What does it mean to be an “Indigenous Influencer”?

Marika Sila is an Inuvialuk actress, stunt performer, and activist who also shares content with over half a million followers across Instagram and Tiktok. She and her dad blew up the internet this year showcasing traditional snow blinders made from antler.

Marika joins the Matriarch Movement podcast to share an inside perspective on the nuances of being an “Indigenous Influencer”, how she approached brand deals and partnerships, and the responsibilities that come with a significant public platform.  Shayla and Marika also share some hilarious stories from their experiences on the Amazing Race Canada.
