We Want To Hang With You
Our mission is to be a hub for Indigenous futurism in the arts. By elevating Native voices across photography, mixed media, print, audio, and digital platforms, we aim to address the underrepresentation of Indigenous peoples. Through our initiatives— such as our Native podcast incubator, mentorship program for young Indigenous creatives, curated Native art gallery, as well as developing a vibrant network of visionaries throughout Indian country— we are committed to: Changing the way we see Native America.
