* Sept. UPDATE: Partially Deaf NDN Shot Dead in Seattle - see News n Updates page *
The historical marginalization of indigenous people, the dogma of stigma, the continued oppression of an entire race of people to the political and social edges of society cannot and must not continue. Telling the story begins the healing. Telling the story also begins the true understanding of a history of both tragedy and triumph.
Whisper n Thunder exists to tell that story, to empower through the expression of uncensored truth. Open and honest discourse will bring transformation; transformation will bring change. Change for a tomorrow where suicide, substance abuse, depression and isolation are no longer a part of the conversation.
