Digital Storytelling

Digital stories are classroom learning resources of oral histories shared by story-tellers from Fishing Lake Métis Settlement, Jasper National Park or featuring art and books.

Each story is accompanied by a video, a transcript, and printable or digital teaching resources. RLI is committed to honouring Métis culture and the authentic voices and stories of the Métis people, while also introducing and equipping teachers to use and share community-created, authentic Métis resources.
