Documentation of Ancestry:
Indigenous identities are complex, and requirements for each community can be equally complex. You do not have to be enrolled in a federally recognized Tribe to apply to this roster, however we are asking everyone to provide some proof of Indigenous ancestry.
Examples of accepted documentation include a Tribal ID card, a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood, a letter from a Tribe verifying citizenship or descendancy, and/or genealogical research linking you back to a Tribal member. Personal narratives and DNA tests alone cannot be accepted. We are available to discuss this process further if you'd like to propose alternative ways of proving Indigenous ancestry not listed above.

I have read and agree to the Protocols for Community Care
yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective is a community of Indigenous artists guided by ancestral teachings shared across Turtle Island. We believe communal and individual wellbeing are interconnected. Right relationship with the land depends on respect for Indigenous bodies. It is our shared responsibility to protect the personal sovereignty of women, youth, Elders, Two Spirit people, and all our relatives.

We ask that our community members hold each other with care. yəhaw̓ cares for all Native people while recognizing that all Native people are capable of harm, and healing. Together, we hope to create sacred spaces where we can reconnect with each other, our ancestors, and the land.

I agree
