AISES is pleased to announce that Winds of Change magazine has won two 2023 National Native Media Awards and merited an additional Honorable Mention from the Native American Journalists Association (NAJA). AISES congratulates the magazine team and the Editorial Advisory Council for these awards, which were announced on July 3.
For three consecutive years, Winds of Change has received recognition in the Print/Online Best Feature Story and Best Environmental Coverage categories. This year the magazine garnered first place for its story on “Climate Change and Infrastructure” with accompanying coverage of “Canada’s Indigenous Communities Combat Climate Change.” The story appears in the Winds of Change summer 2022 issue. Winds of Change also earned an Honorable Mention in the Best Environmental Coverage category for the profile of Ryan Matilton in the spring 2022 issue.
The profile of Dr. Sonia Ibarra in the fall 2022 issue merited Second Place in the Print/Online Best Feature Story category. Dr. Ibarra, the 2022 winner of the AISES Indigenous Excellence Professional Award, was recognized at the 2022 AISES National Conference in Palm Springs, Calif.
“The 10 National Native Media Awards Winds of Change has received in just the past three years are a testament to the hard work of the team,” said Karen English, editor of the magazine. “More broadly, the awards underscore the commitment of AISES to supporting Indigenous talent in STEM. Keeping Winds of Change readers abreast of the latest news of AISES and its members as well as advances in STEM is a privilege, and for the team these awards are both humbling and inspiring.”
The Native American Journalists Association is the leading international awards organization honoring excellence in print/online, radio/podcast, television, and multimedia journalism that elevates Indigenous voices and focuses on issues important to Native people.
