2026 Festival Partners
Miigwetch, Nia:wen, Thank You
We would like to thank all of imagineNATIVE’s generous partners and supporters without whom our annual Festival would not be possible. It is through their support that we are able to continue our mission of presenting Indigenous-made film and media works and strengthen our commitment to creating a greater understanding by audiences of Indigenous peoples, cultures, and artistic expressions.
