We want to help boost Indigenous creators and voices so we’ve compiled a list. If there are creators missing that you think should be added, this is a live list and we would love to make sure it’s as accurate as possible. Send an email to info@creatorresource.com with the name of the creator, whether or not they’re a cartoonist, artist, writer, etc. and a link to web site or social media (if you have it).
For additional links and resources, please see the end of the article.
