Brad Bellegarde is a member of the Little Black Bear First Nation and grew up in Regina, SK. He is also a hip hop artist and has performed numerous times. He was selected by the Saskatchewan Arts Board to perform for the 2009 Cultural Olympiad in Vancouver, BC. Brad has a keen interest in TV and Radio Journalism, and his goal is to be an on-air personality. He hopes that the INCA Summer Institute will play a major role in his career in Radio and TV. Brad is a Fine Arts student at FNUniv.

Amanda Patchett is a member of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations and lives in Whitehorse, Yukon. She is taking the Summer of Institute to get more training and experience in Journalism. She plans to return to Whitehorse and become a radio host and reporter on the Northern Native Broadcasting Yukon (NNBY) radio station CHON-FM.

Jill Brewer says the INCA Summer Institute is a stepping stone that will take her from a decade working with First Nations exhibits in a museum to working with real people in the community.  Jill is originally from Alberta, where she taught a variety of traditional, contemporary and professional skills for the Native art market. She moved to Regina in 1994 to attend the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (SIFC), and then took a position at the  Royal Saskatchewan Museum that kept her busy for 12 years. She is developing her journalism skills so she can devote herself to something she feels passionate about.
