Congrats to @kingsjournalism @ukings MJ students Gokce On & @HannahSangster who collaborated with @PattiSonntag, @DrTrishElliott @FNUNIVCAN, @globalnews for this important national story about people who pretend to be Indigenous to get govt contracts, and steal opportunity.
This collaboration between @GlobalNews @INCA_FNUNIV & @Ukings School of Journalism @PaulineDakin saw student researchers working alongside @PattiSonntag, Melissa Ridgen & @alexboutilier for months. Great (paid) experience! https://t.co/xWe4ox1Mpc
