The power of sharing stories

For those of you accustomed to being taken from point A to point B to point C, this presentation may be somewhat difficult to follow. Pueblo expression resembles something like a spider’s web-with many Little threads radiating from the center, crisscrossing one another. As with the web, the structure emerges as it is made, and you must simply listen and trust, as the Pueblo people do, that meaning will be made (Leslie Marmon Siiko, 1996, quoted in Archibald, 1997, p. 10).

When I have allowed my mind to wander late at night pondering the meaning of all that I find from my Aboriginal relations in social media spaces – the words, stories, songs in videos, blogs, tweets and Facebook conversations – I am left with an inkling that there is Medicine at work.
