We encourage you to self-identify in the recruitment process.
Key activities:
NAC Indigenous Theatre: Our stories are medicine. The Indigenous Theatre Department at the NAC
nurtures, develops and showcases Indigenous stories at the NAC and in communities all over Canada.
Our mission is to honour our storytellers and thereby aid in the retention, resurgence and resilience of the multiple and diverse Indigenous cultures of this land.
