Who we are

Rooted in land, carried through story

The Raven Collective is a non-profit arts society dedicated to the creation, production, and celebration of Indigenous art across the Canadian Pacific Northwest. We support artists from Coast Salish, Haida, Tsimshian, Kwakwaka’wakw, Nisga’a, and neighbouring nations — at every stage of their creative journey.

Some works explore themes of residential schools and intergenerational trauma. Content warnings are provided for all productions.
