“Telling our stories” is based on the Latino Roots in Lane County project where many life stories of Latino immigrants were recorded for an exhibit and a documentary film at the Lane County museum. Our mission is to bring out community voices that may not often be heard.
The site is a collaborative project of the following:

The mission of the Oregon Folklife Network is to make a meaningful difference in Oregon communities and Tribes by documenting, supporting, and celebrating our diverse cultural traditions and by empowering our tradition-bearers.
