He's still a young man but Wab Kinew has already lived multiple lives.
A successful hip-hop artist, a former reporter with the CBC, and now the Director of Indigenous Inclusion at the University of Winnipeg.
He's also one of the people at the heart of Idle No More - the grass-roots native protest that started small and quickly spread with flash-mobs, protests on Parliament Hill, even the threat of hunger strike.
The movement is largely a protest against Bill C-45 - a bill that directly affects First Nations communities.
Wab's been here before, as the host of a powerful CBC documentary series called 8th Fire. Its premise? That native and non-native Canadians can have relationships based on mutual trust and benefit.
