Taking a different road to subscription video-on-demand is Amerind Media Group which has launched NativeFlix.

NativeFlix aims to be “the netflix for Indigenous peoples content.”

From the About Us page:

“NativeFlix is designed to be an effective vehicle for social change, helping to expand consciousness about Indigenous People, their stories, cultures and histories, environmental concerns, spirituality, and much more. More importantly, our primary goal is to provide the most compelling and entertaining content available. NativeFlix is a unique streaming media service offered by Amerind Media Group, a media content aggregator owned and operated by Indigenous filmmakers based in Hollywood, CA. Our library includes critically acclaimed feature films, television series, and documentaries about Indigenous people from around the World.”

The monthly fee is $5.99 per month and services both Canada and the U.S.

My take: While I applaud the intention, I wonder how NativeFlix will draw attention to its venture. The rules of supply and demand will dictate whether it succeeds economically. Artistically and politically, it’s already a winner in my eyes.
