Look Back and Move Forward
Stories have the power to inspire and educate. Tales can be especially powerful when they include familiar people and places, which is why storytelling is a project that Wozu wants to encourage and promote.
Additionally, storytelling is an activity that celebrates our ancestral heritage and spreads historical and cultural awareness.
We have plans for an interpretive center that will act as a venue for a variety of speakers, events, interactive workshops, and more. And serve as a way to normalize our way of life in the community.
Some of the focal points for social regeneration include storytelling, traditional food, sacred places, and native language.
Additional Cultural Regeneration projects include:
- Storytelling Nights – sharing oral history through elders and indigenous knowledge holders
- Language Classes – community classes led by fluent native speakers.
- Cultural Practices – tipi construction, ceremonial teachings and practices, and traditional roles and responsibilities.
- Historical Resources – materials that tell the Cannon Ball story from its peoples’ perspective.
