Ways to reclaim our narrative as Indigenous Peoples 👇🏽

1. Making our own image.
2. Writing our own story.
3. Having healthy collaborations.
4. Owning our image, literally.
5. Honoring those in front of the image.

What do you think?

We are currently working on the “Identity” portion of this project . In this part, Indigenous peoples will make their own image and write their legacy statement. Finally we will print the image and put it up on a wall, together.

“We always took care of our elders, we took care of our children. We always provided for them. We taught them right from wrong.

I wish I could see the mass of young men put that energy into making this country really great.��
