Crushing Colonialism was founded and operated by Indigenous people working in a variety of storytelling fields across the world. We work to increase the pay and employment of Indigenous storytellers while also promoting their work, providing funding for media and arts projects, and increasing access to professional representation.
Crushing Colonialism’s mission is to uplift and tell the stories of Indigenous people through media and traditional storytelling. We produce international reporting and organizing to inform and empower marginalized community members, create professional opportunities, and advocate for the just funding and employment of Native artists, media workers and storytellers. In doing this we control our narratives in order to crush colonialism.
When I think of Crushing Colonialism, I think of “inclusive knowledge exchange”. Crushing Colonialism provides information, creates safe spaces for the global majority who are often “minioritzed” and underserved, challenging inferior thinking and pushing society to see and embrace those it has often overlooked and ignored while allowing the voiceless to be heard and celebrated.
“Crushing Colonialism is making such important waves in Indigenous & disabled spaces. Everything from their outward facing media and arts efforts with The Magazine and Decolonized Beats to their Hire Indigenous employment endeavors, CC is dedicated to telling and amplifying Native folks’ stories and skills in a way that is so needed and valuable.“
We’re In This Together
