ABOUT RONNIE DEAN HARRIS
My name is Ron Dean Harris aka Ostwelve, and I am a Stō:lo/St\'át\'imc/Nlaka\'pamux multimedia artist based in Vancouver, BC. I got my start with professional graphic design at the age of 14 when I submitted a design to a Vancouver-based skateboard company named \"Arson\" and got this design printed. In the same year I began co-hosting the \"When Spirits Whisper\" radio show along side Gunargie O\'Sullivan on CO-OP Radio 100.5 FM (formerly 102.7 FM). In the past years I\'ve worked along side many amazing people on equally amazing projects. Most prominently as an actor and composer for APTN/Showcase dramatic series \"Moccasin Flats\" where I played a character named \"Red” for two seasons as a performer and a lead character in the film project \"Moccasin Flats: Redemption\" in 2007. As well I was the lead composer for APTN children\'s Cree language series \"Nehiyawetan: Let\'s Speak Cree\". In the spring of 2011, I was hired as Content Manager for RPM.fm, an Indigenous music culture website based out of Vancouver. The website focuses on bringing the latest of Indigenous music culture to its audience as well as podcast series in which I was the host. Our podcast was selected as the recipient of the United Nations DPI Gold Medal as well as being awarded a Silver Medal in the Culture & The Arts, Audio Podcast category at the New York Festivals Awards. In January of 2012, I completed the Aboriginal Leadership Certificate program at the Justice Institute of British Columbia and have plans to complete the diploma program as well. In the last 10 years I have also been very active in facilitating and creating workshop programs for youth empowerment in media arts and hip-hop. I\'ve worked with \"All Nations Healin\' Thru Artz\" in Regina and helped to create \"InDigital\", an initiative focused on creating job training for Indigenous youth in the technology industries. And more recently I joined \"Boldskool\", a hip-hop/theatre workshop created by urban ink productions based out of Vancouver, BC.
