Mission

To uplift and tell the stories of Indigenous people

Crushing Colonialism’s mission is to uplift and tell the stories of Indigenous people through media and traditional storytelling. We produce international reporting and organizing to inform and empower marginalized community members, create professional opportunities, and advocate for the just funding and employment of Native artists, media workers and storytellers. In doing this we control our narratives in order to crush colonialism.

“Crushing Colonialism is a much needed organization that centers Indigenous storytelling in a variety of formats and mediums. Indigenous people are creating their own media in the face of erasure and marginalization and everyone should pay attention.”

When I think of Crushing Colonialism, I think of “inclusive knowledge exchange”.  Crushing Colonialism provides information, creates safe spaces for the global majority who are often “minioritzed” and underserved, challenging inferior thinking and pushing society to see and embrace those it has often overlooked and ignored while allowing the voiceless to be heard and celebrated.
