The Mission
Kotawân Media exists to amplify Indigenous voices, opportunities, and reconciliation through visual storytelling. Founded in 2021 by Tyler and situated on Quw’utsun territory in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, Kotawân has grown into a small, dedicated group of creatives, business people, and communicators who share a joy in finding the truth and empathy in all our projects.
Kotawân (ᑯᑕᐋᐧᐣ) means “campfire” in Nîhiyawîwin (Plains Cree).
While the campfire is essential to the Nîhiyawîwin people because it provides warmth and safety, it is also a place to tell stories, teach lessons, and share cultural values, which we derive our purpose from.
