NCM PROJECTS

RF Blog – 01/2025

Blogging is about reaching out to like-minded people who are looking for more connection than a 280 character post can offer. It’s a discussion without having to give up the privacy of your personal identity, your home, your family, or location. In today’s fast-paced world, human connection is more important than ever but so is whatever’s left of our private life. Building a safe space for any community is the foundation of trust, belonging, support, and shared purpose. When people have that, it fosters the exchange of ideas, collaboration and sharing of goals. A thriving community fosters a sense of well-being and can enrich our lives in countless ways.

Wisdom

When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.
– Alanis Obomsawin

Reminders

If the legends fall silent, who will teach the children of our ways?

– Chief Dan George

Critical Thinking

Community is an imagined thing. And if your imagination isn’t working – and, of course, in oppressed people that’s the first thing that goes – you can’t imagine anything better. Once you can imagine something different, something better, then you’re on your way.
– Lee Maracle

Objective

The Art of First Nations storytelling is a constantly evolving environment. It takes on many forms and requires unique methods of expression. Filmmaking is only one of these methods. An important goal of Nakota Creative Media is to promote projects created by local Indigenous filmmakers and the community by providing sustainable media solutions. “NCM” is dedicated to building the online presence of Indigenous arts content while observing required protocol and preserving the Intellectual Property of its First Nations, Metis, and Inuit clients.

About the Founder

Nakota Creative Media’s founder, Shasha (Sasha) McArthur is a Nakota and Nehiyaw 2S woman from Southern Saskatchewan. An Indian Day School attendee and a foster care resident until she aged out of the system, she never thought in her wildest dreams that she’d be where she is now.
Challenging herself, Shasha accepted an opportunity to study Indigenous Digital Filmmaking, then Motion Picture Arts and Producing at Capilano University. Her education continues with credentials from IM4 Lab, Emily Carr University, Poeta Digi Spark and the First Nations Technology Council. A two-spirit, neurodivergent with an adventurer’s soul Shasha finds creating her projects within the Unreal Engine environment allows her more flexibility and time to develop her ideas. Inspired by Unreal Engine’s utilities and community Shasha is now training toward an Unreal Engine Instructor’s credential.
