Description
The ultimate purpose is to match Native youths' interest in digital technology with their need to be grounded in Native values that can help them to develop healthy coping mechanisms, create strong linkages to their culture and community, and develop healthy habits and skills to stand them in good stead as future leaders of their communities. As their communities' most important asset, these young people will recognize and value their culture and heritage as valuable assets and create new assets in the form of the digital stories that will involve and educate other community members.
