Indigenous Stories

Indigenous Stories

Indigenous Stories records original traditional stories told in native languages, and translated into english.


Video recordings with professional editing to create a library of folktales, traditional tales and stories, told in the original indigenous languages.


Pre-Production

We work with our Indigenous friends to select original folktales and traditional stories. We work together to prepare to record the stories using the Zoom platform. We work to prepare the stories to be told in the original Indigenous language, and have a translator to tell the story in English.


Production


We record the stories being told in the Indigenous language, with translation.


Post-Production


We edit the Zoom recording. We include additional digital assets (when available). We post the stories; all content is open to the public.


Library of Indigenous Stories


All Indigenous Stories are intended to be made available to be accessed and viewed by the public, free of charge. All Indigenous people will have free rights to all content.

The Lion, The Ostrich and The Squirrel: An Ancient Maasai Folktale in Print


Now Available in two formats

MCEP has released The Lion, The Ostrich and The Squirrel, an ancient Maasai folktale, in the form of a children’s coloring book. This folktale, illustrated by Bucks County PA artist Pat Achilles, is available in two formats, English and Maa or English and Swahili. 


In an effort to preserve the Maasai mother tongue, which is not taught in Kenyan schools, Daniel Salau Rogei translated the folktale into Maa which we incorporated into a Maa/English edition.


In addition to being available for schools in America, Maasai children across Kenyan primary schools will read this very old story.The Lion, the Ostrich and the Squirrel may be purchased for $10.


Proceeds benefit the Maasai Education Fund.
