Make a difference

Every contribution helps breathe life into a growing collection of children’s books that honor Indigenous languages, cultures,
and community storytelling. This project began with a single story—written, illustrated, and self-published with the intention of
becoming a resource for language revitalization. Today, it is expanding through direct collaboration with tribal language programs,
each working to translate the book into their own sovereign language.
​
Your donation supports a culturally respectful process where:
 
Indigenous language speakers lead the translation.
Each tribe retains full rights over their language version, ensuring that every translation is handled with accuracy, dignity, and cultural authority.
 
Children gain access to culturally grounded books.
Translated storybooks become tools for early learning, family engagement, and language preservation within tribal communities.
​
Language sovereignty remains central.
Every partnership honors the rightful ownership tribes hold over their languages, ensuring communities have control over how
their translations are used and shared.
​
Why It Matters
Indigenous languages carry identity, memory, and belonging. When children see their language brought to life through story, it strengthens
cultural connection and supports the next generation of fluent speakers. Your support helps make that possible, one book at a time.
