The program design was guided by the reflections and perspectives of local Indigenous artists. Sincere thanks to everyone who contributed, including Shyra & Rye Barberstock of Okhawo Equal Source for guiding us through this process. The Indigenous Voices Fund is made possible through a generous $30,000 multi-year donation ($10,000 per year for three years) from a local resident committed to advancing our community’s reconciliation efforts and inclusion of Indigenous voices.
