Wellness Through Storytelling
Spotlight on You!
Joyful cultural photos or video clips needed!
Hey Tribal youth and elders! What cultural item is giving you joy in a pandemic? Send us your photo or a short video clip and your story will be featured in our website and upcoming August newsletter “Wellness Through Storytelling”. Submit your beautiful and unique responses to Laura Knapp, Community Outreach Coordinator, Resource Basket at lknapp@ruralcap.org
Need An Example?
Laura has provided a short video clip https://youtu.be/6FsVdrOvLIY as an example for tribal youth and elder to follow. Jump rope is her cultural item because they were first documented in China about 1,500 years ago. Jump roping is how she choose to cope during the COVID-19 pandemic.
