Telling the Stories is a New Mexico based digital and on-line
project concerned with cultural preservation, including songs,
histories, personal anecdotes, and other pieces of intangible
heritage, many in Native languages. It was launched with storytelling
workshops organized by the Indigenous Language Institute and supported
by many organizations. Each of the digital stories is produced
by community members.
