Support Native Storytelling | Donate to Off The Rez Story Studio

Support Our Storytelling

Native-led film and media projects
Educational programs and curriculum development
Community screenings and facilitated conversations
Storytelling initiatives grounded in cultural responsibility and care

Why This Work Matters

Storytelling led by Native people provides room for truth, accountability, and the preservation of culture. It opposes the narratives which have influenced public opinion for many generations by substituting them with stories based on real-life experience.

The support you provide helps to make sure that this work stays focused on the community, is produced in an ethical manner, and remains accessible to the people it is intended to serve.

Thank you for supporting Native-led storytelling.
