Let’s Uphold Indigenous Arts Together!

Since 1982, Native Earth Performing Arts has championed Indigenous creativity across Canada. By supporting emerging and established artists, we sustain a legacy of storytelling that honors ancestral knowledge perspectives. Your contribution fuels new theatre productions, dance performances, and cultural programs in Aki Studio at Daniels Spectrum. Join our circle of allies to ensure vibrant Indigenous voices powerfully resonate stage—together, we cultivate resilience, foster understanding, and celebrate artistic sovereignty.

Every Dollar Matters

Every dollar you give directly supports Indigenous creators by fueling new art, nurturing talent, and bringing stories to life on stage. Contributions help cover essential expenses—scripts, workshops, production costs, artist fees, and festival programming. Weesageechak Begins to Dance unites Indigenous artists from local, national, and international communities, incubating works seen across Canada and beyond. Your gift ensures this festival and continuous artistic growth remain strong.

Since 1982, Native Earth has nurtured generations of Indigenous artists. Your legacy gift can help ensure this vital work continues for decades to come.

A legacy gift—such as a bequest in your will or naming Native Earth as a beneficiary—lets you support the future of Indigenous theatre while maintaining control of your assets during your lifetime. It may also offer tax benefits for you and your heirs.

We’re happy to speak with you and your family about legacy options that align with your goals.
