PNW Native Collection continues the Native Voices 2021 Capstone project. Our project expanded upon the map and website designed by Adylenne Ascencio and Rachel Kresl by adding more resources. The goal was to collect both books and films written and created by Indigenous creators of the Pacific Northwest into a database that can be shared with both Native and non-Native communities. We added 46 new items, updated the name of the project, and thought of organizations we could share this resource with. This resource will help others easily find resources that celebrate Indigenous creators, and it also promotes land acknowledgment.
