Kit
Heritage Archive: Indigenous American Family Stories Pack
Culturally Specific Printable Insert Pages
Document your nation's history through your family's part.
Indigenous American families across the 574 federally recognized tribes and the many more state-recognized and unrecognized nations — carrying histories of land theft, forced removal, boarding school trauma, and cultural suppression alongside the deep continuity of Indigenous knowledge, ceremony, language, and kinship systems that survived everything the United States attempted to destroy
The Name It First Experience
Indigenous American families carry a history that precedes the United States by thousands of years — and a century of active federal policy designed to end them. The Dawes Act. The boarding schools. Forced sterilization. Termination policy. Relocation to urban areas. And the communities that held on anyway: the ceremonies conducted in secret, the languages whispered to grandchildren, the land relationships maintained through legal battles, the sovereignty asserted and reasserted against every attempt to extinguish it. This pack gives Indigenous American families structured prompts to document what the elders carry: the nation and clan identity, the specific land history, the boarding school generation's experience if the family chooses to share it, the ceremonies and practices that survived, and the work of cultural reclamation happening now. The output is a documented family archive — held by the family, shared only as the family decides.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What land, season, or ceremony do you most closely associate with your sense of who your family is?
- Who taught you the most about where you come from — and how did they teach you?
- What part of your heritage do you feel is most at risk of being lost — and what would it mean to preserve it?
- What do you want the next generation to know about what your family has lived through?
