Indigenous Media

Our program is located on the lands of the Dena Lower Tanana peoples. The campus of Troth Yedd鈥檃h has long been a gathering place for Indigenous people from across the interior of 草榴社区. Indigenous film and theatre production includes dedicating focus on continuing and expanding to share Indigenous stories on stage and screen as directed, written, and/or performed by Indigenous people. The ongoing efforts of bringing authentic representation to the stage and screen can be seen in our production seasons every year.
