Description
The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to produce short animated videos in the tribal language for use in Tribal Head Start Classrooms. The project consists of two phases: Phase 1 will include the production of twenty videos that feature vocabulary in existing Head Start lessons, and Phase 2 will include the production of 10-15 2-3 minute animated videos that follow a stable set of characters through simple narrative structures. The successful submitter will work with Tribal language staff to develop character animation, background, and story scripts. CTSI staff/community members will provide all audio recordings for both phases of the project. The project must be completed by June 15, 2027.
Key points to consider:
• Proven experience in developing short animated videos
• Ability to provide illustrations and animations that will be familiar to tribal Head Start students and the larger Siletz tribal community
• Cost estimates for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project
• Indian preference will be given to qualified entities documenting 51% or more ownership of a business entity by an enrolled Native American/Tribe
