YouTube Video of the talk at Ignite Tulsa

My five minutes of fame! Thanks to the entire team at Ignite Tulsa, as well as all the sponsors, the fellow speakers, and everyone who came out and supported us! It was a great night. I was QUITE nervous (and sick!), but I made it through thanks to my wife and daughter who were there to cheer me on.

Huge shout-out once again to Andrew Bryant who was also there to support us, and of course his wife who also gave a GREAT presentation, and to the Arts & Humanities Council for all of their support and help through this entire process. We’ve come pretty close to getting our final presentation and budget done, and ready to show to a few tribes and other groups. We’re getting closer to start working on our pilot project! I’m excited.

i spent today putting together a nice little powerpoint file that i hope takes all the notes, ideas, etc. that i’ve cobbled together, in to one cohesive presentation. ideally i’ll be able to take this around and show the scope of the project as well as talk about what is the next step we need to take, and where i need help & support. enjoy!

(obviously you need powerpoint to view this…)

brainstorming

i am in the brainstorming process of putting together a website called the, “native language project” (http://www.nativelanguageproject.com/) which would be an oral history project that records the stories, legends, and culture of native american elders. these are cultures that for the most part have little or no recorded history and as the elders of these tribes pass away, there’s often no-one to carry on that oral tradition, because the languages and knowledge are no longer passed on down to younger generations.
