Storytelling Part 1

Join KSU Tribal TAB and Partners for the Digital Indigenous Storytelling virtual workshop, the first of the 2021 Tribal Resilience & Indigenous Planning Virtual Workshop Series. Building on and expanding upon the information covered in the 2020 Tribal Resilience & Indigenous Planning Storytelling series (recording can be found at here), this workshop will include a detailed exploration of the Five Beats of Indigenous Storytelling, learning how to relate place to narrative, and understanding how better to explain your place and the story of your place. Participants will gain hands-on experience documenting and telling their own account using digital platforms and an understanding of how this may be applied to competitive brownfields grant proposals.
