Experience stories from the cities you thought you knew.
Indigenous Cities presents memories from Indigenous community members based in cities across Canada; memories that have been interpreted by Indigenous artists to create a unique audio storytelling experience.
We invite you to explore our virtual maps, watch video of the locations where each of these real stories takes place, and listen to these meaningful audio stories and songs. This year’s stories are based in the cities known as Vancouver, Saskatoon, and Ottawa.
This year is just the beginning, as Indigenous Cities will continue to feature stories from across the country in future seasons.
The creation and development of Indigenous Cities adhered to the health and safety guidelines of the regions in which it has been developed. We encourage our audiences to adhere to the COVID-19 restrictions in their own region as they engage in this experience.
I am so excited to share with you all Indigenous Cities: The Stories Here.
Now covered over with asphalt and concrete, the stories of our lands past and present are obscured by the busy streets of our modern reality. Indigenous Cities reveals the Stories Here, stories told about these cities from an Indigenous perspective.
I hope you enjoy these wonderful stories and that they help peel back the concrete and asphalt to reveal something new to you, about the cities you thought you knew.
