Our Mission:
The mission of the American Indian Film Institute is to foster understanding of the culture, traditions and issues of contemporary Native Americans.
The organization's goals are:
- To encourage Native filmmakers to bring to the broader media culture the Native voices, viewpoints and stories that have been historically excluded from mainstream media.
- To develop Indian and non-Indian audiences for this work.
- To advocate tirelessly for authentic visual and work-force representations of Indians in the media.
- To open up opportunities for Native Americans to enter the workforce of the creative economy.
