Yesterday I was described as a ‘relational reporter’. I had to ask what that was. They said it’s a journalist who (to cut a long description short) — takes the time, shows empathy, follows up. “As opposed to an extractive or transactional reporter.” I like that.

In the face of environmental and bureaucratic challenges, Sumas First Nation is building a fish weir — a technology still banned under the Fisheries Act. A co-publication with @IndigiNewsMedia, by @AmyRomer

I’ve been working on this story for quite some time. Thanks to @ijnr_connect, folks from the Centre of Indigenous Fisheries for bringing this story my way, Sumas First Nation for their time and @IndigiNewsMedia and @thenarwhalca for making the story better!
The last time Semá:th fished with their own weir, the territory looked vastly different. As a crew cranes the metal weir into the river, no one is confident if it will stay. “It’s a mixture of nervousness, tension and excitement." Story by @AmyRomer
