Tribal Literacy

Tribal literacy refers to the ability of Indigenous communities to read, write, and engage with written language within their cultural and social contexts. It encompasses not only traditional literacy skills but also the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous languages and storytelling traditions. Tribal literacy initiatives often aim to empower communities by strengthening cultural identity, ensuring historical knowledge is passed down, and promoting educational opportunities that respect and incorporate Indigenous perspectives. Ultimately, it supports self-determination and cultural resilience by blending modern literacy with Indigenous heritage.
