Oral tradition is a sacred practice within All of our culture, communities, And families. Along with the coordinated dance of simply talking and being heard, oral tradition helps people learn life lessons their own way.
Through time immemorial our people and ancestors have used the oral tradition of storytelling to pass down history, values, language, and culture to each generation.
In this first episode of the YAI podcast we talk about learning the language of our Native American culture: we are the Lummi people from the Pacific Northwest in Bellingham Washington.
Embrace Community Values through videos created by Children of the Setting Sun Productions, Colibri Facilitation, and The Arc of Washington that beautifully illustrate the diverse and vibrant values within our community.
