Abstract
This study is an ethnographic exploration of a collaborative and community centred research project involving the researcher and the community of Fishing Lake Metis settlement situated in north-eastern Alberta. This study represents a digital strategy that sought decolonizing goals through Metis-specific research activities, community partnering and the culturally appropriate and meaningful appropriation of digital media. The project met several identified community needs, including the restoration of intergenerational connections and the revitalization of storytelling traditions, through a creative process realized through a collaboratively-led digital-storytelling workshop and related media activities. Fittingly, the work continues on in Fishing Lake.
