My name is Waubgeshig Isaac Rice.
I am a broadcast journalist and a writer.
I live in Ottawa.
I grew up in a beautiful place called Wasauksing.
My dad is Ojibway and my mom is Canadian.
I am proud of my background.
I speak German better than I speak Ojibway.
Music is the second most important thing in my life.
I love my family and friends and am blessed to have so many great people in my life.
I only watch news, sports, and current affairs on TV.
I like movies that make you stay in your seat long after the credits are done rolling.
I like books that make you re-read the last 20 pages right after you finish.
My favourite teams are the Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays, and Bills.
I appreciate that you’ve visited.
Miigwetch.

Hi Waub:
Like Linda (Sept.20,2011) we too have missed you from the National broadcasting from Winnipeg. It was good visiting with your Grandma last summer and to hear about you living in Ottawa and writing a book.
We are so happy to see that the book is finished and that you are touring & doing readings. This is all such good news. You are a great journalist and we are looking forward to reading “Midnight Sweatlodge”.
Larry & I wish you well in your work and in your life, Waub.
We feel blessed that our paths crossed again while you were in Winnipeg.
All the best, Lois

Hi Waubgeshig:
Do you know where I can buy your book in Ottawa? Doesn’t look like there are any in stock at Chapters. I know I can order online but I was hoping to get my hands on a copy early this week.
Kindest regards,
Andrea

Hi Waub.
I hope it is ok to comment here. I was not sure how else to get in touch with you. I just wanted to say I say the video you put together in regards to our situation at the house. It is really well done and I want to say thank you. We are getting phone calls and emails from friends that watched it this evening.
Thank you again and again!!!!
Kevin
Please drop me a line.

Hi Waub,
Just wanted to say hi and that I am now an avid reader of your blog! I am an aspiring journalist who just moved to Vancouver from Winnipeg. I met you a few years back when you interviewed my cousin and I for CBC about our late cousin Tannis Bird who died in a car crash in ’07. I’ve been a fan of your work for a while now, and I hope to find your book somewhere soon!
Keep up the great work, you are inspiring!

Good day, Mr. Rice.
My name is Julianna Morin and I am a student in the Indigenous Studies
program at the University of Ottawa, under professor George Sioui and
Elder Rarihokwats.
I really love your reporting style, and wish, as I’m sure my fellow viwevers do, that we could see and hear you more! You consistently cover stories from a novel perspective and make invaluable insights into what’s going-on in this nation of ours.
I would be interested in opening-up a discussion with you about how you view your role in the Canadian decolonization movement, both as a self-identifying member of the Ojibway nation and as someone who is employed by a major, mainstream media outlet.
Any input you could offer – at your convenience, of course – would be
greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Julianna Morin
