Voices Across the Water: Telling Our Stories, Gathering Strength

Our stories shape us and those who hear us. We sustain Tlingit culture through telling personal histories, community histories, and traditional stories. What songs and stories did your mother, father, grandparents sing and tell you that give you strength? What do you want your great, great grandchildren to know? We can make for you, or teach you to make, recordings for yourself and your descendants.

Native Americans and the Film Industry
