We bring lost histories back to life for everyone’s benefit whether they are Indigenous or not.
We bring lost histories back to life for everyone’s benefit whether they are Indigenous or not.
Some may say history is written by the victors. We believe that oral history is gifted to us by our ancestors. We use sophisticated story excavation principles to guide our learning and understanding of the knowledge we are gifted.
It blends traditional Indigenous ways of knowing with “Western” academic knowledge. We consult with Elders, knowledge keepers, academics, historians, archivists, storytellers, as well as everyday people within Indigenous communities and their allies.
We learn from how stories match and where stories conflict. The knowledge that comes from this exercise generates a value that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
The stories we excavate are then turned into premium creative works that are designed to deeply connect with audiences on the right platform at the right time and in the right way for them to experience true understanding and positive change.
Maybe it’s a podcast, maybe it’s a Documentary, maybe it’s a TikTok post. Whatever the storytelling platform, we are determined to correct the historical record one story at a time
