Powerful words from Safina Stewart at .

Safina showed incredible generosity in helping PositiveMedia and Clayton Bjelan start conversations about authentic engagement with and acknowledgment of First Nations people.

Clayton worked with Safina to explore the question “how do we as a Christian media space have better conversations around our First Nations brothers and sisters?”

Does your station want to have better conversations with your local First Nations people? Our Development and Operations Grants can be used for the development of strategic plans, Reconciliation Action Plans and more.

Chat to our Grants Support Team before the next round comes in early 2026 about what’s possible.
