Brief Overview
The Indigenous Cultural Connections program (previously the Indigenous Artist Microgrant) provides one-time funding to First Nation, Métis and Inuit individual artists and artist collectives living and working in the Treaty 7 region working on the preservation, maintenance and revival of Indigenous culture, traditions or forms.
The program supports projects related to the crafting and creation of regalia and projects related to traditional methods and forms, including mentorship, training and knowledge sharing.
