We are creating new media works about nature using our historic recordings with Indigenous peoples. 

The Idaho Mythweaver began in 1989. The arts and humanities guides our nonprofit, educational platform for storytelling. We help educate the public by making cross-cultural connections for people, and our work has always been in partnership with the Tribes of the Columbia Plateau Region.

We have created public radio documentaries, feature stories for radio and print, as well as sponsored performing arts events, lectures, cultural tours, intertribal gatherings, film screenings and cultural immersion classes for elementary schools in North Idaho.

Our first, five-part radio series, “Idaho Keepers of the Earth,” produced in 1990, explored the connections between traditional stories and oral histories, and modern day tribal ecological practices to form a pathway for everyone’s future. This set the pattern for decades of cultural work.

Our past media productions and audio recordings have been digitized and shared with tribes and appropriate regional library and museum archives. This “Native Voices Archive” is the foundation for Voices of the Wild Earth with the goal to create new media from the lessons and wisdom of Indigenous peoples about how to live on the land and create a new relationship with nature.
