To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my support for the Dreamlines project. As the Squamish Valley Councillor for the Squamish Nation, I recognize the importance of initiatives that preserve our cultural heritage and empower our community.

Dreamlines is an innovative digital storytelling project that leverages AI technology to create immersive experiences. Led by Jonny Williams, Delmar Joseph, and Kris Krüg, this project provides a valuable platform for Indigenous artists to share their narratives and explore their identities.

By promoting Indigenous voices and ensuring our stories are told from our own perspectives, Dreamlines fosters cultural preservation and self-determination. With the rapid advancement of AI technology, it is crucial to undertake this project now to capture and preserve our rich cultural heritage in a modern and impactful way.

I wholeheartedly endorse Dreamlines and urge you to support this important project. The funding and resources provided will enable its successful development and production, contributing to the revitalization of our cultural heritage.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Joyce Williams

Squamish Valley Councillor
