Tchadas Leo became the first Coast Salish journalist to anchor a news program on Coast Salish territory earlier this year.

Leo, the winner of this year’s RTDNA Canada Emerging Journalist Award, has been working with Victoria’s CHEK Media since 2021, hosting the award-winning podcast and now television series Our Native Land, which explores all things Indigenous and First Nations on Vancouver Island.

He joins Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast to talk about his media journey thus far, his commitment to telling under-reported Indigenous stories, and his thoughts on recruiting the next generation of journalists.
