The Golden Sheaf Award for best Indigenous production is presented by the Yorkton Film Festival.

History[]

In 1947 the Yorkton Film Council was founded.[1]: 6  The first Yorkton Film Festival was held in 1950[2] During the first few festivals, the films were adjudicated by audience participation through ballot casting and winners were awarded Certificates of Merit by the film council.[3][4] In 1958 the film council established the Yorkton Film Festival Golden Sheaf Award for Best of Festival, awarded to the best overall film of the festival.[5] Over the years various additional categories were added to the competition. As of 2020, the Golden Sheaf Award categories included: Main Entry Categories, Accompanying Categories, Craft Categories, and Special Awards.[6]

The category was first introduced in 2004 under the Aboriginal name, and was renamed to Indigenous in 2018.

The winner of this award is determined by a panel of jurors,[7] selected by the film council. The submission rules specify that productions can either be fiction or non-fiction and need to "explore issues related to indigenous peoples, tell indigenous stories or present indigenous perspectives..." among additional criteria.[8]
