How To Write Here at Medium
A Space for Indigenous Voices
Share your words
Share your words for you, for your family, for your children.
Share your words because you believe in them, their energy, their purpose.
Share because you have felt too silenced for too long.
Share your words, because we want to hear them.
We need to hear them.
Poetic words like those in Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Kimmerer, inspiring words like those in Sand Talk by Tyson Yunkaporta, or haunting words like those in Bad Cree by Jessica Johns.
Or maybe it’s words about food and Chef Loretta Barrett Oden and Chef Sean Sherman come to mind.
Or any of dozens of other stories that need to be told.
We are here as editors to support you and your words — to help you format, navigate technology, or answer questions that help you find clarity in what you wish to say.
We are not here to change your intent or meaning.
This publication is for you if you identify as tribal, first peoples/nations, aboriginal, adivasi, janajati. If you are unsure, this might not be the space for you.
