Circle of Stories - Multimedia Collection and Activities

A multimedia collection of documentary film, photography, artwork, and music, the Circle of Stories website celebrates Native American storytelling. It is one of the resources highlighted in the recently launched Technology Curriculum Database, developed by YouthLearn for the U.S. Department of Education-funded National Partnership for Quality Afterschool Learning at SEDL.

Visitors can listen to four Native Americans tell their stories, explore current issues facing native cultures, view maps and photo galleries that reveal Native American heritage and influence, as well as share their own stories and feedback. In addition, the website features three interdisciplinary lesson plans designed for educators who work with teens.

Housed at PBS, Circle of Stories is an Electric Shadows project created and produced by Philomath Films, co-produced by The Cultural Conservancy, presented by ITVS Interactive, and designed and developed by Second Story Studios.
