The National Arts Centre (NAC) Indigenous Theatre and Facebook Canada hope to help hundreds of Indigenous people create online content about their lives and culture through a new initiative.
"It's another avenue for Indigenous creators to be able to get the support that they need to be able to be who they are, and to celebrate who they are," said artist, poet and activist Zoey Roy, who works with NAC's Music Alive program.
