Description

Jennifer David is a member of Chapleau Cree First Nation.

An engaging, insightful first-hand account of the development and launch of the world’s first Indigenous television network, APTN.

Original People, Original Television is the behind-the-scenes account of a little known revolution in Canadian broadcasting—a journey begun in 1922 with Nanook of the North, wending its way across generations and the width and breadth of the traditional territories of the Inuit, First Nations and Métis; culminating in the 1999 launch of the world’s inaugural Indigenous led broadcast, the Aboriginal Peoples’ Television Network. Index, Bibliography, Glossary.
