Indigenous Storytelling
A lot of the stuff I've posted so far is pretty white western-centric views of telling stories. The whole article is very informative! An excerpt:
"Many of the main characters in Plains Indian mythology never end. Not only are they immortal and indestructible—where they may be killed in one story and are right back at it in another—they also age with the listener. Coyote stories for children have childlike morals; for teens Coyote is a much rougher character; and, for elders only, grandpa Coyote is smart, and his stories are deep and filled with complicated plots and plans."

The Protect ICWA Campaign was established by four national Native
organizations: the National Indian Child Welfare Association, the National
Congress of American Indians, the Association on American Indian
Affairs, and the Native American Rights Fund. Together, the Campaign works
to serve and support Native children, youth, and families through upholding the
Indian Child Welfare Act. The Campaign works to inform policy, legal, and
communications strategies with the mission to uphold and protect ICWA.
The Indian Child Welfare Act (#ICWA) was put in place over 40 years
ago to curb generations of harm resulting from the targeted
assimilation of Native kids. On November 9th, it is being challenged
in front of #SCOTUS, in Haaland v. Brackeen.
@protecticwa invites families, leaders, singers, dancers, traditional
practitioners, elders, knowledge keepers, youth, and allies to join
them as they respectfully demonstrate support for ICWA at the
Supreme Court on November 9th, the day of oral arguments for
Haaland v. Brackeen.
If opponents succeed in dismantling ICWA, they will have cleared
the way for a larger attack on Native families, Native land, and tribal
sovereignty. We all must stand up for ICWA.

Join @ProtectICWA for a respectful
demonstration on Nov. 9:
