For the past 2 weeks I was working with the Department of Chahta Immi (Tribal language and culture department). The preparation work that I did including making a workshop manual and Power Points for the sessions.
From May 25-27 we had the workshop. I was the main presenter. The topics we covered included:
1. storytelling methods & techniques
2. storytelling demonstrations
3. recording methods & techniques
4. a recording demonstration
5. storytelling in the bigger picture of the Department of Chahta Immi and the archives.
Stories are powerful. They are a way to connect with others around us.
Next week we’ll do some follow-up recording activities. Something of note was the fact that the Choctaw staff members who did presentation sessions spoke in Choctaw!
On a personal level, I feel like I’ve learned more about presenting to a Choctaw audience. I got some feedback and was able to improve throughout.
