telling indigenous stories
We’re a video production company and education platform amplifying Indigenous voices and sharing stories from across Turtle Island and the globe.
This is Our promise
We're committed to authentic Indigenous storytelling, prioritizing community-led narratives and amplifying Indigenous voices. We uphold the principles of mentorship, education, and language revitalization, empowering the next generation of Indigenous creators. Through land-based storytelling and ethical filmmaking, Indigenous Geographic fosters a deeper understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, and contemporary realities.
Respect through authenticity
Our work respects the heritage and origins of the stories being told. We capture stories with integrity and truth, bringing the subject matter to the forefront ofour collective narrative.
Seeking to tell true stories
We dig deep into our partnerships, uncovering the realities and truth in the subject matter. Our goal is to capture the essence of reality, and tell that story through our lense.
Upholding cultural integrity
We prioritize community-led narratives that lift people up, and help Indigenous nations tell their stories. When communities work together, they empower themselves and others to reach a better future.

I've had the honour of working with Indigenous Geographic on a number of projects. The atmosphere they create is one of respect and support, for me as an interviewer and also for our guests. The crew is one of the most engaged teams I've ever worked with and they make it a joy. The saddest words I hear on set are "It's a wrap" because it means the shoot is over. It's always a deep pleasure. I'm honoured to work with Indigenous Geographic.
