Trina Roache

Trina Roache is a proud member of the Glooscap Mi’kmaw community in a region of Mi’kma’ki we now call Nova Scotia.

She’s an award-winning video journalist and assistant professor at the School of Journalism at the University of King’s College in Kjipuktuk (Halifax).

Trina brings over two decades of experience working for CBC, APTN National News, and APTN Investigates to her current role as an educator.

She weaves a Mi’kmaw perspective into both her journalism and the classroom, teaching vital courses that envision a decolonized media, like Reporting in Mi’kma’ki and Indigenous Peoples and Media.

With an MA in History from Dalhousie University, Trina’s academic research centres the Mi’kmaw connection to traditional homelands as a way to reframe colonial narratives and unsilence the voices of L’nu’k, The People.
