This Thanksgiving, EchoX staff, Board members, & DIGITIZE youth members have curated media, music, and resources discussing both contemporary and historical issues Indigenous Americans have faced in the past and continue to face today.
As Grandmother Taught: Women, Tradition, & Plateau Art
Don’t miss “As Grandmother Taught,” an exhibit at the Washington State History Museum that highlights the techniques and materials of Indigenous women of the Columbia River Plateau.
Inspiration—An Interview with the Creator of “How to Look Cool Online”
Last month, we wrapped up our first fully virtual online workshop, “How to Look Cool Online!” The workshop, imagined by EchoX DIGITIZE Youth Council member Jacob Arnez, was created for middle & high school students to learn HTML basics and become more comfortable expressing themselves online.
Designed to convey the crises grappling Indigenous communities—a caged baby representing children who faced violation of human rights; red handprints indicating missing and murdered Indigenous womenfolk, this totem pole is a skillful medium for storytelling, raising awareness, and uniting communities with a shared meaning around environmental preservation and human rights enforcement.
