Help Us Help Native Youth
|
| Native Youth Media Project & Touring Film Festival Survey |

Vision Maker Media (VMM) needs your help in assessing the state of Native youth media projects and how VMM can help trainers and sponsors reach their goals. Results from this survey will help design workshops and a touring film festival to increase the reach to American Indian and Alaska Natives in media production.
As Tribal People, we are the most qualified to tell our own stories. We honor and celebrate Native values and traditions of storytelling and encourage creativity, quality and innovation that will best support Native youth in reclaiming their narrative in America.
