Ticci Man Project - Nonprofit
Native Media And Film
Scholarship Program
There is a shortage of Native peoples in mainstream media, whether in front
of, or behind the camera---we want to help change that.
One component of the Ticci Man Project is the scholarship fund to benefit
Native peoples of the US and Canada. Applicants will enjoy full training and
living assistance, including working on major films or shows as part of the comprehensive
access and learning program.
The goal is to open up opportunities for NAs in the mainstream media and film
industry toward giving them a greater voice and avenue of expression, much like what
has already been achieved for Blacks in America.
TMP will be partnering up with one existing foundation to help
administer this important project.
TMP will be donating a percentage of its net profits to this worthy project
and will encourage others in the film and television industry to do the same.
*Terminology We
use the term Native People (NP) in the purely anthropological sense to
denote "aboriginal people of the world, which includes a
wide variety of self-descriptive nomenclatures, including Canada's First Nations
People, Native Americans, and many others of the American continents and Pacific Island
groups and places of the world. When
more specific descriptions are used, they will include current country of origin
or commonly known tribal names (i.e. Mohawks of the Bay of
Quinte, Dine, etc.). |
