Red Nation Celebration Institute’s Human Rights Initiatives use film, media, storytelling, and cultural advocacy to raise awareness and inspire action on critical issues impacting Indigenous communities and humanity as a whole. Through Only One Water, RNCI addresses climate action and environmental responsibility by amplifying Indigenous knowledge, traditional ecological practices, and the urgent need to protect water as a sacred and essential resource for all life. Through Why We Wear Red, RNCI advances awareness, remembrance, and advocacy for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Relatives (MMIWG2S), bringing visibility to the ongoing human rights crisis through media, storytelling, and public engagement. Together, these initiatives demonstrate RNCI’s commitment to using the power of arts and culture to advance justice, protect communities, honor Indigenous voices, and create meaningful social change.
Climate Change is Real, and We Must Listen.
From Native Indigenous Voices to Global Audiences Take Action
Our first medicine is the sacred water in our mother’s womb.As a collective body of creatives, we will embark on a journey to share Indigenous knowledge as water protectors and environmental stewards of this land, illustrating how these roles manifest on the big screen to raise global awareness for Mother Earth.
Our Mission is a powerful media coalition initiative aimed at raising global awareness about the glaring lack of inclusion of Native Women in Film & Television in all media. This issue is directly intertwined with the devastating epidemic of Missing and Murdered Native and Indigenous Women, Girls, and People.
