About TikTok Accelerator for Indigenous Creators

TikTok Accelerator for Indigenous Creators is designed to empower Indigenous content creators to succeed on TikTok and within the creative media industries through skills-based education sessions, hands-on exercises and connections with professional industry experts and peers. The curriculum is designed with traditional and spiritual elements.

Training is part-time: two to three 90-minute online sessions per week spread over six weeks on topics such as:

  • Navigating TikTok (social presence, usage, audience engagement, trends, analytics and best practices)

  • Technical training (essential filmmaking techniques, content creation, lighting, editing and effects)

  • Media career building (personal branding, collaborations with brands and other creators, discovering your niche, goal setting and motivational coaching)

  • Social responsibility and digital wellness (community management, safety and handling negativity)

This program was developed by the National Screen Institute and TikTok Canada with curriculum guidance from Indigenous content creator Sherry Mckay (@sherry.mckay), and filmmakers Justina Neepin (@justinaneepin) and Roger Boyer.
