This learning resource focuses on the importance of oral history and community storytelling, guiding students through the process of conducting respectful interviews within their community. The objective is to transform these oral accounts into written or multimedia artifacts that honor and preserve the unique experiences of those who call Huron home. Students will explore their personal connections to Huron, distinguish between oral and written histories, and engage in community mapping to identify significant places and individuals. Through interview skills development and a final project, they will share their findings creatively, using a variety of formats such as audio, written narratives, digital presentations, or visual art.
