What We Offer

What We Bring to
Your Community

Every Tribe of One project is built to serve the community and the story you want to share. Your students, your elders, and your knowledge keepers provide everything that matters.

Flagship Program

Songwriting & Recording Residencies

Our flagship program. We spend a week at your school, working with students across grade levels to write and record an original song from scratch. Students contribute lyrics, melody ideas, and the stories they want to tell. We guide the process, arrange the music, and record a professional-quality track in whatever space is available.

If your community has an elder or language keeper who wants to be involved, we build the project around that relationship. Traditional language, cultural teachings, and local stories are always welcome in the room.

What your school receives at the end of the week:

A professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered original song
A professional music video filmed during the residency
Full rights to use the song in perpetuity
A YouTube-ready version for your school or community channel

Documentary & Language Resources

Video Production

We produce documentaries, language resource videos, on-the-land projects, cultural teaching videos, and community event coverage. And wherever possible, we put students behind the camera.

Professional gear doesn't have to mean complicated gear. We use equipment that is broadcast-quality and intentionally simple to operate, so students can film, direct, and tell their own story without spending the week learning buttons.

Recent projects include a student-filmed fisheries defence documentary, Lyrics From the Land featuring three Dene girls and a traditional Dene Yatie language elder recording an original song, and an inspiring Kaska school anthem created in a remote community on the border of BC and the Yukon.

Long-Form Engagement

Creative Mentorship Programs

For schools and communities that want more than a single project, our mentorship programs build lasting skills over multiple visits or a longer engagement. Students learn music composition, audio recording, video editing, scriptwriting, and digital storytelling.

The goal isn't to produce content for content's sake. The goal is to give young people the tools to tell their own stories, in their own voice, long after we've left.
