Indigenous Saskatchewan TikTokers Selected to Be Part of Platform’s Program | The Canadian News

Three Saskatchewan residents have been selected to participate in the first TikTok accelerator for indigenous creators.

A total of 30 creators from across Canada were selected.

Designed with traditional elements, the curriculum provides personalized skills-based education sessions covering TikTok browsing, technical training, professional training, and digital well-being.

It also offers hands-on exercises and opportunities to connect with industry experts and professional peers.

The program began with a sharing circle led by Elder Allen Sutherland and online courses in November.

Local TikTok creator Kesha Tipewan said her videos focus on one particular aspect, based on what she has knowledge of and what she went to school on.

“On my platform, I create content based on trauma healing,” Tipewan said. “I’m more on the mental health side of indigenous TikTok videos.”

Along with Tipewan, Brayden Lidguerre and Shania Morin were also chosen to participate in the six-week program.
