ISO Statement on Community Consultation for Indigenous Identity Policy Direction

(January 19, 2021) The Indigenous Screen Office (ISO) will undertake a community engagement process in 2021 regarding Indigenous identity that will inform future policy directions. The process will begin over the next two months beginning with conversations with Elders and Indigenous organizations with knowledge and expertise in this area and will extend into the summer with broader consultations.

This is a nuanced issue that requires time to listen to the many different community perspectives. The ISO has a number of mechanisms already in place to vet Indigenous identity and we have always understood that this is an evolving process that will require continued dialogue with community members and more robust policy development as our organization grows. We accept our responsibility in taking a leadership role for the sector on this important issue through this process. We will work with Indigenous facilitators and consultants on the engagement and reporting, which will inform future ISO policies and advocacy.

Our goal is to have a set of new policies in place before our next anticipated round of funding in Fall 2021. In order to ensure the integrity of the consultation process, we will not take a position on what those policies may be until we have completed our engagement. We will continue to work with our partners and communities to share our current practices and we continue to stand by the statement issued on this subject in December.    https://iso-bea.ca/iso-statement-regarding-indigenous-identity/

#JusticeForColten Day Of Action: February 9, 2021 #JusticeForColten Day Of Action: February 9, 2021

February 9th, 2021 is the three-year anniversary of the acquittal of Gerald Stanley. This year, it was also the scheduled date of the sentencing hearing for Brayden Bushby, convicted of manslaughter for the murder of Barbara Kentner. The hearing will include victim impact statements from the Kentner family, as well as submissions from the Crown and defense. 

The sentencing date has been changed to February 17. We extend our strength and support to Barbara Kentner’s family as they continue to grieve the loss of their family member while also navigating the colonial legal procedures. We continue to mourn the loss of our beloved Colten and will not stop fighting to break down the barriers that the canadian legal systems present to Indigenous peoples and families seeking justice for their loved ones.

Join on FACEBOOK LIVE at this link: @WeWillStandUpfilm between 4:00pm-6:30pm MST for two panel discussions reflecting on the legacy of this date. This is a public event and we encourage anyone to join.
