pê-âcimohk. Let us tell you a
story. For Aboriginal people, storytelling is a way of using metaphor
to understand our roles and responsibilities on the planet. Recently,
Aboriginal storytellers from across Canada and around the world have been
carrying their traditional and contemporary narratives into the world
of digital media. Starting from a foundation based on a Cree worldview
(nêhiyawin), TELL explores a variety of contemporary issues related
to Aboriginal new media storytelling, giving a voice to all our relations
by profiling the work of Indigenous storytellers from across North America
and the globe.
