A beetle, ash trees and basketmaking.

We partnered with @duncanmccue.bsky.social's Reporting in Indigenous Communities class at Carleton University for a story about one Mohawk community’s fight to protect black ash trees and a long tradition of basketmaking from the invasive emerald ash borer.

We are so pleased to have @thenarwhal.ca (and @cangeo.bsky.social) as our media partners for our RIIC class this year! Appreciate all the guidance you’ve offered and helping us amplify Indigenous stories from Ottawa and Ottawa Valley!
