About 3 Crows Productions

Dallas Yellowfly is a member of the Siksika First Nation. In his earliest years Yellowfly lived on his ancestral territories in Calgary, AB but spent most of his childhood on Coast Salish territories in Chilliwack, BC. Growing up on and off reserve amongst Coast Salish family he felt that he was living in two different worlds that coexisted. After completing a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of the Fraser Valley Yellowfly’s career path began as an Indigenous Youth Care Worker in the Abbotsford School District. He noticed the two worlds he experienced as a youth seemed prominent in his work in education. Finally, after years of witnessing Indigenous youth affected by the inequities inherent in the education system he tried to bridge the gap in knowledge by sharing stories and Indigenous perspectives in classrooms. His work as a Youth Care Worker transformed into a full time presenter in the district. This inspired him to create unique storytelling presentations for education. In 2010 Yellowfly founded 3 Crows Productions blending his experience in music, stand up comedy, storytelling and filmmaking to make theatrical storytelling performances and unique documentary films. It wasn't until 2017 that he officially left the safety of his position in schools and began working for himself.
