The Indigenous Collective
The Indigenous Collective is an ongoing video series that collaborates with Indigenous artists, musicians, performers, and storytellers in order to celebrate their creativity and vibrancy of life! Our production team has been travelling across the country, visiting cities and their homeland to conduct interviews, learn about diverse cultures, and capture stories and performances on camera.
The Collective was founded by Mko'Mosé Indizhnikaz (Andrew Judge) and Sharad Kharé in an effort to bring more Indigenous-focused content into the public eye, with stories told by the artists and community members themselves.
In 2018, we travelled to Ottawa to cover the Global Conference for Indigenous Entrepreneurship. Since then, our team has continued to engage and work with Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Below you can view some of that work.
The Indigenous Foods Garden Project
The Indigenous Foods Garden at Rare is an ongoing Indigenous knowledges project founded and directed by Mkomosé (Bearwalker) - Dr. Andrew Judge, the 2018 recipient of the Ages scholarship. The project utilizes Indigenous knowledge frameworks in its design and philosophy to create an engaging environment that ignites all the senses. The spiralling terraced garden aims to inspire a revitalization of Indigenous foods systems and land based sustainability practices. Visiting the garden awakens community members to knowledge found within their own ancestral teachings. By contributing to this space, both in its construction and its long term goal of creating an engaging educational forum where Indigenous land-based teachings can be recovered, shared, and disseminated widely community members are directly participating in Truth and Reconciliation. The Indigenous Foods Garden seeks to foster a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment for all, a sanctuary where threads of ancient wisdom can be woven in to the tapestry of your consciousness.
