Storytelling is an age-old connector. The ways in which we construct our personal context is often through our shared stories, inherited and adopted, these narratives build bridges of understanding and rich interpersonal bonds. Nova Scotia and Antigonish Nalikitquniejk; 'The places where branches are torn off' have a wealth of converging cultural folklore about belonging, connection, organizing and now more than ever sharing our narratives of relations, land and of the self is crucial.  

Sharing stories within communities is largely a bonding ritual that exists outside the confines and class politics of classroom spaces and institutions and moves into more intimate venues, like our kitchen tables, community centres, libraries, church rooms etc.

What are our stories of sustenance? What are the stories that we hold close to persevere in hard times? What stories give us hope, resilience, power? What stories help us imagine the future? Who tells them?
