My name is Leroy A Ironcloud I am 17 years old and Oglala Lakota. I have experience with a camera and interviewing people.
the project i'm proposing will help teach the Oglala Lakota people our culture, by videos I will make. there will be different types of videos, one type will be "how to" videos like how to make certain types of foods starting from how to harvest the plant or animal to how to cook it and all this info will come from people I'll interview. the people I will be mostly elders I will ask them about food and ways we do our ceremonys, bow and arrow making and to do a complete overview of the language, a big part of this project will be about the language
the problem I am trying to solve is to teach people all these things before they die out and not a lot of people know the language and how to make different foods except most of the elders that is why I want to make these videos to teach the people and keep our culture alive.
