We invite you to join us for Stories from the Warrior Society, a live storytelling event that explores the evolution of warrior societies in Tribal communities through the voices of Indigenous veterans and active duty military across three generations.

Each site will feature stories from six Native people who are veterans or active duty— two of whom will be drawn from each site’s local Tribal communities as well as the directors who are Navajo storytellers themselves.

This is a community event rooted in the practice of oral tradition. Stories will be shared in the spirit of Indigenous storytelling—creating space to gather, witness, and honor those who protect, serve, and care for our people. The evening includes storytelling alongside contemporary and archival images and music.

Each gathering opens with a traditional blessing from local Indigenous culture bearers. A facilitated community conversation, led by Indigenous journalists or cultural workers, will follow to invite shared reflection and dialogue.
