Our vision
Our Proposed Vision
We envision a future where citizens of the Métis Nation have the power, resources, and opportunities to:
- Tell our own stories and preserve our histories.
- Shape the authentic expression of our voices in film, television, and emerging storytelling mediums.
- Shine a light on today's inspirations.
Storytelling is more than entertainment. It preserves culture, supports healing, strengthens identity, creates economic opportunity, and carries the knowledge of one generation into the next.
Although we recognize that our history is inseparable from the kinship relationships connecting our people with First Nations, Inuit and other Indigenous peoples, it's of utmost importance to honour and preserve our past authentically while considering what it means in the current world.
By building upon the work of generations of Métis storytellers, artists, cultural leaders, and mentors, we seek to widen the circle of creative participation while strengthening the foundations of our Nation.
Ultimately, we envision a thriving, self-determined Métis screen industry, built by Métis Nation citizens and our past, where our people have the power to create, own, produce, and share their stories with the world.
