Our Work | Wings With Wayne
Big Questions. Hot Wings. Native Voices.
Project Overview
Challenge: Create entertaining content without losing sight of core themes around Native leadership and sovereignty.
Our Solution: We helped launch Wings With Wayne, a video series that blends humor, heat, and heartfelt conversation. Inspired by the Hot Ones format, each episode features NGC Executive Director Wayne Ducheneaux sharing wings and dialogue with Native leaders, changemakers, and celebrities.
