Youth Design of Digital Stories to Promote Indigenous Voices

Stories are powerful tools to share life, culture, and experiences with others while promoting learning and engagement in the storyteller. Working with a group of high school Alaska Native youth, this project will guide students through the process of designing and creating digital stories to promote Indigenous voices and encourage reflection. Twenty Southeast Alaska Native youth will create digital stories sharing their experiences with culture and language revitalization on an immersion trip. The final products and materials used for designing will be analyzed to identify the affordances of digital storytelling tools the youth use, the level of reflection present within their final products, and the cultural connections the youth make.
