Living Stories (2013)

Storytelling is central to virtually every civilization, and those indigenous to the Pacific Northwest are no exception. But several hundred years of disruption to our traditional lifestyles have also wrought changes upon our stories and how we tell them. Living Stories consists of five interviews with Native professionals living in Oregon and Northwest California who use stories, traditional and modern, in their professional and personal lives. It is an exploration of an ongoing dialog of how we as indigenous people can adapt to a radically changed world while still holding true to our identities as Native people.
