Storytelling has always been an important tradition for Indigenous people. And modern personal technology provides a means to share that tradition more broadly. A collaborative effort by KSUT Tribal Radio and Rocky Mountain PBS aims to amplify Native voices by collecting personal stories from Native people of all ages and backgrounds. Each storyteller is encouraged to talk about what they think is important. The results—individually produced short videos, audio recordings, and even photographs—will be compiled in the project called “Native Lens.” We’ll talk about the power of stories and the way they help others understand Native people and issues.
Guests:
Charine Gonzales (San Ildefonso Pueblo) – lead editor for the Native Lens project
Sheila Nanaeto (Southern Ute) – station manager for KSUT tribal radio
Tanaya Winder (Duckwater Shoshone and Southern Ute) – engagement and cultural consultant for Native Lens
Tiara Collins (Navajo) – Native Lens storyteller
