Vancouver Island University (VIU) is hosting a distinguished panel of guest speakers in this Ka Na Ta Dialogue. Expect a stimulating night of lively discussion on the role the media plays in shaping the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

�Seeing Each Other: The role of media and Indigenous voices in reshaping relationships� is part of the Ka Na Ta Dialogues series � an initiative of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the Gathering Voices Society. The event is part of VIU�s commitment to Nanaimo�s �Racism to Reconciliation� process, which began last spring.

AFN National Chief and VIU Chancellor Shawn A-in-chut Atleo, will moderate the event and will be joined by a distinguished panel of guest speakers including Wab Kinew, musician, broadcaster and educator; Judith Lavoie, freelance journalist; and Duncan McCue, CBC National reporter and professor at UBC's School of Journalism.

The dialogue will be live-streamed at www.viu.ca/kanata so people from across Canada can participate. The guest speakers will start the conversation sharing their expert views and personal perspectives. The audience � both live and online � will then be invited to ask questions of the panel either in person or through social media on Twitter #kanata2014.
