The medium may have evolved but the message is a part of the legacy. Digital storytelling preserves and shares a community’s culture and stories through beautiful imagery, videos, audio recordings, and the written word. Share the spirit and identity of your people through a community-driven site, an interactive tour, or digital storytelling. Visit Chesterfield Inlet Stories to see an example of CES’ digital storytelling.
