Indigenous cultures have passed on intergenerational knowledge through oral traditions, including storytelling. Storytelling has been used to teach culture, values, customs, history, relationships, and ways of life since time immemorial. Storytelling is a large part of our cultural practices and ways of life as it guides us and is the foundation for learning. Our stories are diverse and can range from sacred stories we only tell among ourselves to funny stories that offer humor and are shared with anyone who will take the time to listen. They can revolve around social, political, or cultural lessons. Some families even have their own version of a story which captures their unique experiences. As you can see, storytelling has long been a practice of our Indigenous people and it remains an inherent part of our culture today. However, our stories represented in the media at a disproportionate rate and our roles in stories are often historical or invisible. Our stories in media are associated with addiction, poverty and a lack of formal education. However, that makes our story incomplete because it fails to capture the beauty, strength, and resiliency of our people. That is why Many Nations Studios is committed to telling your story in a culturally responsive and authentic way. We are committed to telling the stories of Indigenous people from all backgrounds. We want to tell the stories about Indigenous business, Pacific Northwest Tribes, and the untold stories. Above all we are committed to storytelling that transforms.
