About Native Lens

Native Lens works with Indigenous storytellers and filmmakers around the continent to connect and amplify Native voices. Born during the pandemic as a platform for Indigenous folks to stay connected and share stories, Native Lens has grown into a training center, fellowship program, community hub and video platform that celebrates Indigenous stories and media production. Stewarded by Indigenous creatives, Native Lens now hosts hundreds of Indigenous and Native American films by Indigenous storytellers across North America.



Native Lens is a collaborative film and video project hosted by KSUT Tribal Media Center and Rocky Mountain PBS. The project provides training initiatives and showcases films produced by Indigenous peoples in North America. By sharing firsthand Native perspectives, Native Lens works to amplify Indigenous voices through storytelling.
