TikTok Canada acknowledges and celebrates Indigenous Peoples' traditional and contemporary roots to their lands, and we are grateful to share this space. We thank Indigenous creators, artists and small business owners for being a part of the TikTok community, and for trusting our platform as a space to share your stories, your knowledge, your culture and your joy.

Earlier this year, we announced the fourth edition of our TikTok Accelerator for Indigenous Creators, Presented by the National Screen Institute. The program offers free, online, part-time sessions over six weeks, developed with both traditional and spiritual elements in mind and designed to empower Indigenous creators to grow their online presence and learn the essential skills for a thriving digital career.

As we prepared for our largest creator cohort yet, once again, this year has seen record applications. Today, we're excited to share that an independent selection committee of Indigenous screen industry professionals, TikTok staff and Indigenous TikTok creators have selected 300 participants from nearly every province and territory in Canada, from coast-to-coast-to-coast.

The program is led by returning program advisor Sherry Mckay (@sherry.mckay), an Ojibway Anishinabe creator from Treaty 1 Territory, as well as program managers Sarah Simpson-Yellowquill, a filmmaker from Treaty 1 Territory, of Long Plain First Nation, and Danielle Audette, a Red River Métis-Francophone production manager with over 25 years experience in production management across the entertainment industry in Canada.

As TikTok Canada continues our commitment to supporting First Nations, Inuit and Métis storytellers, we are excited see the program kicking off today with this year's participants - our largest participant group for this Accelerator, to-date.

Congratulations to the 2024 participants, some of whom are listed below.
