Two producers with the CBC television series
Trickster announced their resignations on Friday, a day after the Indigenous identity claims of the show s co-creator and director Michelle Latimer were called into question.
Danis Goulet, a Cree/Métis filmmaker who worked as a consulting producer, stated on Twitter she resigned from the show last week. She wrote she initially joined the production because it would be led by Indigenous creators. However, now that there is uncertainty about this, I feel a responsibility to uphold the values that I am dedicated to, she wrote.
