Wadden was an early advocate for Indigenous rights during her journalism career. She is the author of Nitassinan the Innu Struggle to Reclaim their Homeland, winner of the Edna Staebler Award[3] for creative non-fiction in 1992, and Where the Pavement Ends: The Aboriginal Recovery Movement and the Urgent Need for Reconciliation (2006) which was nominated for the Writers' Trust of Canada’s[4] Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing. The research was funded by an Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy[5] and the Toronto Star newspaper. Both books were published by Douglas & McIntyre, Vancouver.
She collaborated with British anthropologist Hugh Brody on the National Film Board/Channel 4 documentary "Hunters and Bombers" that won first prize at the International Film Festival in Manheim-Heidelberg[6], Germany[7]. From Boston and New Orleans, Wadden covered the U.S. Coast Guard inquiry into the Ocean Ranger disaster that killed 84 offshore oil rig workers in 1982. A TV series she subsequently produced from Norway on safety in the offshore oil industry won a national journalism award from the Canadian Petroleum Association. She has also written for the Globe and Mail and the National Post. She is currently working on a biography of William Wordsworth’s nephew, George Hutchinson, who was a 19th-century missionary in Labrador.
