Reel Youth in Lytton with Nlaka'pamux Tribal Council's ShchEma-mee.tkt project

In the summer of 2013, the Nlaka'pamux Tribal Council, as part of the ShchEma-mee.tkt project, brought Reel Youth to Lytton, BC for a third program in the community. Reel Youth staff included award-winning indigenous musician Kinnie Starr, audio engineers and film makers. Over the course of five days, participants learned how to write songs, produce beats, record audio tracks, shoot films and edit both audio and video. And while they were at it, they also made some animated films about preserving their culture, the importance of family, and rights and freedoms.

In the fall of 2012, the Nlaka'pamux Tribal Council, as part of the ShchEma-mee.tkt project, brought Reel Youth to Lytton, BC. The partnership started with a video production training for adult community members, who then joined the Reel Youth team to provide a video production program for local youth. Three sets of film making and post-production equipment were left in the community, as well as a full sound studio.
