OUR COLLECTIVE
STORY DIGITIZING THE INDIGENOUS NARRATIVE BY NIYA DEGROAT - DINÉ, AIGC ALUMNUS
Indigenous peoples have always been storytellers: from ancient petroglyphs to the social media-driven, grassroots reporting of the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protests in Standing Rock. For many Indigenous communities, oral tradition serves as the vehicle to pass on cultural knowledge and history from one generation to the next – storytelling is embedded in the land, in our songs and prayers and in our dances.
