Indigenizing "failure" - Missed-takes and learning stories

 Many years ago I wrote a paper on how to have a productive relationship with failure.  We have used the concepts from this paper as we have moved our Bear work forward and found a lot of teachings in letting go of a fear of failure.  I have wanted to apply Indigenous Methodologies for a long time.

After some time and consideration, I realized that it was not a matter of writing more.  Given the centrality of oral tradition in Indigenous cultures and Methodologies I wanted to create a space for story telling about what we have learnt, what our Ancestors/Elders have gifted us with and the wisdom from all our relations.  This will be an evergreen space to access and share these stories.  

Need to think about failure?  Choose a link that is speaking to year and listen to what it has to teach.  We will add more over time.

If you have a story to add, send me a link and together we will learn and support each other.
