Natives in Charge of Their Narrative

Today we find that most American Indian films made before 1950 are lost forever and during the silent era native films made need to be restored and preserved.

RNCI Language, Cultural & Film Initiative supports “hands-on” preservation and restoration to ensure that these films – these works of art, historical records, and essential representations of our native culture – will survive for future generations.

Red Nation Celebration Institute is actively restoring Native Cinema through its RNCI Language, Cultural & Film Initiative. A full list of American Indian & Indigenous Indie films that are currently being restored, to be listed 2023!

Mission Driven

We are the longest standing Native women-led, Indigenous media, arts and cultural nonprofit enterprise in the City of Los Angeles, since 1995 serving Indian Country and the entertainment industry. RNCI mission replaces racist, erasive American Indian stereotypes with recognition, new vision, arts, culture and economic prosperity by placing American Indian & Indigenous Filmmakers at the forefront of the entertainment industry while amplifying cinematic excellence with an emphasis on initiatives for Native women, girls, and youth.

Natives in Charge of Their Narrative

Creating systemic change through the arts and media. Storytelling is what we do. We have increased the visibility of American Indian & Indigenous filmmakers and communities through our ground-breaking year round programs, initiatives, events in creating content with the revitalized vision of our own narrative as contemporary people. We work in a variety of media platforms and educational institutions, in conjunction with partners from around the world.

Legacy of Excellence

RNCI’s legacy is rich with cultural excellence. Our leadership actively implements a vision for the future of cinema: one in which American Indian perspectives are authentically pictured, recognized, and valued in a way that promotes strong Native identities, economic outcomes, equity, and wellness for our communities. We deliver increased representation of Native peoples in popular culture, both in front and behind the camera with our Film Festivals, RNCI Crew, a Native Studies Center at USC and Red Nation Television Network the first media streaming company, predating Netflix and others.
