Native Women in Film & Television in All Media – Film Festival. The first and largest representation of Native and Indigenous Women Filmmakers. Our Mission is a powerful media initiative aimed at raising global awareness about the glaring lack of inclusion of Native Women in Film & Television in all media. This issue is directly intertwined with the devastating epidemic of Missing and Murdered Native and Indigenous Women, Girls, and People.
