Welcome to Our Storytellers
What We Do
In each episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with remarkable Indigenous elders, knowledge keepers, activists, artists, and everyday community members. Through their stories, we gain unique insights into the traditions, values, and spiritual practices that have been passed down through generations.
Our Vision
We believe in the power of oral tradition to bridge gaps between cultures and generations. Our goal is to amplify Indigenous voices, preserve their invaluable narratives, and promote cultural sensitivity and respect. Through the art of storytelling, we aim to create a space where Indigenous wisdom shines brightly.
