Indigenous Screen Office

The audiovisual sector is a key vehicle for the revitalization of Indigenous cultures and languages.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Calls to Action and the Final Report from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls’ (MMIWG) Calls for Justice all contain provisions describing how the audiovisual sector is a critical vector for Indigenous language and culture revitalization. The Government is committed both to accelerate Reconciliation efforts; and to support additional capacity building for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.
