Explore inspiring, first-person stories from Indigenous youth worldwide — and share your own! Our Indigenous Youth Storytellers Circle (IYSC) provides a global platform for Indigenous youth to share their unique perspectives online. Stories may also be considered for Langscape Magazine, Terralingua’s flagship publication, if they speak to that issue’s theme.
We started the IYSC in 2019 as an official project of the UN’s International Year of Indigenous Languages. Since then, young Indigenous authors, poets, artists, photographers, and filmmakers from all over the world have contributed. Their stories explore how Indigenous people are connecting with ancestral languages, cultural traditions, and land-based knowledge and practices. Our Indigenous Youth Ambassadors are helping disseminate IYSC stories widely and making this opportunity better known to their peers.
