The third video from our Indigenous Voices video series features Nadya Kwandibens, an Anishinaabe / Ojibwe photographer who uses her work to tell vibrant and modern stories about Indigenous people from across Canada.

In this latest video Nadya visits Mi’kmaq Territory in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to photograph the people and their vibrant culture.

Indigenous Voices – Nadya Kwandibens, Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, Canada from Indigenous Tourism Canada on Vimeo.

“Right from the start it’s always been about depicting Indigenous peoples in the most positive light. And about sharing how much of our culture is still here.”

“I think at the heart of it our cultures are about being a part of something and creating unity. Not only within our own community but as Nations – it’s so good to see.”

The Indigenous Voices video series was created in partnership with Destination Canada. View more videos from Indigenous Canada in our Gallery!
