About

Trevor Mack is a Tŝilhqot’in filmmaker, cultural guide, and community leader whose work bridges ecological stewardship, Indigenous food sovereignty, and cinematic storytelling. His permaculture pathway includes formal training in Permaculture Design at Rancho Mastatal in Costa Rica, Indigenous Agriculture at Tea Creek Farms in British Columbia, and advanced eco-technology, agroecology, and bio-intensive cultivation studies at the renowned Las Cañadas Permaculture Centre in Mexico.

He has translated this training into hands-on applications as Community Garden Manager and Advisor for the Tl’etinqox International Cultural Garden Centre, where he led a team to harvest over 1,000 lbs of food, facilitated youth agricultural workshops, and supported the development of Indigenous Food Sovereignty policy and community visions.
