Today there’s a sense that we’re living in a new world, a different era, where some of the things we thought might always require tedious struggles seem not so far away anymore. We’re so excited that you were brave enough to make the obvious best choice this time around, taking control (finally) in a powerful way. It seemed like Americans might never join the rest of the world, those of us who are pretty sick of seeing wealth and power horded and abused by rich old white cowboys, bible thumpers, and military men. This is the first time an American President Elect has even given a nod to First Nations in his inaugural address to the voters. Way to go!

Out of respect for the elders and ancestors who acted in our benefit to maintain these relationships over the years, we’ve resisted adopting many of the research, interpretation, and representation methodologies that have been employed by outsiders visiting our communities in the past. Such techniques have failed to adequately address and/or convey the important connections inherent between kitawahsinnoon (the environment which nourishes us), kippaitapiiyssinnoon (our sustainable way of life), and niitsitapisskska’takssin (our knowledge paradigm). Moreover, in accepting responsibility for this animated theme bundle, we have assumed the naturalization and validation of indigenous knowledge systems, and have therefore relied almost solely on our community’s own records as the relevant “body of literature” for this project – our language, songs, stories, ceremonies, and places.
