Entertainment and Media
NMTN/Fox Summer Institute
Fox Entertainment Group began working with NMTN in 2000 when it launched the American Indian Summer Program. This one-week residential program brings up to 20 American Indian youth between the ages of 18 and 25 to Los Angeles for tutorials and experiential learning opportunities in the business aspects of the media and entertainment industry as well as in creative production. Now six years old, the American Indian Summer Institute becomes one component of a vastly expanded business partnership between NMTN and Fox.
In order to increase the talent pool of those most severely under-represented at FOX (and the industry as a whole), the Diversity Development designed this residential immersion program (the first of its kind) in 2002 and partnered with UCLA in its launch in that same year.
In 4 Years, 57 American Indian youth participated from 16 tribes across the United States including Alaska.
Native Media Pathway
MIGIZI Communications, a NACDI partner, continues to develop methods and opportunities to strengthen capacity and interest among American Indian youth in the area of Media and Technology. Central to this work is the development of a partnership driven media training pathway that works with young people interested in careers and opportunties within media industries.
