Christina Gervais

Podcast Host & Producer

Christina Rose Gervais is a Lakota Sioux from Wood Mountain Lakota First Nation. She’s in her second year of university, studying at the First Nations University of Canada in Regina, SK, with the aim of obtaining her Indigenous Journalism and Communications certificate and business degree. Christina has three beautiful children: two boys, Bentley (eight), Lincoln (two), and one girl, Bella, who is only six months old. She recently moved to her homeland on reserve to raise her children in her Indigenous community. When the children are not occupying her time, she’s involved in multiple side projects, one of which took first place in the Regina 48-Hour Anti-Racism film challenge for the Canadian Cultural Mosaic Foundation. Christina is also hosting language podcasts in the Lakota language for pîkiskwêwin, including one with a morning prayer. She just finished an entrepreneurship program with the International Indigenous Speakers Bureau where she sorted content and helped produce knowledge nuggets for Orange Shirt Day, and has just started a fellowship with the Climate Disasters Project, interviewing people who have been through a natural disaster and want to tell their stories. Christina participates in regular climate discussions with Indigenous Climate Action because she cares about the land and wants to make our environmental footprint as small as possible. Christina said, “I care about the youth and what will be left for the next seven generations so I want to do as much as I can to make a better tomorrow.”
