Indigenous Film Archive would not be possible without the ongoing support of my partner Jason Wolbert who has championed my work every step along the way.
Thank you to Maya S. Cade of BlackFilmArchive.com for paving the way. Special thanks to every Indigenous storyteller, filmmaker, actor, and creative who has worked, is working, and dreams to work in an industry that is soon becoming our own. Let this Archive show the progress that has been made, and still needs to be made, in the effort of truth and reconciliation.
