[Nmtriblibs] Brightening the Spotlight: The Practices and Needs of Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Alaska Native Creators in the Performing Arts

[Osterloh, Cassandra, DCA]

FYI

THE PRACTICES AND NEEDS OF NATIVE AMERICAN, NATIVE HAWAIIAN, AND ALASKA NATIVE CREATORS IN THE PERFORMING ARTS
This in-depth report is based on interviews with 46 Native creators and experts across a variety of creative art forms, geographic location, tribal affiliations, and years of experience.
Key findings of the report include:
Current funding and presenting opportunities do not meet the needs of many Native creators.
Native creators want and deserve to work with partners who treat them as professionals and who trust in their creative decision-making.
Over half of interviewees recommend that more Natives and culturally knowledgeable non-Natives be involved in funding decisions.
Native creators do more than perform. Native creators play a wide range of roles in their communities, keeping traditions alive, promoting health and economic opportunities, and educating non-Native audiences.
Brightening the Spotlight quantitatively recognizes what many Indigenous-led organizations have known through the years. We hope this study will start meaningful conversations and changes to grantmaking practices that better support and uplift Native creators and Indigenous arts and culture.
