« The International Indigenous Festival celebrates Indigenous cultures from Canada and around the world. Planned for Summer 2015 in Ottawa, organizers are currently seeking speakers, educators, writers, performers, artists, art historians, comedians, etc. from First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities, as well as New Zealand Maori communities here in Canada.

IIF is also looking for hard working volunteers that would be willing to help out with planning and executing fundraisers, grant writing, promotion of the festival, and variable initiatives leading up to the festival as well as other duties during the festival. If you would like to be a part of the team, send an email with why you are interested in helping out and what assets you might be able to offer. Please share this with your networks and anyone you think would be interested in being a part of IIF. »
