Indigenous Forum – The Power of Our Stories: Raising Consciousness Through Indigenous Media 

As Native peoples, we have always told our stories to pass on knowledge of where we came from, our relationships with other beings, and how to live. Now we are at a time when more and more Native creators are representing ourselves within independent and mainstream media to critical acclaim. In addition to reaching broader inter-tribal audiences than ever before, we are also sharing our cultures and perspectives with non-Natives. These media have powerful impacts. By evoking emotional connections, these productions inspire viewers to take action in social and environmental justice movements. In this panel, we’ll hear from leaders in the industry who have paved the way for the surge of Indigenous media in our news, films and television. They will share: their journeys to breaking through gatekeepers in these industries; how they are supporting up and coming media makers; and their visions for the futures of Indigenous storytelling. Moderated by Paloma Flores. Panelists TBA.

March 29th | 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm
