O’Mastewin Foster

O’mastewin (O’ma) Foster (she/they) – “First Day of Light Woman” – is of the Blackfeet Nation, Assiniboine and Dakota Peoples of Fort Peck. In May 2025, O’Ma earned her Bachelor’s degree in Media Arts with a concentration in Digital Filmmaking, alongside a certificate in Business Entertainment Management. Their creative practice is grounded in data-based storytelling shaped both by their lived experiences and Indigenous/colonial histories.

O’ma approaches narrative as both a powerful tool for recentering truth within historically oppressed communities and, when mishandled, a mechanism of erasure through technology and delivery systems. Her passion for entertainment is guided by her background in storytelling, cultural preservation, repatriation, sovereignty, activism, advocacy and prevention. They are committed to building liberated infrastructure and infostructure, centering Black, Indigenous and People of Color across all industries.

O’mastewin’s academic journey continues as a Master’s student of Media Arts, Entrepreneurship and Museum Studies in academic research and creative practice from a culturally-influenced background. She hopes to continue to use her specialities, and lived experiences in foster care, to elevate Indigenous Peoples – especially youth – in whatever way possible.
