Heritage Archive: Nigerian American Family Stories Pack
Culturally Specific Printable Insert Pages
Your family's story is older than Nigeria itself. This is how you start writing it down.
For the Nigerian American families across Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa-Fulani, Edo, and other ethnic lineages — including first-generation immigrants who came for education or opportunity, their American-born children navigating dual identity, and families holding histories that span colonization, civil war, and rebuilding
The Name It First Experience
Nigerian American families carry histories layered with pre-colonial ethnic identity, British colonial rule, independence, the Biafran War, military dictatorships, and a diaspora that has produced one of the most educated immigrant communities in American history. They also carry the rich oral traditions of their specific ethnic lineages — praise names, family histories, proverbs, and the particular weight of being the child expected to justify the sacrifice of immigration. This pack gives families structured prompts to document all of it: the ethnic lineage, the hometown, the immigration story, the titles and accomplishments that matter in the family's own terms, and the values that crossed the Atlantic. The output is a documented family archive.
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
- Tell me about the person in your family whose story you most want preserved. What do you want the next generation to know about them?
- I want to start with a memory. Think of a celebration — a wedding, a naming ceremony, a family gathering. What do you remember about it? What does it feel like to think about it now?
- What do you most want the next generation to know about your family's Nigerian heritage and their story in America?
- What does Nigerian American identity mean in your family — the specific heritage and the American experience together?
