In alignment with the goals of the Waking Women's Healing Institute, we have collaborated on a connected set of media frameworks which work to uplift the stories and voices of water protectors, survivors of colonial and gender-based violence, and families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit people. Over the course of the MIT spring 2022 semester, our team worked to combine personal testimonies, written messages, art, images, videos, sound recording, quotes, and geographic storytelling into story collections about issues surrounding MMIW and the protection of land, water, and people. Interactive maps are used to connect our stories, issues, and solutions to the land as well.
The product is a live online library which is a constantly growing collection of interactive Story Maps to uplift voices and ignite healing.
