Warrior Life Podcast
Brandi Morin on Her Arrest

On today's episode of the Warrior Life Podcast, I get to talk to one of my sheroes - Brandi Morin from Michel First Nation. She is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist and one of the most dedicated and compassionate Indigenous journalists in North America. 

While performing her duties as a journalist, sharing the stories of homeless Indigenous peoples, she was arrested by the cops and now faces obstruction of justice charges. This is yet another example of the criminalization of Indigenous journalists by the cops and an attack on the core tenet of democracy - a free and open media.

Let's support Brandi as much as we can during this stressful process. Here is her Go Fund Me Link:

Hi! I'm Dr. Pam Palmater, an Indigenous lawyer, professor, author, and producer. I create educational videos, podcasts, blogs, and other content about Indigenous issues.

I provide critical analysis about state laws, policies, and practices that impact Indigenous peoples, and highlight the important work of First Nation (Canada) and Native American (USA) warriors on the frontlines of Native resistance, resurgence, and revitalization.

I am a citizen of the Mi’kmaw Nation and a member of Eel River Bar First Nation from Mi’kma’ki (Mi’kmaw territory in New Brunswick, Canada).

I am the producer and host of the Warrior Life Podcast which helps lift the voices of Indigenous leaders, advocates, land defenders, water protectors, actors, artists and even chefs! 

I am also the producer and host of the Warrior Kids Podcast – an award-winning children’s podcast which celebrates everything Indigenous – languages, stories and cool Native peeps! https://www.warriorkidspodcast.com

My newest podcast is Criminals on Patrol - shining a light on the dark side of the "thin blue line" in policing. https://www.criminalsonpatrol.com
