role of Indigenous Peoples in Bio-Cultural Diversity, Human Rights and Sustainable Economic Models. This year for the first time we have expanded the conference concurrent sessions into four tracks to meet overwhelming interest in this theme and accommodate the excellent session proposals received. At the same time, the agenda will offer plenty of networking opportunities designed to provide a fulfilling conference experience. Our goal is to bring together stories, experiences and ideas for collaboration, as well as ways of learning about the different grantmaking approaches and how funders work in partnership with local communities, social movements, ngos, and others to advance Indigenous peoples’ well-being, security and rights. It is our hope that, as you engage in the conference, you will take this opportunity to practice the “Four Rs of Indigenous Philanthropy”: • Reciprocity in the give-and-take of listening and speaking.

Identidad cultural. Relaciones interculturales. Quebec. _____________ Resumen La presente investigación estudia el trabajo artístico de Samian, un joven rapero anishnabe quebequense que se afirma como portavoz de las Primeras Naciones y cuya presencia en la escena artística quebequense se hace cada vez más importante. Por una parte, se interesa en el rap como género musical híbrido y rizomático por encontrarse en todas partes del mundo así como en todos los idiomas, pero también como forma artística de los sin voz percibida como una cultura de oposición (Hechter 1975, 1978), una cultura de resistencia (Mitchell y Feagin, 1995; Martínez 1997) y una resistencia vernácula (Potter 1995). Por otra parte, el artículo trata de destacar la propuesta intercultural, identitaria y política de Samian: a través de su estilo musical, su elección de cantar en lenguas autóctonas, las letras de sus canciones y el análisis fílmico de algunos de sus videoclips. Résumé La présente recherche étudie le travail artistique de Samian, un jeune rappeur anishnabe québécois qui s’affirme en tant que porte-parole des Première nations et dont la présence sur la scène artistique québécoise se fait de plus en plus importante. D’une part, elle s’intéresse au rap comme genre musical hybride et rhizomatique puisqu’il se retrouve dans tous les coins du monde ainsi qu’en toutes les langues, mais, aussi, comme forme artistique des sans voix perçue comme une culture d’opposition (Hechter 1975, 1978), une culture de résistance (Mitchell y Feagin 1995; Martínez 1997) et une résistance vernaculaire (Potter 1995).
