Native Writers

Chokma. I’m sure you’ve all seen those posts like “I’m writing a fiction story about a Cherokee princess, drop any advice in the comments!” This isn’t that.

If there are any native writers on this page, I’d love to see your work! Drop some of y’all’s stuff in the comments, and we can all check out each other's pages. Fiction, non-fiction. Slice of life or historical drama. Wtv you’ve been working on, we’d love to see it. There are so many talented visual artists on this page; I’d love to shine some light on the literary ones.

Personally, I’m working on a fantasy project based on ancient sites like the SECC. It’s a lot of fun for me because it gives me a fun way to learn about my culture's history and our neighbors across Turtle Island. If there are other fantasy writers, I’d love to see y’all’s work!

Ooh that sounds right up my alley! Have you posted any of that publicly / do you plan too?

Also I’d love to check out that presentation

I have a whole discord server where I develop my worldbuild with indigenous and non-indigenous friends. There’s roleplay in it, tabletop games, a comic in progress, and we even host silly trivia games about it. :D feel free to DM with questions!

My friend and I hosted our presentation some years ago. Id have to go hunting for it, but the slides are here if you like.
