The Zuni storytelling project: an early American Indian example of technology in the service of preserving cultural heritage
This presentation reports on the important role played by technology in a multi-year project to document storytelling traditions conducted among the Zuni people, an American Indian tribe. This project had several important results. First, it produced a number of Zuni language radio programs which were broadcast in the native language by the radio station owned by the tribe. These programs played an important role in cultural revitalization. Second, as well as benefitting the Zuni American Indian community, the project recordings also provided professional folklorists new insights into the specific aesthetic dimensions of Zuni storytelling tradition that were previously unknown. And third, the project raised new questions about the use of technology to document cultural heritage, that had a significant impact on our subsequent work, both in the United States and in Siberia.
