✅ Story as vehicle for transformation, community, and connection
Who are the Turtle Island Creative Impact Coalition?
Bringing together filmmakers, storytellers, and creators to explore new pathways of possibility across Turtle Island.
The Turtle Island Creative Impact Coalition is an Indigenous-led initiative to coordinate communication, access, and opportunities across Turtle Island where creativity, innovation for impact; regenerative media, and reconciliation-focused, restorative, rural community economic development intentionally intersect.
Background: On September 28th, 2022, with funding received from Heritage Canada, we initiated the first gathering of our Creating Space to Heal community event series called For The Children.
On March 25th & 26th, 2023, we’ll host our second event, a Regenerative Media Filmmakers’ Panel entitled, “The Story of Us”. This is your opportunity to share in our passion for all that is possible through transformative storytelling and film, and its role in Creating Space to Heal in community.

"One of the reasons events like this one are so important to me comes from a belief that ‘media that heals’ must come from ‘healed creators, creatives, and crews or teams’. The media we see across our screens originates with the artists. Filmmakers play a critical role in shifting the trajectory of our future’s narrative."
