Ka Ni Kanichihk is excited to invite you to join us Thursday, June 19th, 2025, to mark 24 years of celebrating Indigenous resilience, relationship, and reconciliation. We are proud to announce our two emcees for this year’s event, Tasha Spillett (Ph.D.), and Niigaan Sinclair (Ph.D.). Tasha Spillett draws her strength from both her Cree & Trinidadian bloodlines. She is a New York Times Bestselling author, mother, activist and academic/educator. Tasha is most heart-tied to community-led work that centres-upon land and water defense, and the protection and advancement of Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit+ Peoples. Through her academic pursuits Tasha weaves together her Afro-Indigenous cultural identity and commitment to community and research, which principally amplifies Indigenous women’s demands for MMIWG2S+ justice amidst the ceaseless assault of colonialism. Niigaan Sinclair is Anishinaabe from Peguis First Nation. He is an award-winning writer, editor, and professor of Indigenous Studies at the University of Manitoba who was named by Maclean’s magazine in 2022 as one of the most influential people in Canada.
