Kin Theory is an Indigenous media maker database designed to showcase and uplift Indigenous media creators while creating community and opportunity for industry connections. The overall goal of Kin Theory is to connect Indigenous media makers with each other, with diverse non-Indigenous media makers, and with industry partners for networking, hiring, mentoring, funding, and more.

Kin Theory is an initiative of Nia Tero, a global nonprofit based in Seattle, Washington, USA that works in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples who sustain thriving territories and cultures to strengthen guardianship of Earth and all beings.

The Kin Theory website welcomes Indigenous media makers (and those who want to partner with or hire them) into the Kin Theory family. Kin Theory shares resources and opportunities with the Kin Theory community and uplifts other global majority media maker databases and networks through email communication.

In addition to creating a space for community and opportunity online, the Kin Theory team produces a robust series of in-person and virtual events featuring partners within and outside of the film industry. The goal of these events is to build awareness around Indigenous representation in media, center Indigenous and BIPOC solidarity, celebrate climate storytelling, empower land guardians, and hold space for accomplishments and future dreaming.
