Tell your story

We take education to mean the lifelong learning that is essential not only for us to grow as individuals, but collectively, as a Tribe. It is necessary for our survival and well-being that we take time to nurture an understanding of our traditional ways within the future generations. We are also no stranger to the construct of "education" and Our People have been subject to assimilation and colonization through these means. Stories in this category will focus on how we share knowledge with one another, have survived institutions designed to eradicate us and how we have advanced collectively through the power of information.

These stories may be edited, published and shared.

Tell your story
Tips for telling a great story
  • Tell your story as if you were talking to a friend or a relative. Make it personal.
  • Add photos! It is best if the first photo you add is a nice image of yourself so that people can see you as they listen to or read your story.
Tips for audio recording
  • You can re-record as many times as you want. Take a couple of practice runs until it feels more natural talking into your computer.
  • Try not to use a pre-written script so that your story sounds as natural as possible. It is ok if it is not perfect.
  • Try to speak as clearly as possible, and get as close to the microphone as you can.
  • Try to find a quiet place with no background noise. It is even better if the room has carpet. This will reduce the amount of echo on the recording.
