We’re back with the second part of our conversation with award-winning Indigenous photojournalist Pat Kane — Algonquin Anishinaabe, a proud member of the Timiskaming First Nation and a tireless visual storyteller based in Yellowknife, Canada’s Northwest Territories, focusing on preserving cultures, communities, and our connection to place.
In this second half, we dive into Pat’s National Geographic story “The Last Trappers,” exploring the history and uncertain future of this northern tradition. We also talk about his latest Caribou Conservation project, supported by the Vital Impacts' Environmental Grant in honor of Jane Goodall, and why Indigenous-led storytelling is essential for the North’s future.
Pat shares what it’s like co-founding the Far North Photo Festival, building platforms for other voices and mentoring Indigenous youth to inspire the next generation of photographers. Of course, yes — there are tales of braving –40°C with five battery packs tucked into your jacket, a camera in hand, and a quiet prayer to the shutter gods that it keeps on clicking.
This is a conversation about purpose, resilience, and community — with plenty of warmth behind the lens.
