 Founder and CEO of the Aboriginal Multi-Media Association
Bert Crowfoot is founder and CEO of the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society (AMMSA). AMMSA is a communications society dedicated to serving the needs of Aboriginal people throughout Canada. He is also CEO of Windspeaker, Canada’s National Aboriginal newspaper.
Bert established Alberta’s first Aboriginal radio station, CFWE-FM, and participated in the transformation of communications for Aboriginal people beginning in the late 1970s.
In 2006, Bert became an inductee of the Dreamspeakers Festival Society’s Walk of Honour, Communications and Multi-media Category. The Walk of Honour was created as a tribute to Aboriginal artists who have blazed trails in the film industry, and to recognize efforts at bringing a new understanding to the varied cultures, traditions, languages and artistic expressions of Aboriginal People in Canada.
Bert is half Blackfoot from the Siksika Reserve in southern Alberta and half Saulteaux/Ojibway from the Keys Reserve near Kampsack, Saskatchewan. He was born in Gleichen, Alberta. He attended Brigham Young University, majoring in physical education and recreation.
