Our Culture

Authentic Storytelling
We are a Lakota-owned and operated media agency dedicated to the art of storytelling. We firmly believe that the stories of people of color should be authentically represented and shared by other people of color. It is through these stories that we connect, inspire, and empower our communities.

Uplifting our Ancestral Ways of Life
As the original storytellers, we proudly carry the responsibility of preserving and sharing our wisdom within our Native ways of life. Our commitment is to honor these genuine narratives, highlighting the connection between the past, present, and future. By doing so, we show up strong in our identity as Indigenous creators and storytellers.
-
Cultural Identity as a Guiding Force
We firmly believe that when individuals are strong in their cultural identity, they radiate strength and guidance in every aspect of their lives. By fostering a nurturing environment that respects and values diverse identities, we empower our team to bring their unique perspectives and talents to the forefront of our work.

Indigenous Creators, Amplifying Indigenous Voices
We understand that the most authentic representation of stories comes from within our communities. Konekted Media is dedicated to supporting creators, providing them with a platform to amplify their voices and share their stories. By hiring us as the creative storytellers, filmmakers, artists, and journalists, you are supporting Indigenous creators who have historically been left out of the media realm in storytelling.
Why choose Konekted Media?
Through our storytelling and media initiatives, we aim to shed light on social challenges and advocate for solutions. We use our platform to raise awareness about issues such as land rights, education, cultural preservation, health disparities, language revitalization, environmental justice, and Indigenous wealth. By sharing authentic narratives and engaging with these issues, we strive to amplify the voices of our Indigenous relatives who are the driving force behind the work.
Beyond the Camera
Our mission extends beyond media production and marketing. We actively collaborate with Indigenous communities, organizations, and experts to address the social issues we highlight. We leverage our network and resources to support grassroots initiatives, provide a platform for marginalized voices, and advocate for policy changes that positively impact Indigenous communities.
