Unreserved

A fearless space for Indigenous voices. Join Rosanna Deerchild every Friday for vibrant conversations with our cousins, aunties, elders, and heroes. Rosanna guides us on the path to better understanding our shared story. Together, we learn and unlearn, laugh and become gentler in all our relations. 


Our award-winning show is rooted in radio, where we’ve spent the last decade becoming a trusted space for Indigenous-led conversations. 


We are based in what is now known as Canada. Rosanna hails from O-Pipon-Na-Piwan Cree Nation at South Indian Lake in northern Manitoba, and now lives and works in Winnipeg (Treaty 1).

    Listening to Relatives
    The first episode had me in tears, then feeling strong and connected; Love this podcast, good medicine here! The interviews are wonderful and it was like sitting at a table with relatives, talking, listening and sharing. T’oyaxsut nüünsm!
  • The Page Master
    Insightful and Informative
    I have respect for this podcast. I am Native American myself on my mother’s side she has ancestors that are Sioux I’m white with blue eyes and blonde hair but many generations back my mom had Sioux ancestors. This man has respect for this podcast, as I’m trying to learn more about my great heritage this podcast really helps. Pilamaya which means thank you in Sioux.

    New Season

  • A Classic 'Record'
    Disappointing
    I believe this topic is important and I wanted to learn more about it, but I couldn’t connect to the podcast; the format & host doesn’t captivate at all and I wish this podcast was written in a different manner so that the material/content attempting to be shared actually reached me in an understandable way that I would feel like I was gaining knowledge. I tried listening to multiple podcasts from last year and this year and still disappointed.

    Deep Appreciation

  • Dark Spiral Dance
    Stories of North America
    The host introduces us to people who aren’t the extinct subjects of sad, historical footnotes; but part of vibrant, active, forward-looking cultures. Their stories are essential elements of the greater story of North America, and this show treats them as such. It makes me wish there was a show like this for every nation.

    Enlightening and entertaining
    A well balanced mix of stories of Indigenous people in Canada
