Research & advocacy

Our proposed research agenda examines how casting practices, industry classifications and access to opportunities affect Red River Métis screen professionals.

Broad Indigenous representation figures cannot, on their own, show how Red River Métis participation changes. We seek meaningful information about our own employment, representation and opportunities.

“Métis Are Not Who Hollywood Thinks We Are” explores identity, racial expectations and the ways industry systems can make distinct peoples difficult to see. It is currently in development; a completed report or video is not yet available here.

What barriers have you encountered? What would fair access look like? Share your priorities through the community consultation. Please avoid including confidential information about other people.
