DIGITAL STORYTELLING IN ANISHINAABE COMMUNITIES & SCHOOLS
Living Histories supports youth from tribal communities as they weave together history and culture through the arts of digital media and writing. It is a program that builds leadership skills for individuals living within a community. The program was developed in 1998 and today typically serves hundreds of people each year.
In 2023 In Progress is honored to partner with the Bug O Nay Ge Shig School / Leech Lake Reservation and North Woods School / Bois Forte Reservation. In Progress artists Kristine Sorensen, Aaliyah McQueen and Tiana LaPointe will offer residency based activities that connect culture to learning to digital storytelling.
