Industry professionals who would like to attend ‘Economic Development of Native Land’ event
At the Red Nation Celebration Institute, our mission is to dismantle the pervasive barriers of racism by instigating systemic transformation across all forms of media, including film and television. Our ultimate goal is to eradicate stereotypes about American Indians.
Our vision for the future of cinema and the arts is one where Native Indigenous perspectives are portrayed authentically, acknowledged, and appreciated. We aim to foster an environment that not only showcases these perspectives but also cultivates robust, genuine Native identities, bolstering economic prosperity, equitable representation, and the overall well-being of our Indigenous communities.
Our purpose is to amplify representation within the film and media industry, fostering an ecosystem that not only enhances production but also ignites economic prosperity within the rich and diverse tapestry of Indian Country’s entertainment landscape. Central to our mission is the attainment of visual sovereignty over our indigenous narratives, with inclusivity deeply rooted as a fundamental guiding principle.
