Storytelling Program
Cultural Preservation and Celebration Through Storytelling
Our Community Storytelling Program is at the heart of cultural preservation and celebration, providing opportunities for First Nations peoples to share their stories authentically.
Through the unique expression of language and traditions on their ancestral lands, each project resonates with the distinct voice of its community.
Working together to achieve community goals and aspirations
In the spirit of collaboration and respect, we stake the groundwork of our Storytelling Projects through comprehensive consultation with First Nations individuals and communities. Directing our efforts toward their priorities, themes, and cultural ethos, we ensure authenticity and integrity in our shared narratives.
Local community involvement is the cornerstone of every project, opening doors for paid employment and skill development within First Nations communities. From inception to broadcast, we uphold the strictest protocols for permissions and consents, safeguarding the integrity of cultural knowledge and images.
