Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day to recognize the history, heritage, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and M\u00e9tis peoples.<\/p>\n

Stocksy acknowledges that our co-op was founded on the traditional unceded territories of the Coast Salish people, including the L\u0259k\u0313\u02b7\u0259\u014b\u0259n and W\u0331S\u00c1NE\u0106 peoples. With members across 83 countries, we also recognize our role as a global community in a multitude of ancestral nations.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\n
<\/div>\n
\n\n \n

We embrace the responsibility as a platform, community, and collection to challenge ourselves and others to examine our perpetuation of colonialism and systems of oppression as a critical part of social progress.<\/p>\n

Part of that responsibility includes acknowledging our own shortcomings and desires to amend them. We actively work towards a more diverse and authentically represented collection, but we also recognize where it has ample room for growth.<\/p>\n

Indigenous artists are underrepresented in our Contributor base. We currently don\u2019t collect identity-based data from our members but we are working on solutions for this as is creates some limitations for sharing the statistics of our member base. What we can share for now is that Indigenous representation \u2014 both in front of and behind the lens \u2014 is lower than we would like.<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n

There is a lack of Indigenous representation in most stock imagery available across our industry, and we would love to see that shift media-wide. We are continuously working on and improving our outbound recruitment initiative to individually reach out to Indigenous photographers, filmmakers, and illustrators. We are making progress, albeit sometimes slower than we would like. That brings us to where, together, we may be able to achieve a more representative stock media landscape and support more Indigenous creators.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d love to see more creator applications. We humbly invite creators of the Indigenous, M\u00e9tis, and First Nations communities to apply to join the Stocksy community<\/a> of contributing artists.<\/p>\n

Get more info on what being a Contributor and Stocksy co-op co-owner means and how to apply here<\/a>. We\u2019re not necessarily looking for seasoned artists or creators with years of industry experience to apply. We look for inspired work, authentic perspectives, and fresh ideas. Also, please tell your communities and colleagues about the opportunity to create meaningful work and be compensated fairly and respectfully.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in learning more about representation in stock media and our stance on our practices, strategies, and responsibilities, you can access Stocksy\u2019s content policy here<\/a>. And if you\u2019re unsure whether the community is for you and whether or not our values align, access our brand values here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We continue to do the work to fulfill our role in enabling the entire creative class to execute \u2014 without compromise \u2014 meaningful, forward-thinking work that drives social progress, and we are thankful to have the privilege to do so.<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n
