Culture Revitalization and Storytelling
naqsílt
We are immensely proud to introduce naqsílt or “One Family,” a groundbreaking cartoon series that embarks on an inspiring journey to connect Indigenous youth with the richness of Upper Columbia Plateau culture, history, and sacred creation stories.
Created with the utmost respect for tradition and a deep commitment to cultural preservation, “One Family” is a captivating educational experience that bridges generations and shares the essence of our heritage in an engaging and accessible format.
We hope you feel represented, seen, heard, and excited to learn about the Upper Columbia Plateau creation stories and connect them to your life.
This is an ongoing project that we need your love and support to keep it growing. If you’d like to sponsor a character, storyboard, episode, or publishing of a storybook, please reach out to us at [email protected]!
All of these characters were created and drafted by Mikaela Williams, vectorized by Ksenia at @ksuview, and 3D modeled by Hoda Moghim @hodamoghim.
“ Our elders once told of a prophecy that said our stories would come back when they had been lost. Guiding the youth who became too powerful to control. The stories are coming back to help shape and guide the younger generations,"
