For the first 24 years of its existence Eagle Feather News was a free monthly paper distributed to First Nation communities and Métis locals in Saskatchewan.

In 2021, a new team took over the operation of the paper and after some growing pains and a short hiatus it was reborn as EFN Media. The monthly paper has been replaced with a quarterly magazine and the new website was redeveloped in partnership with Pattison Media.

Despite the changes, EFN Media formerly Eagle Feather News, remains committed to sharing the stories of First Nations and Métis people living in Saskatchewan and beyond. Our stories cover topics of interest to our readers. We deliver smart journalism and commentary to issues such as health, business, politics, history, sports and the arts. We also have our exclusive features such as  the Elder’s Profile, Reconciliation Ally and the newly launched Common Threads.

EFN Media remains a 100-per-cent, Indigenous-owned business which provides opportunities to freelance writers from all backgrounds to develop their storytelling skills. Through the support of our readers and advertisers, we can tell the positive Indigenous stories people need to hear. We are the most widely circulated Indigenous magazine and the most viewed Indigenous online news platform in the province. We reach 20,000 people every month and our team is dedicated to growing that number.

EFN Media’s Editor-in-Chief Kerry Benjoe, from the Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation located in Treaty 4 Territory, is based out of Regina. With more than 20 years of journalism experience under her belt she brings her storytelling and editing skills to EFN Media. She also holds a BA in English and Indigenous Studies and a Master of Journalism from the University of Regina.
Kerry launched her journalism career at Eagle Feather News in 2002 as a freelance writer and went on to work at both the Regina Leader Post and CBC Saskatchewan before returning to her roots.

She remains dedicated to providing opportunities for other emerging writers both from the community and from universities.
Kerry is a Day School and Indian Residential School Survivor and believes being able to tell our stories our way is critical to changing the narrative of Indigenous people in Canada.

“We are more than just our trauma.” (Kerry Benjoe)
