✨📚 Former NativeLit students and young professionals, Paloma Lopez and Olivia Martinez, and Agalisiga Mackey, Cherokee-language educator and performer, share how they have been impacted by NativeLit curriculum in their experiences as educators and creators in various artistic mediums in their home communities. Paloma will share how NativeLit continues to influence her as both an early childhood educator and author of an award-winning picture book. Olivia, a land-based learning educator, will share how NativeLit has impacted her work outside of a traditional classroom setting, and the connection of place to storytelling. Finally, Agalisiga, introduced to NativeLit later in his adult life, shares how it relates to his work as a songwriter, performer, and Indigenous-language advocate. Their presentation will include time for questions at the end. 📚✨
