At imagineNATIVE, we strive to create a festival atmosphere that brings people together in a good way to celebrate our stories, cultures, and art. All attendees of imagineNATIVE events — including Elders, invited delegates, and members of the public — have the right to be free from harassment, discrimination, and threatening or disrespectful behaviour both in-person and online.

Unacceptable behaviour includes but is not limited to:

  • Offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, harassment, disability, physical appearance, size, race, ethnicity, or religion
  • Deliberate intimidation
  • Harassing photography
  • Sustained disruption of talks or other events
  • Inappropriate physical contact


imagineNATIVE reserves the right to refuse entry to festival events and venues or revoke accreditation from those who engage in such conduct without notice.

If you experience a violation of the code of conduct at the Festival or another imagineNATIVE event please contact a staff member. All violations of the law should be reported to local law enforcement. For emergencies, immediately dial 911.

We strive to work responsibly, professionally, and with care at all times and ask that you share this commitment to fostering a supportive, loving, and safe festival environment.
