Trevor Mack

Vancouver, BC

Trevor Mack, a Tsilhqot’in filmmaker and cultural advocate, has dedicated his life to empowering Indigenous youth through storytelling, cultural revitalization, and community building. His debut feature, Portraits from a Fire, highlights the lived experiences of Indigenous youth while offering a message of healing and hope. Every project he undertakes—filmed on Tsilhqot’in land with Tsilhqot’in actors—centers Indigenous voices and traditions. With his wife, Valeria Cazorla Mack, Trevor co-founded the Tletinqox International Cultural Garden Centre to engage youth in traditional building, food growing, and cultural exchange with Indigenous communities in Mexico. Together, they lead food sovereignty efforts in Tl’etinqox—growing free, organic produce and teaching food security—and founded NENQAYNI, a not-for-profit supporting cultural exchange and community healing. Trevor also led the Dasiqox Tribal Park’s Back on the Land initiative, a program where youth persevere through mountain treks and camp together to learn drumming, art, and medicine gathering. Respected for his mentorship and resilience, Trevor continues to uplift Indigenous youth, celebrate Tsilhqot’in identity, and forge new paths grounded in tradition and pride. Most recently, he was elected as the youngest Councillor in his community and one of the youngest across the Tsilhqot’in Nation—furthering his leadership and lifelong commitment to service.
