MEDIA
PROGRAMS & PROJECTS.
Indigenous Lifeways continues to be a vital resource as we support and provide safe spaces in person and online for community members to gather and discuss issues that are important to our people.
By expressing ourselves through multi media and the arts as well as participating in traditional ceremonies, our community and families find their voice and purpose.
Indigenous people make up 1.3% of the population in the United States and far too long the mainstream media has falsely and inadequately portrayed indigenous people in the media.
This is the time to tell YOUR STORY! Erasure of indigenous existence, culturally appropriations and the historical genocide of our people are the reasons why indigenous people MUST be present in media in all forms.
As an indigenous women led organization we ensure our matriarchal indigenous beliefs are instilled in all programming we conduct.
