Are you a Native American actor, writer, producer or director?

We wanted to make you aware of the only network-sponsored active website and searchable database created for Native American actors, comics, models, singers, writers and directors to post their headshots, resumes and demo reels.

This site will provide a much-needed tool to be used by casting directors, talent agents, producers, and directors who are looking for Native American talent. The website also includes news and current events that relate to the Native American community and a place for job postings both in-front of and behind the camera. The website is sponsored by NBC Entertainment and the Oneida Indian Nation.
