Windspeaker Media is owned and operated by the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta.
Each year, Windspeaker.com publishes hundreds of news articles focused on Indigenous peoples, their issues and concerns, and the work they are undertaking to build a better future for themselves, their children and the children as yet unborn.
Through our reporting, Windspeaker seeks out knowledgeable sources and experts on a wide variety of important topics critical to understanding Indigenous Nation building and rebuilding within the country called Canada.
We seek to provide the greater lessons to be learned on these topics from the Indigenous perspective and worldview, and we strive to widen readers’ awareness, even if it’s incrementally, with each article published.

It has been an awesome 40 years since the first edition of Windspeaker (then called AMMSA) rolled off the presses on March 18, 1983. We have evolved from hard copy print, then to include digital, and now are finally a completely online news service.
We hope you continue to follow us for many years to come.
Warmest Wishes,
