How To Support Our Work

Make A Contribution

All the money raised by our Drawing Wisdom Films For Dialogue event will be put into the development of educational tools led by our Podcast host and Founder Jada-Gabrielle Pape, wu’Was’ulwat, of the Snuneymuxw and Saanich Nations. We are looking to raise $10,000  to support the development of Indigenous-led curricula to address the many issues we face with colonialism as their root cause, specifically addressing the TRC Calls to Action 10 and 12.

Hire us

We are available to do film production and a full range of creative services. By hiring us for your project you directly support the Drawing Wisdom ‘big picture’ and support our principles of reciprocal ownership over what we co-create.

Become an ally or partner

This could mean being listed on our website as a supporter/ally, or you could actively support us in applying for funding to flow-through for the work we are doing.

Drawing Wisdom Art Cards

Support the fundraising campaign by buying beautiful art cards with land or medicine themed photos.

“Drawing Wisdom furthers a culturally relevant and safe approach to creative wellbeing projects. Putting cultural safety first, means witnessing, honouring and sharing the pride that comes from traditional ways of knowing.”
