Video Title:
Chickaloonies Comic Art
Description:
The Chickaloonies Comic Art project provides engaging and creative educational resources to help empower Indigenous youth in Alaska and beyond. Our work focuses on the comic art form as a creative way to learn about, express and perpetuate Indigenous heritage and Indigenous ways of learning: honoring Elders and knowledge-keepers and seeking to learn from them; experiencing the impact of storytelling and traditional values; learning multi-faceted information from heritage pieces in museum collections; and creating contemporary arts inspired by historic arts. Find the project resources on Smithsonian Learning Lab at https://learninglab.si.edu/q/ll-c/3BAlvoHgbadKSPp0#r/57095. Project team: Artist Dimi Macheras (Ahtna Athabascan), 80% Studios; artist Casey Silver (non-Native), 80% Studios; cultural heritage collaborator Melissa Shaginoff (Ahtna Athabascan, Paiute); and project manager Dawn Biddison (non-Native), Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center, Alaska office .
