Indigenous Roots Productions

Mission
Indigenous Roots Productions (IRP) empowers indigenous communities with the opportunity to engage in cultural expression through oral history filmmaking as well as folkloric music production.

Vision
IRP seeks to build a diverse indigenous archive supported by consistent research methodology providing evidence for local, regional, and global patterns.

The modern geopolitical landscape inherently marginalizes First Peoples around the world as most native communities are stateless. This dynamic can compound each community’s struggle to sustain their growth, traditions, lifestyles, and even survival. Film and music production provide avenues for indigenous communities to teach others about their way of life while archiving their stories for preservation.
