About Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's (Season 2)

Last May, investigative journalist Connie Walker came upon a story about her late father she'd never heard before. One night back in the late 1970s while he was working as an officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, he pulled over a suspected drunk driver. He walked up to the vehicle and came face-to-face with a ghost from his past—a residential school priest. What happened on the road that night set in motion an investigation that would send Connie deep into her own past, trying to uncover the secrets of her family and the legacy of trauma passed down through the generations.

In Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's, Connie unearths how her family's story fits into one of Canada's darkest chapters: the residential school system.

About Stolen: The Search for Jermain (Season 1)

In 2018, a young Indigenous mother named Jermain Charlo left a bar in Missoula, Montana, and was never seen again.  After two years and thousands of hours of investigative work, police believe they are close to solving the mystery of what happened to her.  We go inside the investigation, tracking down leads and joining search parties through the dense mountains of the Flathead Reservation.  As we unravel this mystery, the show examines what it means to be an Indigenous woman in America.

Stolen is hosted by Connie Walker.

Meet Indigenous podcasters who are decolonizing the airwaves

CBC Radio · April 9, 2021

On Unreserved, Indigenous people are decolonizing our podcast feeds with four great projects. Host Falen Johnson's dog, Reg, enjoys each one equally. (Falen Johnson/CBC, podcast covers submitted)

Unreserved

More and more Indigenous creatives are turning to podcasting as a way to share stories. On Unreserved, we're talking with Indigenous podcasters who are decolonizing the airwaves. 

In 2021, former CBC host, Waubgeshig Rice, sent out a tweet.  It read, "So...who'd be interested in a podcast about Indigenous literature?"  That tweet got more than 8,000 likes, and was enough to support the creation of the Storykeepers Podcast.  The podcast, launched in March in 2021, is hosted by Waubgeshig Rice and writer Jennifer David and is all about Indigenous literature.

Connie Walker was on CBC's airwaves for more than 20 years. Her most recent work focused on telling the stories of Missing and Murdered Indigenous women. Her latest podcast, Stolen: The Search for Jermain, is available through Gimlet Media. 

Glenn Wheeler, a member of the Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation, serves as host for the podcast called Mi'kmaq Matters. The podcast was Wheeler's way of keeping in touch with his community despite living in Toronto.

Dene Talk is a brand-new podcast from Cassidy Villebrun-Buracas, who describes it as Indigenous people talking about a wide range of topics. Guests have included writers and burlesque dancers, to psychologists and birth workers.
