Abstract

This master's project aims to combine the learning of a new language with the preservation of Indigenous oral traditions. The Bora Tribe living in the Brillo Nuevo Village located in the Peruvian Amazon Jungle has asked me to develop a workshop that would teach them about North American Indigenous cultures and help their youth with conversational English. The Bora tribe uses oral traditions to pass on culture. In keeping with that tradition, the workshop will focus on the impact of colonization of North American Indigenous communities as well as the preservation of oral stories and history.
